RUTLAND, January 2Oln, 1910.
Editor Rutland Globe II find in the
Herald of this morning the folowingitem :
The congregations OF Rev. Mr.. Williams, Of
West Rutland, and Rev. Mr.. Austin, OF Rutland,
must have smiled If they read, yesterday morn
ing in our reliable contemporaries columns that
the reverend gentleman from West Rutland
morning Mr.. Williams preached in Plttsford
In the morning. and probably occupied his own
pulpit in the evening. In any event he did not
preach for Mr.. Austin.
/ know not and care not whether your
item was correct or incorrect, but / desire
to call your attention to another item pub
lishcd in the same paper, this morning, in
the same column and under the same head.
1t is as follows
Capt. C. NJ. Bliss Will entertain the people OF
Post Roberts, g. A. r., a fuller notice OF which
appears under head OF minor Items"
1t may be news to you and your readers
that Post Roberts is located in Bennington,
or that 'Capt. q. M. Bliss will entertain
the people of Bennington this evening,

slider the correct announcement GLOBE

tened to Mr.. Bliss in Rutland and did not
see any ''people of Bennington" there for
him to "entertain."
And so, the same paper announced in
two places, Monday, the death of "Rolla'
r. Mead, when every intelligent citizen OF
Rutland knows that no such person has re-
Gently died, even if person OF such a
name ever resided here. We presume
from the context, that it was intended to
notice the death of our respected and Ia
mented fellow citizen, Roswell Ro,eleg
Mead. Friday, the same paper announced
in Its editorial columns, ''the death of
Canon Kingsley of London :" whereas he
was then living and did not die until the
Sunday thereafter. might continue these

We beg our correspondents pardon, but
he seems to be one of those well meaning
men who think that they can conduct 6
newspaper better than we can. We con
cede the fact, but nevertheless prefer, al
present, to conduct The GLOBE in our owr
way, not his. But to his question, why We
don't notice these things. We reply, thai
we consider it matter of too little conse
quence; and, even, if we might continue
these extracts, these bulls ad infnitun, az
nauseam," we apprehend that our readers
would not enjoy the reading of news

better matter for our columns, and shall
continue to publish such matter wthou

first stone, or they may attempt to plucl
out the mote in our eye without attending
to the beam in their eye, but we do no
propose to follow them in this harmless
amusement. While thanking our wei
meaning correspondent for crushing to GU

and oil others concerned, that we have TIN
vanity to believe that we can take care o
ourself and that, hereafter, we shall posi-
lively decline TO publish any communica
tions of the nature of the one on which w
are commenting. Apologizing to our read
ers for occupying SO much space relative Il

ject with the hope that our friends viii
not, again, undertake our defense In thi
particular way.
