PoINT PLEASANT, March IS.
Editor Herald:
Farmers are making some show in
the way of crop, but the heavy sleet.
on the night Of the l6 inst. made them
think it was about the middle of
January.
About half the people from Waltons
Creek, to Point Pleasant, were notified
to appear before a magistrate, at a
certain place. for the purpose of set
thing a little difference, between two
men. They worried with the case all
day, and failed to settle it. and set
another day for trial, at which time.
the rest OF the county may expect to
be notified, by summons or otherwise.
But enough of that. and We will now
say something for the editors con-
sideration.
Some time ago as will readily be
remembered. Adonis Signumsqueezy.
and Lancet, were engaged in a
wrangle, and you said as the people
were all getting tired of such stuff, and
the parties concerned, had taken an
equal number of whacks at each other,
you would not admit any more of it,
but would fill the space with more
sensible matter. After that you adj
mited little piece of Mr.. Lancets.
that was very closely connected with
the other so much so, that several
persons speaking of it gave it as their
opinion. that you had gone back on
your word, and intended TO let them
60 head with their muss. or else you
had taken sides and let Lancet have
the last whack, which would have
looked rather strange, unless you had
sold your self out TO the party opposite
to your own. Mr.. Sig considered it
rather beyond what would be manly to
ask more space in your paper on the
same subject, and as Lance was ad-
mitted slightly. We doubt wheter or
not Sig will venture to offer con
tribution on any other subject without
some explanation. Fritz.
In response TO the above we have
to say that we intended no unfairne>s
TO either one of the parties, they are
both our friends, and We esteem them
MS such. Their cutting at each other.
had come down to the level of play
of words. They mad enjoyed an equal
number of spa,s, at each other. and as
our readers were getting tired of it, We
thought best, to stop. Lancet came
back with another reply, and urged it,
Insertion. We positively refused, a.
he will state. Then it was, he wrote
little pleasantly abiding to the
controversy, and wound up with
Doxology, but this contained, no re-
ply to any thing in Sig's last COM
munication, was aimed as a little
humorous farewell, and we never
thought for once, of any one becoming
offended. or ever for a moment sus-
picioning that we had sold out. We
are Democrat, and for Demo
cratic principles, but are not hide
bound, and feel that we can do justice
to both sides in a controversy.
There was no kind Of chance to sell
out, and nothing to sell out in such II
controversy, as the one that was being
carried on between Sig, and Lance. for
it was a controversy, not embracing
any political principles, but was simply
play, on words. We have the war
NEST good feeling for both of them,
and if any thing we have done in this
matter, has been construed so as to ap-
pear unfair to either of them, or any Of
their friends, we sincerely say it was not
so intended, and we ask pardon.
