Ceredo advance. [volume] (Ceredo, W. Va.) 1885-1939, 1889-08-21
We Are Compelled TO Notice
Him Once More.

.SguirBe, { News) J, at Wayne G. H.,
has again been at his old tricks
prevaricating; but then as he is
known throughout southern West
Virginia as "the boss liar of Wayne
county," no one who knows him
ever thinks of noticing anything
contained in his sheet. But for fear
some one might accidentally pick
up his paper, not knowing its edi-
tor, VIC deem it the proper thing to
occasionally show up his writings
to the public in their true light.
Last week the deluder copied
paragraph from the ADVANCE
which referred to letter written
by Mr.. w. w. Brumfield,' which
he refused to publish, about which
paragraph he commented at great
length, it taking almost column OF
his valuable (s) space.
In the first place he says:
"Mr. Brumfield's letter was in ex
PLANTATION of his uOte and the publ
cation was not awarded by his vote
Then almost i'll the very next SEN
tence, he says:
"Mr. Brumfeld's letter was in re
ply to the comments o. the Ncrs
on the action of the court, but as the
publication was not awarded by his
vote, the comments Of the Nelcs on
the award of the publication, espe-
cially, did not apply to Mr.. Brum-
field"
We published Mr.. Brumfeld's
letter in full last week, which proves
that he not only explained his own
vote i'll awarding the contract for
publishing the Financial Statement,
but also gave the vote Of the other
members of the court as we'll But
the Ne,cs man says his comments
did not apply to Mr.. Brumlield, es.
pecially. Will the other members
of the court sit quietly down and
not resent such criticisms from such
source,
In the second place the Squirmey
says:
1.-The Neacs did not refuse to re-
turn the letter, but sent it by first
mail after the request was received"
Mr.. Brumfeld says "ho refused
to return the letter at first, Jut IT,
nally did return IT,"
1t will take the people Of Wayne
county but short time to decide
between these two men as to who
told the truth. Besides, as proof
that Mr. B. is correct, the Neacs
of August lst contained an ar
ticie in regard to communication
which was rejected, and which the
correspondent requested returned.
In refusing to return the letter, the
editor spoke of the matter in his
paper, as follows:
This correspondent don't seem
to know thata well conducted office
rarely returns rejected manuscripts,
in fact they are never returned cx-
cept when stamps are sent to prepay
postage. More letters are rejected
than inserted and the office that un-
dertalles TO return them will give
much time and incur much expense,
in a very Improbable business"
No doubt the Brumfeld letter
was the one to which reference was
made.
In the third place he says "ihc
editor of the ADvANcE wrote the
article without any information
on the subject whatever, which is
only following up his lifelong prac-
tice Of representing things which
he knows are untrue. He is falser,
a deceiver IN every respect. Our
informant is one Of the most truth
ful and respected citizens Of the
county, and he is a Democrat, too.
The editor of the Neacs seems to
pride himself because the ADVANCE
is not on his X list; yet we think
it would be more TO his credit to
subscribe for the only reliable pa.
per in Wayne county, than to Dor.
row or steal it every week from one
Of our subscribers. But then Inc
knew that we would not trust him
for even a years subscription, a.
we have already too much unpaid
on our books against him.
The Squirmer man is only origi
nal when it comes to slandering
good, honest citizens, as some Of tn,
best men in his own party will at
test For this reason another Dem
ocratic paper Will shortly be started
in this county.
As regards matrimonial affairs
we assure the Ncios man that tn,
