A paragraph stating that there is a saloon keeper in Andrew, in Jackson County, whose name is Jesus Christ Blessing, has started on its annual round. And it is as much a lie as though it hadn’t been told so often and so well stuck to by the press. There is a Johann Christopher Blessing in Andrew, who sells beer, and he abbreviates his name to J. Christ Blessing; but there is no Jesus in it-Indeed, it is doubtful whether he ever heard of such a person.
