Maysville Eagle, Maysville, Ky. August, 21, 1867

From the Lexington Statesmen and typed as published in the Maysville Eagle:

WM. DOWDEN, Sheriff, has appointed Enoch Seals, (colored) his agent to collect the
State tax due from the negroes.  This is a good appointment, as Seals in an energetic
and intelligent man and will perform the duties of his office well. We are glad to
see this dispaly of liberal views on the part of Mr. Dowden.
