DIRT.

- |
Tbs man-not-a afraid to-eat-dirt-to-
get-favor, of the Fulton Gazette, scat
tered his brains( ?)oser column ofhis
valuable peoples paper" last week
in regard to what we had to say about
the Oliver tragedy at Cedar City. We
are accused again of being bitter to-
toward Galloway county. Now Mr..
'sFew Clothes" you are making fool
of yourself when you keep harping on
that point all the time, for you know
as well as the majority of the sensible
people( excuse us for CHASING you with
the rest of the sensible people, that
we have nothing against Galloway
county in the world, in fact, it il
evident that we think more Of Gala
way county than We do Of any other
county or State in the Union. All the
trouble lies with you. Every time we
say anything about Galloway you just
like a lot of sore heads, fly of and
try to annihilate Us with a long wind
ed editorial. We said nothing bitter
about the Oliver affair at all. Why
don't you turn yourself loose on the
Sedalia papers, they know how to
handle your devilments. Because you
made a few subscribers in the Berry
affair you are willing to eat dirt again,
but you missed your guage this time,
you have not w popular opinion
with you. Instead of trying to throw
dirt at US, why don't you pitch into the
Fulton Enterprise, that paper come
out and said boldly what you feared
to say, you knew popular favor was
with yon, and yet, you feared to come
out for fear you would loose two or
three of your supporters at Cellar.
Talk about our being bitter, why
don't you tell your readers that there
was but one white man at the murder
ed mans burial. Why don't you
tell them that strange woman had to
assist in lowering him into the grave
while his murderer was turned on the
public on an $500 bond, and that
worthless, as it was given on Sunday.
Why don't you tell your readers such
things as these and make them asham-
ed of themselves. You would do
your duty then and nothing more
than your duty. We did
not take up our pencil to allude to
Galloway county, but simply to tell
the gentlemen of the Gazette that
they lied when they said no promi-
nent citizen of Hollis Summit told us
that the press of Galloway, had not
nerve enough to condemn the wrong
and hold up for the light. Now Mr..
Gazette, we have a letter from that
man on our desk at this writing aud
he says that his prophesy came true as
far a you were concerned at least.
For reasons known to ourselves and
which concern you not in the least,
we refuse to give you that mans
name. If you don't like it juse come
out and say We can'td do it, il that
will releave your pent up feelings. By
the way M of the editors Of the
Gazette sat on the bench and wher
Oliver was Brought before him las
week he said. Wherefore bringes'
thou him before me, / have no juris
diction over him, and command the.
at onc to take him before the count,
court" So you had no Jurisdiction
over him, and yet, you send him be
fore the county court, well, tina
sounds just like you.
You have been a grand failure eve
since you was first born in the city @
Concord, and this is the best we coul,
expect of you, but we don't care t
, waste words with q man that is nc
responsible for what he says, and is
J mere machine to be wound up ever
morning. All we have to say is, mex
time you have to refer to us, pleas
don't dispute our word all che wa
} through your article, if you do, "
will have to make saul krout out
c your cabbage head.
"a man who dares traducs becaus
Y he can
!, With safety to himself, lie not
man."
