Mint is the essence of the deliberations
of the committee, printed entirely and
solely a a matter of news, without

copy ourself and hustled the signature
of the secretary in order to make the
statement authentic. There wa no
resolution offered by the meeting that
the county papers be furnished copy for

ing that if we were permitted to furnish
our reader with desired information,
wo would have to do so upon our own
responsibility. Brother Blackford had
ample opportunity to interview the
