We have been receiving many
articles pro and con in regard to
the condition of the sidewalks in
Monmouth. As both sides have
bad an inning in this paper, we
have concluded further discussion
is unnecessary and have stopped
the arguments as far as the paper
is concerned. This explanation
would not go in type were it not
for this reason. Many or the ar
ticles submitted have accused Mrs
Laure Adkins. one of our corre
spondents at Monmouth, as having
submitted the accusations in re
gard to the conditions of the side
walks with mercenary motives.
We have onlv this to say: This
correspondent has never submitted
a single assertion through the col
umns of this paper either way, and
a wrong is being done by bringing
her name into the discussion.
With this word of explanation we
shall consider the incideut closed.

painful injury to the right lower
limb. She was unable to me and
after being carried into the home

he decided that there ware no
broken bones, but a very bad
sprain. Mrs. Frye has recently
arrived from Nebraska and is visit

many friends during her visit here
