- The people in this vicinity are getting awakened over the enormity of the sheriff's bill. Thanks to THE UNION, which the majority of the citizens about here take. Either through the neglect to secure a supervisor's book or carelessness in looking it through, but few realize the actual facts in the case. But, thanks to a good, live newspaper, the people are becoming enlightened. The action to be brought against the sheriff is commended by all.
