The Forsyth Times this week is full
OF comfy division" and abuse of the
YELLowsToNE JOURNAL for its recent
exposure of the campaign lies and de
ception put up bv the conspritors. The
Times is OF the opinion that the JoUE-
NAL has about written itself out on this
subject, but IN this il is very much mis-,
taken. There is plenty more TO say and
very many more important points to be
brought to the notice Of the taxpayers
OF this county, all OF which will receive
due attention. lf the Times would get
somebody on its editorial staff who
understood the use of the english Ian
guage and the more recent methods of
journalism. it would be more effective
organ for the conspirators. Its present
style is at least tnird of a century be-
hind the times.

They fill out vacant places at table and
are very useful when theater parties
