Enron JOURNAL I'll see Ivy last weeks
bdspeadenf that it's editor is good deal
troubled about our Post Ofiico here. IIay-
ing heretofore predicted that Edgerton
would not get tho Post Office, ] admit his
prophecy to have come true, and will endea.
vor to enighten his understanding as to
why Edgertou was not the successful APP
plicant although he had been recommended
f,r tho office by the present incumbent, and
had circulated petition TO very limited
extent. Now sir, want to say TO him and
tho faithful few who signed Edgerton's pe.
tition, that thing had been cut and dried,
and the petition sent of before Que tonth Of
of the people who are interested in the Post
Office here knew anything about il that il
was evident that had meeting been called
aud the people Of the township consulted, /,
Mr.. Edgerton's name would never have been
forwarded for the appointment Now |
happen TO know little about the matter
on both sides, and ] know that Lewis
friends sent in n larger petition than did
Edgertou, and know that some of the per-
sons who signed Edgcrtons petition, after
wards went against him, and recommended
Lewis for Post Master Again, Mr. Edger.
ton was not considered by tho community
at largo as resident hero. That he was
temporarily located, no one can deny, but
unless he could got the Post Office he would
not purchase property and remain. This
thing was taken into consideration by the
people here, heuco they concluded that
Whoever was appointed should at least be
permanently located. Mr.. Lewis is perma-
ncntly settled, and is man of business
tact, and man who, had the matter been
fairly started, would have received the sup
port of almost ever citizen Of this township.
We speak what wo know and do know
that the people would never have been sat
ished with the change as contemplated. |
do not propose to spin out long article on
this matter. | do not think Il worth while.
But have few words to say to tho very
able correspondent of IIiggens Ventiiator.
Evidently he is better qualified TO measure
tape than to WELD the pen, from the rich
specimens of his Literary Genius which
appear from timo to time in the Hang.Dog
Countenances paper of perrysburg. A few
moro of his rich productions will eminently
qualify him as an associate editor of the
World. at least we do not think he will
have to back much, If back at all, to gel
where he always has been. Now don't pail
your nose at this for it is already large
enough, and there is no use whining over
spilled milk You know the "Ashleyites
: have knocked Ethan higher than kite
every time and you being considered
. smart, ought to have known better than tC
havo takon him to your bosom to trave
I through this trying time of turmoil ant
trouble. Don't you know that if you hat
. !. only pitched in in time, you could have beel
il toad in the puddle. But you allowed
. yourself to DO influenced by certain sore
heads and GROWERS, who are like the MAJ
:, who imagined he was glass bottle, anC
Y would jump every timo anything rehectol
on him. Now don't jump, but stand still
nor don't kick, because you might get you
foot SO high that you could not get down
u and then by losing your equilibrium, yo'
!, would be prostrated, and being of soft ma
y y teial, you might fiat oat, by which Etha
v would lose an able auxiliary to his hdis
8 pensible and then you know that Abe cal
d ries large amount of cotton with him, an
I, you know that the Government is agains
. that kind of speculation. That's what XII
led Klinls, and as a matter of course woul
4 kill Abe.
