Welda Farmer Comes Again.

of the | 200 that is going to vote tn
Peoples ticket. We protest against tn
farmers going into politics and takin!
separate political action We protes
against man signing himself "Weld'
Farmer who never plOwcd furrow.-
[Garnett Plaindealer.
Exactly, Mr. Plaindealer 1t woult
be strange if your Welda correspondent
shouldn't protest against such high
handed proceedings; and when you say
Welda Farmer never plowed furrow
YOU told the truth for once; and vii
give you due credit; and as Yields
Farmer is caught, he will not try tt
wiggle out like the Plaindealer's Weld:
correspondent did, and try to hide hif
identity, but will respectfully remark
that he (WeIda Farmer) don't have to
blow furrOw. | will also say that, now
am more than ever convinced that
caught the right fellow, Notwithstanding
your denial.
Now, in regard to my right to sign
myself Welda Farmer, l will say that
have been on farm for eighteen years,
and made it my principal occupation,
and rely entirely for living upon what
l produce upon my farm; and AS | have
been blessed with pretty good boys, who
pillow my burrows for me, you see don't
have to unless have mind TO.
am not in the position of Welda cor
respondent and so-called farmer, who
has been hunting Office ever since he was
old enough to shout, "DOwn with the
liquor saloon!' or'"Three cheers for the
2. o. p. !'-just as his chances appeared
the most favorable, either in the Prohi-
bitIon or Republican ranks; and when
he gets left, hunts school to teach,
which is the next best thing to tide him
over and make up for his lack of farm
ing experience.
shall continue to sign myself WelCa
Farmer, notwithstanding your protest.
Again: The Plaindealer denies that
Welda correspondent gave the informa-
tiOu dOOuU AiOANuUSi' 4NV"s Nv
NAV not have furnished all the points,
but | am satisfied he gave enough to
have the slanderOuS article manufactured,
and it answered all practical purposes;
and if Welda correspondent will vOlun-
tecr to tell the Plaindealer that Welda
Farmer never plOwed a furrOw (Which
ought to condemn him at Once) he will
tell other foolish little things, which do
not injure the parties attacked. but act
AS a boomerang; and the recoil is hurt
ing. AS we can plainly see. Now, as
Welda correspondent denies being into
the business, and as the Piaindealer says
it likes 10 see friend Turrell and Welda
Farmer squirm under the lash. very
good; but it strikes us very fOrcibly that
some others are doing some squirming.
BUT, / do not wish to do an injustice
TO any one, and if have accused the
wrong fellow, wish to beg his pardon.
But | would like to tell little story
about fish:
In and about New York harbor there
is certain kind of fish that is very All
moving 10 fishermen. 1t is kind of WA
ter scavenger, and is continually nOsing
around into the holes and crevices among
the rocks, hunting grub; and when Il
fishing party starts out on a fishing eX-
cursiOn, the first thing they do when
they get upon the fishing grounds is to
find out whether this fish is about. for
they can get very little satisfaction in
fishing if tins particular fish is in the
neighborhood; SO the first thing they do
is 10 bait the biggest hook they have
with extra bait; and if this particular
fish is about, you will generally catch
him at once. rs it is "a kind of fish that
