EDITOR BULLETIN; In your issue of
February oath I see an article from
one ''Mr. Dante" replying rather
holly to my eulogies and encomiums
upon the fattering status and pros
pective outcome of our great metre
polls, fBucksnort.9 From the ne
and style of Daute's reply, I imagine
he somewhat resembles very small
bob-tailed terrier pup, requiring an
immense amount of barking and
growing to convince the public that
he is actually concern" of the dog
species, and would be as ready and
willing to shake the abdominal con-
tents out of Busticuss as he would out
Of long-tailed rat. Well, Mr. Edi-
tor, we do not pretend to say who
this immortal hero, Dante" is, nor
do we care; for, if we said anything we
are sorry for, we are glad of it. Just
listen! He says the magnificent
fishing lake referred to is nothing
but tadpoIe pond at best. o! thou
foul traducer! Ye citizens of Harde-
man! Only come and behold the
gorgeous expapse Of crystal blue
water. as it reflects with its millions of
dazzling mirrors the arching dome of
Heavens gigantic concaye. Only
think for moment how many hun
dred ''bonnie lasses" are daily linger-
ing upon its receding shores, watching
the incoming and Outgoing ships that
bear the immense exchange of i'm
ports and exports that sustain the
grand commercial interests of our
city. Dante, this foul blackguard,
has just returned from his internal
realm-a realm Of which he wrote
ages ago It would be well for him
to return with his sulphur and brim-
stone, If the devil, after all this long
run of ages, has learned him no better
manners than to have the impudence
to arraign a gentleman (of which he,
Dante, possesses none of the charac-
teristics) through the columns of our
worthy county paper. As for our
postofiice, we still claim that it is run
in all the grandeur of It's own origi-
nality; the registry, the money order
department and private Office for the
! postmaster-general, and in fact the
whole concern, is right side up with
care, and adhering strictly to the ff-
teen minute system per week. Dante
| wells and bowls about the clean shirt
business. Well, all Busticuss has to
say about that is, he can prove by two
/ living witnesses and the single rule of
three that the gentleman did have on
a clean shirt Dante says enough of
4 thing is enough, and any more
might make him come 10 tho front.
All right. Let the howllng maniac
come. We are prepared to receive
the perfdious poltroon st any time;
and would further add that the editor
Of the BULLETIN is at liberty to give
fmy private or public name to Efr.
Dante any time he may call for it. As
I said in my first letter, we are a peace
able people down here, and we intend
to have peace if We have to fight from
i Genesis TO Revelation for it. Business
is brisk, and all orders for ginseng
and Persimmons promptly filed. Our
school stiff aourishes, or at least viii
flourish whenever We can get Il teacher
to open and teach it for US.
+ There Is considerable sickness for
our NJ. DIS to look after. Farmers
are making some preparations for
turning the soil. It sill rains every
