rhe editor of the Journal accuses
a.. Of filschood in the matter above
stated. The trouble with him is
chat he does not recognize his own
.,atcments, and seeing them in an.
o,her journal than his own he Is
,,ody to pronounce them false
". shall not debate that question
f,rther thon t, show that the state
mcnts are his own, and then if he
l,,oses to declare them false we
shall not object. II we cannot con.
Wet him out of his own mouth we
will let the matter rest where he
puts it
We will in the first place quote
from notice which appears weekly
j, the Journal, headed $40 Adver
tscrs,' in which appears the follow
ING:
The Vermont Journal has nearly twenty-five
lundrcd subscribers in Windsor County, and
nearly one thousand in Orange County.
We have from five hundred to one thousand
disorders in the vicinity of each OF the follow.
.ng towns: bradford, Chelsea, West Rap-
lolph, These numbers are from actual
count.
1t will be seen from the above
that by actual count" the Journal
has "nearly one thou sand sub
Scribcrs in Orange County" Per,
maps some astute mathematician
NAV also discover how. out of less
than 1000 subscribers in the coun-
~. it figures up, ''by actual count"
from 800 to 1000 in the vicinitN Of
each of tho towns OF bradford,
chelsea and Randolph. We put
that alongside Josh Billings PROB
lem. VIZ: ) into q how many times,
aud how much over. We sup.
nose every one lfercabouts knows
that the J0uraal mas two editions
for Orange County, one dated ut
BRADFORD, and the other ut West
Randolph, and according TO the
.-atrments Of the JouynaL quoted
$50. aud other statements which

e. as.s. past. claiming about !

poluo,4 -. This county and part OF
Grafton Co. n. H. the Bradford
edition must have from 400 to 800 !
subscribers, provided the JoWndi
tells the truth about the matter.
We know positively that advert!s'
Frs in this section have had bills
them for payment for
: advertising in the Bradford edl-
ion' of the Journal which were
twice as high as NC charge tor our
of 1900. And the ad
yertisers supposed they were get
ting a big circulation in the Jour-
adl
We take the statement OF the
publisher of the JOWadl as 1t ap'
peared in the bills for advertising
hat the advertisements were in
serted IN the Bradford edition only,
and we also take his own state
nent as to the number of his sub
sCrlbers in the Bradford edition.
And now, in his last issue, he says
t is well known that he inserts ad
tertisements in from 1900 to 2O0O
,opies i'll this section each week
Now all these statements of the
Jomnars cannot be true, because
hey contradict each other,
We are willing to let the public
udge of what is true and what is
aSe in them; but the talsehoodS ,
Ire chickens which go home to the ;
Journals roost. We have not in
ended to misstate anything i'll re- ,,
,ard to the Journal or its publish
r. Our former article was intend
d to show up his attempt to OBJ
ain advertising from this section
y privately disappearing our =.
He ''scOrns to reply" ,
} that point! Silence is the best t
olicy for him on that subject. c
We entered upon this subject be- i
ause we deemed it but justice to
and to advertisers i'll this a
nction that this hydra headed Q
Windsor advertising humbug should !
c shown up in its true colors. !
