QUITE NEIGHBoRLY, YOU KNOW,

We had not thought it Of our friend
Ford, of the Giles County Democrat,
that he would glOat over the misfOrt-
une Of "Ouce proud people," or at
tempt by Misrepresentation to add to
the troubles that have come upon
them. Our esteemed contemporary
bellies the honest goodness OF his ma
ture and the kindness of his b cart,
when he turus his pen to ridicule
where he should sympathize, and he
lowers the standard OF his journal aud
reflects upon his own good name,
when he allows hi5 fancy to wander
free and create disasters" aud
gloom" that have not and do not
exist
Columbia has had its "bauk fail
ures and other failures" to-be-suIe,
aud they have cast something or a
gloom over the city, but we see no
reason why this should make glad
our PULASKI neighbors Are they
just little envious sdll, because we
nave "brOad nacadami2ed streets,
fine brick sidewalks, handsome resi-
dences, beautiful lawns aud commo-
dious churches lett? Our "street
railway has been dsclntinued;" are
they mad because Pulaski never had
the enterprise to have one?
Our "Public schools have closed ?n
Not word of truth in that. Mr..
Ford. The County did lose some
school money by the Second Nation
al Bank failure, but little thing
like that does not disturb the free
school system in Maury. 1t might
oe 70 in Giles; not so in Msury. Our
manufacturing enterprise are lan-
guishing?" That is another SANDER,
! AS the railroad shipments for the last
month will show. "The court house
, and public square present very bad
: appearance The public square
does not; the court house does, and
has for long, long time. 1t is not
more dilipidated looking than the
Giles County court house, however
, the only difference is that one has
. trees to hide it, the other has not
They are both u shame upon good
rich counties.
Then our Brother of the quill com
. plains that our public square "has NJ
y fence around it.' The reason is plain
Mr.. Ford; we have not been finished
these thirty years, and we are no
e ready TO fence in yet. Very true W,
= have some houses to rent; we Away,
n keep supply on hand when the Va
e cant ones are filled, we will build
S others; we have no notion of stop
II ping. Fence yourselves in gentle
II men, but give us more room. By
= the-wsy, have you increased a pane
= in that fence for thirty years?
g In regard to the FALCONS, and tn,
d business they do, the editor of tn
h Democrat-by observation and eS
perience-fouud out more in a da,
than the editor of the HERALD ha
o discovered during a twenty year
residence. We will undertake to COZ
y rect him upon one point only. Com
= ing out of one Of these places wher
~ =, he learned upon inquiry therein tbs
" Columbiaus flock 'tO drown thei
- sorrow" he thinks lie saw an
" counted nineteen saloons. Now on
good brother Ford is honest, but OF
." good brother Ford is mistaken; h
was simply 'etng double, that is al
" and we suspect he wrote this il
- natured article before his sight VIZ
=. entirely straight; for whatever othe
" may think of him we know him to |
~ all right, when he is at himself, an
~ now we appeal from Ford drunk
" Ford sObern to make the amend
honorable by doing the proper thin
k, in the future.
