Remark of IA business man on the

Smut Gatherer and Mischief Maker pub
lish story about any of our citizens
ever so low, ever so false, or ever so Ii
belous, and there are some people who
will either wink at it or call it smart !;
but let the CaledOniaa give plain but
truthful statement of facts, calling men
and things by their right names,
and these same men will express
surprise at such unheard of treatment
and unjust usage" We find it still
makes difference whose OK is gored.
