It wasn’t witjp’Ta groan,

The article in another column con

we have said, from time to time. But
will say those interested have the
ikierty to explain the matter through
the columns of this paper. We persist
in saying that we don’t know anything
CQioparatixely, about the management
of these fiunices. Let some one who is
conversant with the matter come to the
