ing us, like our predecessor, which is
Mr. Dunn, to ego West" stating that
"dead-beats stand better chance out
there" Why he should bring Mr..
Dunn's namo into the discussion, and
allude to him as a "dcad-beat," is
something we can't fully comprehend,
unless it is because he has not fully
recovered from the severe "fogging"
which he received from Mr.. d. some
time ago. You make no point in
calling Mr.. Dunn a dead beat, for
there is not man in Forest county
but knows that in morals, honesty,
integrity, and in everything that goes
to make man, he stands as far above
you as Abraham Lincoln did above
JEFF Davis. And if you leave this
country with as clear a record, and
your debts as square as he did you will
surprise your many creditors so COM
pletely that they will be long recov-
ering from the shock.
But the marking business sinks into
nothingness when compared to trick
which be did the other day: Having
heard that his little boy, Byron, had
incidentally let the "cat out the bag"
he called him up, and with horse
whip gave the poor, innocent little
fellow such an uDmerciful whipping
that he carries the stripes yet; and all
because the boy had unconsciousIy
told of his noble sire's dirty tricks.
We ask all honest, fair-thinking cit.
izens to stop and reflect upon this
whole affair - to think that we have a
man in our midst who sets himself up
as a doctor Of medicine, an editor,
aye, who has aspired to the State Leg.
islature, and yet would stoop. so low
as to be guilty of crime which, if
prosecuted, would send him to Allie
gheny.
And now Doc, we are through with
you, and don't propose to have any
further discussion with you; having
exposed your dirty piece of business,
we feel that we have performed the
duty we owe to our readers and the
community, as an editor. You may
now blow your horn as long as you
like; you are guilty, and the people
know it; and your long and windy
articles, as you call them, will avail
you nothing. You may assert over
and over again that we have no brains,
but that will not help your case. If
we have no brains, the people will dis
cover that without your telling them
besides no one would take your word
for it anyway.
And to our readers we would say:
We sincerely crave your pardon for the
space which we have given TO the
affair, which space we feel rightfully
belongs to you; but we felt it our duty
to expose this, as well as all other
crimes and deviltry which may come
under our notice, and thus rid our
town of the stain and discredit which
might have clung to it had we
remained silent.
Before closing however, Doc, as you
have so kindly rendered us your
advise, we feel it our duty as a gentle.
man to rcciprocate, and so we will
return the compliment; First, then,
as you love your scalp, never go West,
for we fear you will stretch hemp as
sure as you do. They hang people
out there for much less things than
you have been guilty Of Secondly,
give up your silly and bad habits, and
turn your attention to tho study of |
your profession; and lastly, pray earn |
estly to your maker and perhaps Ho
will perform the miracle of making a
decent man Of you.
