The Delphi Journal, the most influential and far -the largest circulated pap r in Carroll county, makes full amends for the malicious attacks of the Herald, of the saiqe town, on Honier Dobbins, Rensselaer’s star foot ball player and all around athlete and good lad, in the following art ide from its i-siie of this week. . The Journal says: ~. SOMETHING ABOUT HOMER DOBBINS The Rensselaer Republican has taken exception to an aitide that appeared in a receM tissue _ofthe Delphi Herald. We have known Homer Dobbins for several years and have watched his career on the football gridiron with much interest. He is a progressive player and one of the fastest spri uters t hat ever wore a high school uniform in. the state.—He is a wort hy young man and entitled to praise instead ot ridicule.He is a senior in the Rensselaer schools, and has kept up , his school work and at the same time earned a living by working morning and evening at the postoflice. He played with the Rensselaer boys here last year and we are not familiar with any criticism be ing made of his playing at that time. We only wish * that the country had more such players as Homer I )ol >1 >i us ami more yon ttg men ol Hie same < h<iiacter.
