puny editors Of weakly sheet can rant
and rave, fllme and froth at the mouth
over the actions of a better conducted
and moro reliable journal The ADvER-
TIsER must therefore expect the vicious
attacks from the scurrilous productions Of
the smaller journalists who are unable to
cope with it. This instance referred to
is an example OF the above.
Referrmg-to thAr article in question,
We would Say sthht We never mentioned
the locality that has the distinction Of
harboring the sheet that makes the per-
sonal attack upon us. Yet the people
who do the writing for it seem to think
we did. They seem to be lacking in
faith themselves, even in their owntown,
as their method OF conducting business
would indicate. II they have such ur-
qualified faith in the future Of the town.

So far as the editors, of the Whip.
poorwiH sheet are concerneas. we would
say that young Mr.. Warner. il lie. does
not know anything about tile actions OF
the town lot company, before lie is ten
years older will probably learn. He
has considerable tolearn yet, and before
the close Of the present decade will
discover that great deal smaller lat

oped head. In regard to the junior

if we need or desire any advice as to the
management and policy of the ADyERrIs-
Err we will ask it of someone who has been
a success as newspaper man, and not
Of one who,has ,trieasstw separate and
distinct times to manage paperand each
time made dismal and exceedingly lu-
dicrous failure, with the chances that his
thiriiiattanpt willnp just as disas-
trous. IEisiextrenreIy langhable to read
the gratuitous advice given the people Of
Sturgis, by this posthumous wielder OF
the faber.oRthe Whip-poor-will Picket. II
he had any, sense or correct ideas of con.
sistency he would remember the fact
that the people of'Shrrgis have, to their
sorrow, taken his word too often already.
