.Gor MAD.-Pipes,of the Benton Leader,
[ got mad because the DEMocRAr spoke of
his In (our type read un) exhaustible arti-
eles on the Agricultural College and off the
fact that he would probably be writing on
the same subject twenty years hence.
Really we didn't intend any offense but
some people In this world will get frustrat-
ed II you put pin in their chair. We
didn't do that mush. We have never In
terfered In the matter because Il was a
Benton county affair, not from lack Of
interest ia the College because some of our
brightest men here were educated there,
and we hope to see Il placed on solid
footing. Hold your temper, Brother Pipes,
aud don't get mad at little pleasantly.
We appreciate your efforts In behalf OF the
College, and II any one ever advocated a
cause from Alpha to Omegait is Mr.Pipes
of the Leader, aud we admire the ability
and perseverance and grit displayed by
him. Now do keep your hat off, and well
take II all back.

petitions against the appointment of Nash,
