"MAN' A CHILD HE.MADE

Although it, is against the rules of
a' newspaper to (publish communica--
tiens 'which . come unsigned, we are
departing' from that rule today by al-
lowing the following to appear. It
reached this office yesterblay and we.
have no Mea who was the writer, but
it was evidently written as a trbute
to the memory of a manwho until
a few years ago was a well-known
citizen >of Clinton. There may be
,other's,who feel the same way. "Uncle
Toni" Jackson was certainly the
children's friend: ' • '

ilonger periods. We are also indebt-
