To m, Editor ~f m, Times:
l dislike to get into q newspaper contro-
versy, but must ask space for the following:
In last weeks TINES some one, under the
nom de plume Of Citizen" has olndiy
suppose from the want Of mental capaci TO
do better, and perhaps puffed up BY bSbg
filed with the praises Of some tinkiing s5rv
boI. become SO conceited as to think that
&C. NJ. Co. has done the present Council IN
Injustice by the statement Of facts, and
acme criticisms which have hefcf5ss-sssse~S
published concerning the town Marchsi.
Such blind folly needs no consideratlon
at the hands Of any person, but when
Citizen resorts to falsehoods to make IN
impression upon the public mind, then ne
ia due enough consideration to be apprised
Of the fact.
In Sundays issue OF inc Stnic ana Green
MILE Ners made some references as TO the
dissatisfaction expressed by many people re-
garding the election Of the present Marshal.
mentioned il as ON item Of news, knowing
full we'll that the Council, as q public body
of officials, were liable aud open to criticisms.
There was complaint and from live busi-
ness men, and prominent citizens, and not
ga few old fogies' as "Citizen' calls them.
| referred to it in a respectful way and no
| person could take offense at what was writ,
ten. ,
am convinced that it was the sentiment
/ of two-thirds of the people OF the town
| that the election Of the pI esent Marshal over
his competitors was an injustice to those
| honest men who have been citizens OF our
| town for many years and taxpayers, and
that they should have received moro con-
sfferat;on fhuu mnu who onfy -Pays his
| street tax, and has nothing at stake, save
his duty aud salary, when either Of the
| other applicants were fully up TO him in
| this respect.
| Citizen says "that he is satisfied that
the youthful correspondent did not write
| the articles referred TO with his own voli-
| ton. hut that he WAS usel as the mouth
piece of few old fogies.'
In reply to this, his only charge agai0So
me. | will say that wrote the articles re-
ferred to of my own volition, and that no
man suggested or dictated anything to me.
"Citzen's" statement that was used as q
mouth piece Of any set of men Is bare
faced falsehooi, aud defy him TO prove his
charge, which is u reheo'io en- my integrity.
10 Citizen" who ever he may be, will
say, take the charge you make against me
to yourself Of being 'mouth-rie of some
set of people," and in the future do not be
such an ignoramus as to be led blindly by
conceit into telling falsehoods for any who
haven't the manhood to speak for them
selves. CLAUDE Nj. GRAHAM.
P.S. will not notice anything further
from Citizen unless he comes out over
his proper name. c. NC.

The Union County Survivors Association
will meet at Union Saturday, July l, 1898.
I's principal business will be to complete
and publish tho rolls, adopt = constitution
and bylaws, and ascertain who and how
many will 60 on an excursion to Virginia this
summer, provided satisfactory arrangement
can be made with the railroad authorities.
The rates will depend greatly upon tho
number going. An excursion will no dou bt
be run on some plan, and it is tho desire of
the Association to provide way by which
the poorest survivor (if he wishes to do so)
can take his sons and friend. and point out
to them those fields where the va'or of
American soldiers has won for itself tho
admiration Of the civilized world.
Let the sacred memories Of the past and
the bright anticipations of tho future prompt
each ono TO do his full duty before his eyes
are closed in death and his lips in sverlnst-
ing silence. JAS. l.. STRAIN,
