Kate Fairplay.n The writer might

adopt nom de plume, for there il but
one person in tiraylIng, Mr.. Editor,
who couh and W0,iM degrade himself
SO low in the human scales of degrade
tion as 10 pen such lines for pubiica-
ton. We all know--those Of US who
have lived here for any time that his
store is the point from whence all vul-
gar street gossip issues and j. taken up
and repeated 10y tle hoodlumls of his
clique who, 10y the way, thank God,
are like hens teeth-fpw and far be.
tweeni and. indeed. so great is his
love for the getting.up of malicious
stories for the defamation of Others
characters, that he lets not day pass
if IL strange person chance TO enter his
"shebang' for the purpose of making
q few purchases, he will immediately
buttonhole him and proceed 10

Mr.. Editor, in tine sense of the
word, we admit that the young ladies
who managed the dance to which FOui

Us long enough for us to learn and
know they are young ladies of respect

pupils. gives general good satisfac tion.
and by her amiable and lady-like ways
has won hosts of friends and hereby
publicly assert that there is but one
family III all Grayling who know eugllt

that is The family of Mr.. -" Kate Foul
