The G. G. b. S. A. held it's annual

was much less than was anticipated,
and the Co. is in a fair way to survive
another year. We were ag-eeably sur
prised at the assertion that ''the mean
est thing Of all was the singing of mud
through the Courier etc." As this in
fringes on our editorial perqulsltes, we
beg leave of the Courier to rise to a
personal explanation. First, as cores
pendent, all is grist that comes to our
mill, and when we have good chance
for a ''drive" al any one, we care not
whether it be friend or foe. Second,
we have got to learn that truth telling
and mud singing are one and the
same thing, aud further that we ever
made any public criticisms of the di.
rectors of the G.. G. B. S. A.. in the
