We do not know who Friend" is, referred
| to and quoted frequently from Terry, but
we do know that if anybody from about Edwards
| ever said or intimated that Terry was out of
| Kinds county, and without the same rights of
Edwards, that he does not represent the views
| or sentiments of anybody about in Edwards,
and would further say in regard 10 " Friend =
| that while we do not know when, where or how
it is claimed, he said what is ascribed 10 him,
that it is our humble opinion that " Fkiend''
resides long way from Edwards, and is de-
sirous of raising in the county a prejudice
against the Edwards community. To Phi Gam
ma Delta We wish TO say, that Edwards intends,
| If permitted, to clasp hands with TeE1y, and in
sist on the county doing the fair thing where
Terry is concerned.
