The Eddyville Star . . .

. . . is the name of a new paper just started in the enterprising town of Eddyville by Messrs. Melich and McConnell.  It is a very handsome paper and has the true Republican ring.  It deserves to be supported, and the people of Eddyville and the surrounding country ought to furnish material aid to keep it going.  We take pleasure in exchanging, and would have “responded” sooner had we ever seen a request to do so.  And that is “wherefore” we could “[sae] cruel be.”
