h IL. and K. to quit their quarrel
1t ing. That was oil right; I for
!. one did not think Of that. NV
e open article, AS X. calls If, was
r written as basis for a series Of
e articles. The grocery alluded
S to was family grocery 10 be put
a up by the Cold Water Grange.
S The notice Of tho artist was
!. purely accidental and was taken
r from KS own report. / don't
: know the gentleman personally,
/ but | am told he is a man right.
| have never written but one
! reply to KS insinuations and if
) l had known then what | know
, now, | would have paid 10 at
tention to his foolishness and
attended to my own business.
, Now, Mr.. Editor, l ask your
pardon for intruding on your
good nature. / promise you
that Kennebec nor no other can
turn me aside from what l con-
slider to be my duty. The Cold
Water Grange has labors album
dant. The social system, their
a3ricultur and citizenship, with
a full Improvement of the mind,
is their principal labors. All,
all is for the moral Improvement
Of the intellectual man, no ag-
gresslon or war on any honest
profession or calling. We rec
ognlze the fact that the demands
OF society or community will
soon bring in q supply Of hon
esty OF purpose. Honest labor,
honest dealings, pay as you go,
keep out of debt, avoid litiga-
ton, serve our country truth
fully and fearlessly, visit the
sick in their afflictions-these
are some Of the labors of the p.
of ii. The benefits derived /
from the association are purely
incidental. The Patrons are.
Or should be, farmers. Hence T
an improvement in their calling
demands their principal atten- {
ton. You can see its effect for
the last few years. The man l
ner of farming has undergone a
vast change for the better, agrl- Y
cultural papers have been in de-
mand; farmers have got to read L
ing and thinking, and Of course
acting; all around is activity.
We think that all men of what Y
ever calling shonld rejoice and
DC glad in view of this fact hi
The subject of the State debt
s talked of a great deal. The
question is often asked what & "
bout the State debt, what's the :,
people going to DO about it, &C.? Ii
Now, Mr.. Editor, so far as l CT
IAN learn, the people of Cold y
" alter arc DESTROYS of settling ~
hat matter by paying the mon
Us obtained Of the bondholders 81
nth interest, and no more. We VI
re not in favor of reputation. Vi
here is one thing certain and Lao
ure, a great many people are M
gnorant of what the State debt
:, or what the bonds arc. The vi
ature of the question, it seems Ma
me, requires a full exposition. St
the people are in debt, they i-o
Mould know the nature Of that
ebt. Some folks talk ana act
if they thought the State was ha'
nc thing and the people anoth- ito
;. hope this financial trouble frot
Ill learn our Legislators and !; ;,
eople some sense. 1t is an ca -
thing to get in debt but me
Sc!ly hard one to get out. :.
Cold Water people are in gen eli
al good nCalth. There is al
lys some person s;ling in the Mas
ost healthy locality. Miss b b.

b. Bryan's family, one of 2o4

lere is some talk of hog chol- Ter 3
