The record-union., 1891-09-26

| EDS. RECORD UNION: I am surprised,
as well as greatly hurt in my most deli
cate feelings, when 1 am called on to read,
as I have been called on to read. such
trash as &c. CO. writes to your paper
every onct in while, a scandalizin' and
otherways misrepresenting the noble
/ youths and the fair maidings of Lake
County. Hating. as 1 always do hate, to
be rushing into PRINT, l have forebore as
long as l possibly could, but when after
prayerful consideration and a close
watching of what has been transpirin' in
our mist, l have to my own personal
knowledge unmasked the mask from the
| face of sc. c." and can put my finger on
! him any day, only Tde scorn to pollute
my finger in that manner, and I'll tell
him right here that we have saw many,
| yes, many Lake County boy that is bet
ter looking and more good-manuered
than he is with all his New York society
airs. There now, if you had attended to
your own affairs L wouldn't a tore the
mask ofen you.
It's moron flesh and blood can bare
and bare it meekly,to be sort Of held up
| as it were before the scritinizin' gaze of
the outside world so far removed
from our immediate presents as they
are; to be laughed at and Knocked
at as though we was savages end
didn't know what manners was. It's
kind a erratating. Just take it to your
self, Mr.. Editor; to be held up as we have
saw ourselves held up mot as I've been,
or Mr.. G. G. would a had circus on his
hands II he'd ever have mentioned me by
name or in youendol in reticule for the
| sport of party OF folks that think they're
better n the people that come here am
settled this Owaysis in the mountinps an
made it what it is; and by everybody
that's travelled over the intire globe, by
land and by sea, and saw the ruins of am
shent lands, includin' Jerusalem and
Roam and Greece aud Egypt, theihome
| of the spinkeses, and the cataconAhs and
the pyramids, is pronounced the SWitzer-
land of America, and very property, too,
for it's the most sublimely beautiful, and
just swarming with mineral springs and
healthy climate-even if &c. c." don't
never mention them.
We are plain people, an we don't
never think about style and airs and put
tim on, calling dinner, lunch, and call
ing supper, dinner, like sc. CO. does;
and call ,em by good old-fashloned
names, and call things by their own
names, and that's what &C. c." don't do
when he signs his name sc. CO.
| Pve been in five States myself and
travild some and had orter know if l do
l.
Missouri, and I'm proud to say l was
born in Cooper county, Missouri, and
| I've been in Illynoy sevral tim es. and in
| Arkansaw, and Utah and Nevady and
now Pm in Californy, and / never in alf
my born days ever knowd of a wholS
county bowin itself down irl meekness
| to the like of insultuous communications
! as this long sutfrin people have bowed
down.
Now you only take it to yourself like,
l want to know if Jack haint cot a right
to use a watch and chair 8 moren one
girl, for if a boy has got to buy new one
every time he gifts another sweetheart.
he'll halter 6uy awful cheap watches or
else wear his summer close all winter
Goodness knows I never had watch
when | was girl but one do set off a girl
hanson. But girls is plentier than
watches up here, an l never knowd girl
to be disgraisd by wea ring wach 'twasnt
new.
If &C. c." would pay has bills oftner to
the tailor, and to tile isegreme parlor.
maybe he could weal. a watch of his own
He's too high tonde to sochate with any
but them city girls that comes up hero
every summer, till they goes away, then
he's powerful nice to home girls. 1 lust
CANT bear him and he knows it, he's too
insignitercant to notice. I've told my
two girls II ever | see one of EN- a talking
to him or the like of him, that right
then, and there, in company or out of
company, she'll git slappin she wont
disremelnber ina hurry. And they'll be
shy about doin of it too, for they knows
that don't promise 'thout payin.
l have talked to lots o. folks bout this
thing, and backward, and posed as / am
to Citing into print, after a full confrince
bout it, we was all, and we all still is in
favor of having a stop put to them lettors
of sc. c." in your valuable and much es-
teemed paper, and we unites in this
Nyft hot
will put stop to EN-, and if you don't
we're finally resolved to burn 80. c." Up.
Take dew notice and govern your paper
cordingly. Yours in hopes,
MANDA HIGGINS.
