and our new editor never unearth thu
hatchet.-Adrian Guardian
All very we'll. Bro. Haislett, but you
ought to speak out squarely and con.
denim the wretch who is to blame for it
all. You know, as every man in the
county knows, that We stood his black
gNardism longer than any other man
would, and that we did much more
than human nature could be expected
to do, to avoid 4 newspaper quarrel
We then registered \ solemn oath that
we would either kill the least through
the ADVANCE or kill him on the street.
We tried the ADVANCE, method first,
which is good deal the safest, and it
has worked like u charm. You brother
editors, who know the history of this
newspaper quarrel, ought not to allow
the beast to steal away from this part
Of the country without a good scoring
all around. And that not to take sides
with us, but for the sake Of legitimate
journalism and common decency
That he was hired by gang of Wor-
Ellington moral assassins to make the
attempt to BLACKBOARD us out of the
county, there is no doubt. They said,
1T won't amount to anything to at
tack the ADVANCE; we have tried that
before; we must make personal black
guard attacks upon the editor and his
private affairs.''
Well, naturally enough, it reacted on
the tool and fool who undertook it.
The band boys forced him out of their
organization, the societies blackballed
him, the railroad company refused him
i pass, and nine-tenths of the commu-
nifty denounced him as a fool and q
blackguard.
AS to the new editor, Mr.. Penn, we
hear that lie is gentleman, a man Of
family, and 4 good journalist. He will
have 10 personal quarrels and will con-
duct his paper on legitimate principles
and methods.
