BELLOWS FALLS BUDGET.


An editorial which appears in the Times
this week is founded on either a misunder-
standing or misstatement Of facts. 1t is
true that The Phoenix has been seeking
subscribers, through IA responsible agent, in
the north part Of the county, and with ex
cellent success but it is not true that the
motive Of this work has been to break
down or iniure any other newspaper It
has been undertaken in pursuance of a long
cherished purpose, and it was undertaken
at this particular time because within the
past year we have been repeatedly urged
| by prominent men in the towns on the
north line of the county to make an effort
to introduce The Phoenix in that section.
| If a consciousness that the Times has not
of late met the local demand in the news
paper field is the cause of the feeling dis
| played by that paper this week. as seems to
be evident, it is something for which we
are not responsible.
The Bellows Falls Times has, or had in
the reputation and life work of its founder
and long time proprietor, such a basis to
build upon as few country newspapers have,
and our best hope for the paper now is to
see it plant itself anew on that basis and
grow up from it, meeting the demands of
the times as they arise
The Phoenix, on its part, aims to cover
completely and well the whole of Windham
county its local and editorial departments
To this end it gives its work and spends its
income freely. 1t seeks cientage to cor
respond with this aim, aud in doing this
there need he no conflict with any other
newspaper.
One particular statement made by the
Times is entirely untrue aud to this one
alone we wish to refer specifically. We
have made no effort, through our agent or
otherwise ~ interfere with the advertising
business Of the Times, and have no wish or
occasion to do 50. No instructions were
given our agent 10 solicit advertisements,
and in only two cases have requests boon
been made to us for advertising rates. In
point of fact the only advertising which we
have received from Bellows Falls is the en-
tirely unsolicited advertisement given The
Phoenix in the Times Of this week.
This statement is made edtorially, and
our local correspondent has no responsible
ty for it whatever -ED. PH,ENIX.
