Hall ReD0rter-makeS % feeble attempt
to reply to the castigation the JOUR-
NAL gave it the other week--and such
n reply If we could do no better we
would to-day sell out, quit The business
and 90 to choppinG wood at some fur
mace. F4eddy would gladly have back
ed out Of the fight with the JOURNAL
which he provoked and began after we
gave him just few slight biaZes-hence
| his silence for two weeks -6at we will
not permit him to any such thing. In
stead of low, covert attacks and insin-
uations at irregular intervals, ld Re
porter, we propose to settle our differ
ences with him by u fair, open and con-
tinuous controversy, If it taxes all win
ter. We want the dirty JOB over as
soon as possible and for all time. We
hav ethe necessary data in proiusion TO
to show him up in his true light, have
paper, pencils and ether tt cdeterdS at
hand and are ready for the fray. So

lay on, McnuE,

and its "portly" editor. This much
We deem fit TO say, both intro
ductory and as an apology due our
readers for taking mp so much space,
using SO much valuable ammunition on
such small game. Understand We

and vindicate the truth, for public

Freddy starts out last week by class
ing his Reporter with the "Noe York
Herald aud the like" Now We admit
that he las just as clear d right to
make fool of himself If he Wishes-and
he does it herein most effectually-as
anyone else. But when he says that We
are "clean out-o-sorts" because he does
not compliment us, he commits the
same sin for which Ananias and Sap
phira were struck dead, We asked no
compliments from the Reporter, only a
little truth and justice, without hOWev-
er expecting to get even that.
Some praises censtre,
Some censures DrdiSe."
The Reporter is mad over what it
calls the sausage literature" of the
JOURNAL, says We are continually beg
gimg and intimates that our oyerSeers
don't perform their duties toward US.
Fine, classic, "angssuchte" sentences,
truly High, noble philanthropy in
deed But never mind the oyerseers,
Freddy. Don't bother as to whether
we have anything to live. The mer-
camille rating of both firms of which
we are member IL as good as yours.
We paw out a6 much 10 employees and
otherwise i'll one year as you do in two. |
Our reputation and credit wherever
known is fully equal to yours. That's
all. And what you call one "cCntin-
ued begging" is u5thing more than our
peculiar style Of returning compliments
for little kindnesseS occasionally receiV-
ed-a style So popular with our readers
but TO you il is the sour grapes which
you can not reach. In all our sausage
literature" we never offered premium
on RoQg;StneSS rs you once did, when
you proposed to ssHe the Reporter one
year gratis to the fellow who could eat
lin good German it is called frcSSen) the
the longest sausage.
Freddy says we are no printer and
therefore no proper judge in newspaper
matters. True, We are no printer, but
the JOURNAL oGice has a printer 10 the
person Of our partner, Mr. Bumiller,
VINO can knock the spots from Freddy
KurtZ any day, either in 5ob work or in
Che mahe up of \ plDor. Taese are fro
zen JdctS on this point, and no one
knows it better than Mr.. knrlz
Regarding Freddy's intimAtion that
we are "jAck-af-all-trades" we have
only to say that he might apply the
term with much more pr0priety to him
self than to US. We are only partner
in the marble business, in tho Jour-
NAL Office and in little book store,
while he runs 4 farm, mighty big
printing house with 1.-THE largest paper
in the county" and w ater company
all himSelf-Lhe latter to tke vexation
of the citizens of Centre III all The
time was when Freddy, in partnership
with certain Ex-Sheriff and a certain
Ex- x-CommssOner ayeu ran the whole
county, but thGt firm was dissolved for
the good Of ths peop! e-rOt by mutual
consent--but by the Ii initiation Of law,
littls over year ago, just in time to
save the county from being lun into
| the ground entirely.
We must break off abruptly. More
