The Potter journal. [volume] (Coudersport, Pa.) 1857-1872, 1859-08-18

Bsg- We have received the Monte.lo
.(Wis) Ledger, published by G. K. Sy-
monds and c. NJ Comstock, in Marquette
county. Mr.. Comstock is, we believe,
well known to our citizens as Charley
.Cemstock, and formerly worked on the
"Higbtand Patriot" in this place. The
Ledger is a clever looking little sheet,
and devoted to the Douglas interest
Potter Co. (Ra) Journal.
RE- 1t does us good to look over the
pages of the Joarnat-recalls old and
very pleasant recollections Of the past
How we used to catch the little "speckled
fellers," roam through the woods with
the girls, and cut up all sorts Of "didos. 7"
In looking over the advertisements, we
notice but few changes srncc our depart
ure; the same old firms are still doing
business, and Dan Glassmire still keeps
the Coudersport Hotel, the model house
of Northern Pennsylvania. If you are
young man brother Chase, just kiss
the girls for us; if not, deputlse Kelley.

BgCHARLEY CoMsToCK, Potter ooun-
ty isn't ''anywhere." If you want to see
anything of Pennsylvania, just travel east"
into OldTIoGA, where are the handsomest
county seat the prettiest girls, best 'fel-
lers," and most Republicans Of any coun-
ty in the Keystone State. The senior
"we" Of this paper, while conducting the
"Tfoga Banner" at Wellsboro, printed
the first number of the "Potter County
JOurnat for McDougall-there being at
that time only half-horse printing office
at Coudersport Potter county is quite
a "place" now, but nothing to brag Of
Tioga would resent that mode Of testing
the nectar of "tu-lips.-Better go and do
it in propria persona Waushara Wis.,
Argus.
RG~We are grateful to Bro. Webb. for
his good opinion of fold Tioga," but we
protest against his bringing our girls Into
the "kissing scrape }" at all. Whatever
they used to do in that line when the
Tloga Banner was printed here, we know
that they "don't do sich things" now.
AS for Comstock and Chase and Kelley
they must not come here to kiss the girls,
but Webb may-if he can.-Tto9a Agt-
tdt0r.
BagH The "reminiscences Of the past, so
pleasantly recalled in the above, are well
worthy Of preservation in the files of the
JOURNAL, therefore We give them place
Our friend Webb is truly loyal to his old
Aame-Republcan Tioga-the Banner
county of the State, and made so in a great
measure, we learn, by his able advoca-
cy Of Truth and Right-yet, we claim for
our " Little Potter" the honor of being an
agile and true flag to Tioga's legions
we are only weaker in numbers and not
in faith: We give two-thirds of our votes
to the Right, and Tioga does not do much
more. The contest of 1860, we trust,
will make us aH right-except, perhaps,
Tim. Ives and few more of his kind.
That half-horse printing Office, G, B.
Cotter still at its head, is here again, and
maintains a sickly existence by begging
from and levying tributes upon the party
leaders, who would give anything almost
to be rid of their burden. BlackguardiSm
is its most distinguished characteristic !;
and it has been carried to an extent that
disgusts even the lowest and mcanest
democrat in the county.
Our friend of the 4gjtator is hereby
notified that we have better kissing here
than Tioga can afford, and c need not
be alarmed about our coming there. He
comes here when he wants goat kissing.
