MEsTIs EDlToRs:--I hear that some
OF the people around here says what
Jay Bird writes Is untrue, but th ose
people are afraid to say 80 through the
columns Of this paper or any other pa
per, 1t don't make any difference to IN =,
and mention what was untrue, as every
thing Jay Bird says in his letters are
true they shouldn't pass remsrks
on innocent people but pass them on Jay
Bird himself, and they ought to catch
the bird first and talk afterwards, or
talk through the columns OF some pa
per, and l bet Jay Bird will answer
them; but they are afraid to do that
because they know that what he says
is true and they can't deny 1t. When
they catch Jay Bird telling an uptruth
they can put it down in their head as
a lie. But don't put 1t down before he
does, as it is bad policy. haven't got
anything against any body in town ouly
| think some people are too medd lssome
They think they know a great deal
more than they do know, and they are
mere tools in the bands Of higher
class of people, who, when they are
through with them they can go. They
don't want any more to do with them
because they know that If they can be
bought by one they can bs bought By
somebody else. don't mean to say tb at
any Of them have been bought because
should think they had more principle
about them than to sell themselves to
any party at all, 1t is very near time
the thing was coming to focus, for it
is giving the church people bad name
all over the universe, and the innocent
ones are getting as bad name over #
as the ones tha: are doing the mis-
chief, although they are not having a
word to say ia the matter. Bat that is
most always the case, a few ipdividu.
ais does the dirty work and the in.
nocent get the nams OF doing it.
The next thing is the school election.
Some of the people want to run the
school too, 1t is very strange they can=
not leave school ont OF church efsirs,
as the church has nothing to do with the
school. Then why not let it drop, es-
pecially In this case and put in school
board that knows something about the
duty towards the school. The people
canuot better themselves or their chill
dren more than by re-electing the old
board, as they all have children, and
know what should be done for the ben.
eft of the children. Don't for the
world vote for q man who don't take
any interest in children, or who has
emit any children. Mind if you do you
will rae it, then you will have to blame
yourselves for it.
Some of the people around here are
cursing Jay Bird: they'd better mind,
Jay Bird is not asleep all the time and
he will tell some things about them that
they don't think he knows SO
gentlemen advise you to be careful,
as | was forced by so many remarks
made on the subjsct, to do this, and
advise you in time to be careful how
you speak hereafter, aud you needn't
get your backs up about nothing, be.
cause Jay Bird don't care about that as
he is o privileged character. He has
the privilege Of saying what be thinks,
and what he knows TO be facts, as we'll
ss any other man. He don't offer any
money to find out anything, who did
1t. tell you again.
Any person wishing the REPUBLICAN
can be supplied with it by applying to
Miss Alice Ubil's Book Store, as she
always has it on hand every evening,
after mail time.
They have stopped the boys from
loadng on the corners now and the boys
don't like 1t very we'll, as they most
generally have church on Mrs. 6arter's
corner of Sunday evening.
Igive the city people my kind re-
CARDS and best wishes, some OF them
thought l died with the whoopiug
cough Is years ago, but am alive and
auo fit to sing song yet. sing tenor,
do. JAY BlRS.
