Well friend Argus. you cen to think
I have ''sined against myself and
my neighbors, and deserve abuse
for some things l have said" Do you
not think that you have abused me more.
we're I the personyou take mt to be? l am
proud of one thing if nothing more, that
my creator is higher than . newspaper.
10 all you have said and misrepresented
10 this matter, you seem to have forgot
ton this principle Bis peocase IN beuo non
liicet, Of 10 plain english, to bIunder twice
is not allowed 10 war. Yet with all your
blunders you still show fight. aud at last
make . stand by the comparison Of Webs
ter county's financial condition with
Adams and Buffalo counties. Will you
through the.columns Of your paper
give its few readers the history Of Buffalo
financial standing, that the
may know just how a county gets
into . bankrupt condition? And also tell
The people what . claim or IN account
Webster county is worth at the
time? Your comparison is rather
and shows bad upon the face Of it.
Why did you not make the comparison
With Gage, Jefferson, Thayer, Nuckolls,
Harlin and Furnace counties?
don't cover up but uncover. tell
Us Why you made the comparison you did?
Now friend Argus with oil the personal
lbuse and vulgar slang that . newspaper
could belch forth from the pen Of its edi-
Tor, you have tried to heap upon one as
you supposed to be the writer. for oil that
[ can forgive You, and here Is my ~,
that your soul may be blessed
from on high BY the al wise. the al good,
lud the al divine. and in his goodness
make you . wiser if not . better mau
