New CASTLE. July IL.

Rioa60 4tat0 IN the NEPuBLICAN Tor
me, said Robert Shaw. dealer In gents
furnishing Ro0dA cigars and tobacoo,
last evening, that SO far a. my store
10 concerned. that the article which
appeared In an afternoon paper on
Monday is untrue. j never was mott.
fed not to sell cigars ON Sunday, 1
never did want to open on Sunday,
and now that the church people have
inaugurated q war against Sunday
trading, am determined that would
not Interfere with their intentions.
certainly do object against the
way that the reporter of that news
paper stated the situation. Truth
never hurts business man, but lies
always make man feel In an unpieas
ant mood. Furthermore, now that
the Sunday law Ia to be enforced
hope to see the gang which congre-
gates on the corner every Sunday
preventel from lounging there.
Complaint after complaint has been
made Of this.corner by ladies who pass
there on Sunday,on account OF remarks
which the young men make about
them as they pass.
The REPuBL1oAN reporter, however,
does not care how many stand on that
or any other corner us they do not In
terfere with him.

vim which did him good deal OF
credit. At tho conclusion OF the ar.
