thing coming as forcibly home as
it does, cannot but feel that it is
my privilege to write Il few words
in reply If it was your poor humble
servant subscribed below to whom
you referred when you say chad not
manhood enough to send his com
nunication strait to the SIGNAL,
permit me 80 inform you of this fact,
that dill write an article for public
alton ia reply to your "A few Facts,
which facts were allow me to say,
more misrepresentation than facts,
which is ut present before me in my
desk. 1t was also written to lee
printed in the SIG NAL, but at the last
moment did my courage fail me?
Mr.. Editor | could almost weep that
you did rot know me better. Why
therefore, you ask, did you not send
it, I will tell you why Simply
because your paper has lately been so
filed with so called communication
on town fights, Court house locations
and sand banks, material things which
do actually exist, that why should We.
borrow trouble from an immagInary
school house fence, that which is not
but is to be 1t was Therefore that |
pigeon, holed my communication, and
so it has thus shared the fate of many
other works of far ADLER writer's than
| can ever hope to become. 1t will
never kiss the printers ink
Would it not have been in better
taste Mr. Editor had you, instead at
jumping at conclusions, waited until
my letter was made public in the
Leader than attack an article which
will never be printed Did you not,
in your eagerness, over reach your
self, and does not the recoil made
you the more ridiculous? the laughing
stock OF your patrons?
Or, on the other hand, perchance
was you afraid that | would not
answer an that you would hound
me on until | did?
| am sorry, Mr. + liter, that YOU
We're disappointed in not receiving
my article, but after making the crack
which you did We're you not still more
disappointed when my article was not
printed in the Leader.
As you are bent on having them,
allow me to say a few words regarding
this fence which Seems to me To he
your bone of contention. A certain
amount of mon ey has been raised fer
purpose of building said fence which
is at present in the hands of the
committee, and as for every cent you
|, or any one else put into that self
same fund we got value received.
For every quarter of dollar received |
a strict account has been held. Under |
these circumstances we do not feel |
under any obligation to keep you fully
posted on minor details, unless if is
worth your while, having spent your
m oney with us, to come forward in 81
manly way and ask us what has be-
come of this money instead of strik-
ing at us over some one else's should |
ers, and when we still do not answer
call us poor timid things. Allow me
to say, Mr.. Eitdor, when you as an
individual as a patron of any enter
which we may have giv en-
will come to :us. you can get any
Information you may desire, and the
same privilege with an invitation to
do SO is extended to any other patrons
OF same. We have not for puhli-
cation at present, nor do | presume
that we will have at any near future
date, any detailed account of GROSS
receipts expenses and net profits
But permit me to assure YOU that nj
the proper time, when in the opinion
OF the committe the time is expedieat
all money we may raise will be donated
by us for purpose for which ii was
raised. We worked and earned tho
money giving you, as | said before
vaine received, therefore we feel that
we have the right to say when and
where, only feeling in honor bound
to see that it is used solely for said
purpose Till that time, Au revojr
