We are aware Of the fact. that in our
town and courty..there are some strong
partisans: Persons who wish paper to
abuse one party and praise another.
Those persons have no use for an in
dependent organ. They have no use
for man who is not democratic or
republican, as Brick Pumroy says. lat
all times and under all circumstances"
So far as the editor Of this paper is con-
cerned he has his political preference :;
but considers it unnecessary to express
them. inasmuch as politics are repre-
sented in the county. 1t is Our purpose
to give the facts, as we learn them con-
cerning both parties. Our readers
shall not be uninlcrmed at to what each
are doing. But to engage in villifying
one and praising another party is what
we propose to avoid. II fair state
ment of facts concerning politics, a
good local paper and square dealing
will satisfy our readers. we are at
their service.
