In the last issue of the JOURNAL,
under the head of "a Correction" an
individual subscribing himself "A
Merchant" stacks us for asserting
that we need another general store in
BrOOkvilie. In the first place the wri-
ter Of the article is not o merchant
In the second place he fails to quote
us correctly; and In the third place he
misrepresents the truth slightly He
represents us ~ having asserted that
the present merchants Of BrOOkville
lacked enterprise, which Is not the
fact. He also CUES ON Mt considerable
length rejecting on the city council.
Now We do not propose TO defend the
city council, as that honorable body Is
abundsntly able to defend itself We
wrote the article on the store question
In the interest Of BrOOkville and the
BrOOkville merchants. We have
heard the merchant In whose interest |
the Correction" was written, make |
the assertion that he would like u SEQ
another good store In BrOOkville, aud
believed II would be for the best inter.
est Of BrOOkville. We hear the COM
plant daily made by farmers and 9TH
ers that they cannot get what they |
want In BrOOkvilie. One dry goods |
store. though it be ever sd well stock |
ed, will not satisfy the people land we
have but one ths' Oretends to keep .
general stock. Ii We are in error In
our opinion of the competency of |
BrOOkville to support another general |
store we will venture the assertion |
that nine out Of every ten of the citi-
Gems Of BrOOkville are labOring under |
the same mistake. We are still under /
the impression that there il y good |
opening for another. general store ut |
Brook willie. "A Merchant . Correction"
Ia the contrary notwithstanding, aud /
We say unto him who wants q good |
location for store to come TO Brook
Vile.
Mr.. Bacon, the operator, went east /
the fore part Of the week, and will re-
turn In few weeks with bride, and
take up his residence In BrUOkv vile.
