about column in the last number of
the KiOwa Herald to TRADE of abuse
directed at the BARBER COUNTY INDEX
the only democratic newspaper in Bar
Der county. The writer charges that
this paper has been the means of losing
the county to the democracy, with
''bossism," with opposing everything
ever proposed for the best interests of
the county, and dozen other sins that
we are certain our readers do not think
us guilty of. We feel 80 we'll establish
ed as democrats and citizens of Barber
county, that any abuse from creatures
OF the Hickory Face kind are con-
sidered as compliments. This paper
has existed and prospered for ten years,
much against the wishes of Hickory
Face and few of his kind; we have
been honest and consistent, made mon
ey, paid our debts, built our homes and
worked faithfully for the community
that supported us; we haYe taken an
active interest in politics and on more
than one occasion have been instrument
tai In frustrating the designs and wish
es of men who trained with Hickory
Face" We expect to remain here and
take an interest in politics for many
years yet, and if Hickory Face" is
smart, he will watch our course atten-
lively and then support only such men
and measures as we do, and he will not
so often appear ridiculous and he will
never again show such evidences of in
digestion and bellyache as was plainly
evidenced in the mass of contemplate,
valueless, unnecessary and undignified
misstatements that appeared over the
meaningless signature of Hickory
Face ,,
