EDIfoR IsTELIdaENoER :-I notice
an editorial in last weeks Issue OF
the Mexico ledger ander tire above
csptien,e in winch the young Quill
driver attempts to reflect upon the
dinner at said barbecne.o He says
l"Tbe werd went thatthe Grand Din,
ner was ready This much sought
for dinner was found to consist of
live meat anddead bread with water
which was SO: thick yeu could cut il
with y knife. Why,a penitaniary
dinner would have been more ,ae-
ceptable. 'isg,1a. as.,. Er.-.a 80. r..
Now, Mr.. Editor, you can readily
see that the above is not only an
insult to the good people. Of Cedar
City but to all who bad any part or
lot in getting up said bartacne, 4 z.
Now, let me say that our people
were not aware that the writer OF
the above had been takins: bis din
nors in the penitentiary, but his
own language fully justi6es the con-
cIusion, and that he liked their feed
ing we'll. The reason he did not
like the water is very easy account.
ed %for--there was no whisky in it,
] understand he never drinks
water alone but always takes it we'll
mixed with angle foot whisky and
brown sugar; then it goes down
easy. OF this TACT the b~ar-keepers
of Jefferson City (and doubtless OF
your own town. will fully teatdfy,
and his conduct on return train will
readily prove. We learn that when
the return train whlstled for dali be
ready" this young would.b be editor
was stretched in the pawpaw bushes
unable to rise from the effects of his
Jefferson City trip, and had it not
been for the assistance of two Of his
avowed friends who assisted him TO
the depot, be might have been de-
voured by the live hogs that We're
left at large.
In That case the hogs would have
had more reason to complain than
the writer Of Tho aforementioned ed.
i%torial.
The delegation from Mexico, in
the main, was composed OF her best
citizens, who u people were glad
to meet and welcome. But, it Is
said, in every flock you will find q
black sheep; so We found ia this
case, and the towering, or rather
lowering, editor referred TO proved
to be the black sheep 10 that flock
on that occasion. w would advise
him to learn IL little deeency, COM
mon sense and self respect before he
undertak es to find fault and criticise
other.
If the writer Of the above article
is n proper representative Of the ed
itorIat department ofthe Ledger. we
thus conclude it would be better
suited and located among the Co
manche Indians than in 4 refined
and intelligent community like Mex
leo. -s
The fact il, Mr.. Editor, the bar
becue was pronounced by all, so far
as l know, Except this would be
mighty editor) TO be one al I'm best
they ever attended. There were
over fifty head of mutton and shoats
provided and we'll cooked, and the
bread was OF tho best, baked by one
Of Jefferson City's best bakers -; and
after feeding the vast multitude
there was plenty left untouched,
We have only to refer you to the
Fulton Telegraph, Galloway Gazette
and Peoples Tribune of last weeks
issue, whose editors were there IN
person., and sec what they have to
say about it. We think further COM
ment unnecessary. CITIZEN.
