Brownstown (IN) Jackson County Democrat, April 18, 1854, page 2 The White River Standard mentions Capt. Medy W. Shields, of this county, as an aspirant for Congress. This is the first time we have heard of the Captain's face being turned towards Washington City. He would make a good member, but he is State Senator for two years to come, and we think there is some mistake about his board being up at present. Constance T.
