and witnessed by a large crowd.
The ltanntft’rs of the Jackson Coun-

very great and important service to
their -country. It was rot only im-

preciate deeply the service that these
good and patriotic men performed in

we say it Was no easy’ task to serve
on this hoard and we commend Mes-
srs. McClure, White and Hunt for a
swell job.
