WHEN pessimistic kicker tries to
engineer a dicker that will drive some
enterprises from our town, it is thought
the proper caper for the local country
paper to give the pessimist a trimming
down. But alas for human weakness,
there's derth of decent meekness in
the makeup of the pessimistic kicker;
and fellow runs a chance, to be taken
by the pants, and bounced as quick as
wink-or mayhap quicker. So all you
people dear, when you get upon your
ear, and want the printer to do all the
''raking," just reflect that bread and
meat, and the comfort of our seat, are
considerations that are very taking;
and we'll never trim the nose from our
face to spite our foes, nor take up with
every notion that comes rambling; but
will do the best we can to deal fairly
by all men, and hold our own midst all
the human scrambling.
