We contracted for only one-half Of the
opposition organ last week-the balance
was gratuitous. We have no desire to
enter into a lengthy warfare of words
with men who are mentally irresponsible
at times. and if the conductors of the
above sheet derive any comfort from their
last issue, we do not feel that we have
any cause Of complaint.
In a communication published else
where in this paper we have left it for
one of the members of the Teachers Insti-
tute held here last week, to speak for
himself both regarding the success at
tending the institute in a social and ed
vocational point of view, and the courtesy
and hospitality extended to the teachers
convened on the occasion. We have no
doubt the writer expresses fully the true
sentiments of all who participated in this
most successful gathering of teachers.
We would have our citizens bear in
mind that the REPUBLICAN office is at
their service for all meetings or gather
ings of a public character. The front
room of the office is large and has seat
ing capacity for good sized gathering.
The room will be lighted, warmed and
put in readiness on short notice, free of
expense for the promotion of objects Of a
public nature. We trust that the citizens
of Watertown will accept our "hospitali-
ty'' on occasions above referred to.
