We will now try again TO answer
the attacks made upon us by "U. r.
Wright" of the Sterling Gazette, by
stating that we are well aware that he
does not possess Elk county and is not
likely to possess any other. We are
not displeased because lie sends his
locals to other county papers, as they
would not elevate our papers in the
least as two-thirds of your locals a re
printed in an unknown tongue. We
would judge, from your own words,
that you have your little dish-cloth
(The Sterling Gazette) worn thread
bare and are now trying to get the
ADVOCATE in the same pan. Hold on
Mr.. "U. r. Wright before you at
tempt to pass judgment; do you read
the ADVOCATES; Do you subscribe for
it? if not you are as bad as the fox that
said the grapes were sour, before he
had tasted them. You condemn the
ADVOCATE before you know any
thing about it. We will guarantee the
editor will not make such vulgar ex-
pressions, that seem to please you,
such as 1--WE will run the paper or
bust" You will find such in your
dotted paper.
We are very sorry that preaching
was postponed on the day mentioned
by "U. r.. Wright" but must say that
those who were disappointed in
hearing the word preached that
day have a better assurance of a
Savior's welcome, than those like Mr..
"U. r. Wright who reverenced the
Sabbath by attending rooster fight,
We will also inform our learned friend
Mr.. "U. r. Wright" that the key
holder of the day mentioned was a
shingle and we are well aware that
as he was chief engineer in laying out
the boundaries of the hornets nest,
he wanted it for the centre post con-
sequently it could not be on hand.
We must say Mr.. "U. r. Wright"
that yon had the boundaries nicely
laid out, as well as yourself when you
had hard scrabble to scratch the
gravel with both your hands and feet,
when every way. you turned your
head the hornets you would meet.
We take the following from "U.
R. Wright's" writings: expert
ence keeps deer school but fools will
learn in no other" Very good Mr..
"U. R. Wright is there where you
gained yonr knowledge? d. G. 1.

As the small band of broilers
Pass by to other lands.
