Some Of the readers of a certain
country paper were indignant, and
others were mortified at reading in
it's columns last Saturday morning,
the unjust and uncalled for structures
on two of the speakers at the late lnstalla-
ton in Castleton. The impression is that
the criticism came with i'll grace and bad
taste from the author who is 90 faulty both
in speaking in public and writing for the
press. The worthy men whom he insulted
have hosts of friends in this vicinity, and
their reputation will not suffer much by
reason of his attack upon them.
