We would inform Bro Gould of the Cam
eron Co. Press that acting upon the sug.
gestion in his last issue, We have endeav-
ored TO obtain ''nuss" for Miller whilst
he is teething but can find no one willing to
undertake, the job; in reply to the other
suggestion, M says he don't want to be
kissed by anybody, as he is out of the
business, and don't want his spit curls dis
turbed. But seriously Bro G it don't look
right to see grown up hmp like you abuse
youth like "Bantam" Miller, its too bad,
as much as we need money, and you know
from experience how much hungry edi-
tor does need money, we wouldn't abuse
the boy for bran new fifty cent piece.
