. . . circulated against the reputation of Oskaloosa in regard to
the election of a Mrs. Nancy Smith to the Mayoralty, is false. Mrs. Nancy Smith did receive three votes from some wags, while B. F. Ingles received
156 votes for the same office. The false
report came originally from the Oskaloosa Times, A paper whose regard for truth
is not remarkably prominent. The Oskaloosa
Herald ventilates the matter properly.
