PuCH Is. Some of the newspapers 0
the State never let an opportunity pass to
say something derogatory OF our town.
Pitch in, gentlemen, we like it. We feel
about as the old woman did who was the
subject OF constant talk among her neigh

talk about her unless they were thinking of
her, and if she was worth thinking about
she thought she must DO OF some account.

abused man in the United States, and al
ways referred to it rs an honor. We think
Lansing has come in for her full share OF
abuse and il has all done her an immense

who have SO often favored our town in this
respect make a note of this. and continue
their iavors.
