One of the ito us) pleasantest feat
ures Of last Saturdays gathering was
the visit of Bro. A. p. Miller, Of the
Advance. We have been here three
years and this was the first time we
ever had an opportunity of showing
him around the little city, and we en-
joyed his visit very much indeed. We
we're told when we came into Mobiles
peace with Miller, but we have found
it exactly the opposite. lie has ever
treated us in a kind and brotherly man
ner-has ever stood ready to do us a
favor when opportunity offered, and
we ask for no better neighh0r or COM
petitor than A. p. Miller. Treat him
as a gentleman and he will do like
wise: step on his corns and he will
kick.-Adrian Guardian.
Thanks. And that's right, Bro. H.,
"tell the truth and shame the (d) evil,''
that same old serpent who has lied to
you and to every other newcomer.
It is true, We have not been to
Adrian since Bro. H. occupied abe
field there. Since the Guardian start.
ed we have never solicited business
from Adrian people or encroached up
<,pn his legitimate territory. though o.
course we wish to retain our old sub
scribers in the west end and shall moi
object to an occasional new one.
Miller & Thompson are taking steps
to provide the citizens of Ellsworth
with q bank. Their success heretofore
should recommend them to Ellsworth
people as just the parties to tie to-
