the bitter and savage assault made up
Oh you in the last Journal On account
Of your religion, permit me to say 4
word by way Of a suggestion. AS you
are assailed in Il coarse and brutal man
ner because YOU do not believe as the
reverend editor does, why not seize the
opportunity he furnished you to show
him to the public mind as he is. You
We're no doubt cogniZant of his connec-
ton with the Miller Hall affairs, such
us the stealings, the mobbing of an Of
flee in the absence OF it's owner. and the
burning Of the building. You must
have the facts to show t'1at lie is a
fraud and moral coward. As he is
descending to the vi}pst depths to rs
sail you upon your religion, hope you
will not spare him bat show him to the
public as he is. Take the lion 5 skin
from this ASS and you will your read
ers IL favor. Town JAKE.
Tile journal last week devoted about
three columns out of the five or six
which it runs to personal attacks u,on
the editor OF the ADVANCE. They
were not attacks upon tie paper, but
rerso'.al attacks upon the editor. This
stt ms to be the style Of its prtacEcr-cd-
ltor. Whenever we criticize any OF he
acts Of ring officials, Oyle says: You
was kicked out Of church,. - you had a
skunk hung on your <!oor,'' "you had
dead dog laid 1T your door, just SO.
And Ogle'S "friensls' did it. Osle
smiled and held their clothes willie llcy
sailed i'll and stoned Stephen.
Up to date we have not m;l,le person
al attacks upon Oy|r. We lave cl;li-
ciZed county officials and their acts, aid
OSle, under the plea Of defending his
''lritnds,'' us made personal attacks
upon us. Hereafter, ho viewer, VIC pro-
pose to fight the devil with fire. Beg
pardon, we should have said that we
propose to show up tie wolf in s|lccp's
clothing. Beg pardon again, We mean
that when we are dealing with saint
we shall do as the saint does.
Tom Gruelle was MiIler's "devil,' -
and inherited all the grlccS of his name
Sake. Strengthened in his evil dis,.usl-
ton Ivy {: little ''beef slough tea,' Tom
purlolned tie hated communication,
and turned it over to one of Miller's de-
voted adnirers.-Dan Rohrer in last
weeks Journal.
In other words, Rollrer hired the
SNEAK, Gruelle, who was gle's Assist
ant Sunday School Superintendent, to
purloin communication written to
the ADVANCE by the wife of clergy
man, and to assert that we wrote the
communication ourself. Rohrer also
got Tom Gruelle into the scrape which
drove him out of Worthiuyton, and
now he has the ineffable m"anness to
''peach' OH his ''pard." A precious
pair they are.
Bro. Miller. Of the Northington AD-
VANCE has just closed volume eight Of
his excellent paper. Mr. NJ. is an able
and fearless writer, and is never afla id
to strike the nail on the head, even
though the more timid populace shud
der. The ADVANCE has put down and
exposed many forms of fraud. He Says:
"With our office paid for and laying up
money; with no debts hanging over lis;
with the majority Of the people of the
county firm friends Of the paper, and
with an influence Of which any county
newspaper might we'll be proud, we can
afford to be more 'sassy'' and more
firm in the right than ever. .''-Sioux

Ogle is not 4 success us an editor
The only life he infuses into his paper
