OCTOBER y, ~.
Ed. Big SANDY NEWS 81 desire
to say a few words through your
most valuable paper in reply TO an
article when appeared in the Lou
lisa Picket Of Oct. Is. This article
was headed Gicuwood, signed
apemocmt,n stating that he was u
citizen Of Glenweod and a good
Democrat. Now, don't believe
this lark resides at Glohwood and
I know he is no Democrat, for there
is not Democrat in the vicinity OF
Glenwood so sapheaded as to at
tempt to write any such absurd
stuff.
lie first states that he would not
say anything concerning the affair
of sherman Wheeler if Il. G. Me
Clurc was not so wrongfully accus-
ed. This is not true the story has
not one.h half been told as TO Mr.
McClure's action in the Sherman
Wheeler case.
With due respect to Mr.. Wheeler
as a gentleman, and one who is be,
| liked by the people as a gentleman
but not as a teacher in district No
IS, | do think this dumb-head call
ing himselfa Democrat has done
Mr.. Wheeler an injustice to stir vi
such stuG. But truth is mighty
and will prevail.
As TO Sherman Wheeler being
qualified teacher whom he taught q
IGlenwood, there is considerable,
doubt about it. Now, if you wan
proof of this assertion jump IN,
and | can show that | will not hav
TO go any further than the Hon, L
lC. Mcclure to prove it, for when MI
| Mcclure visited Mr.. Wheeler
school he told Wesley Webb t
take his daughter Miss SOphronia
from school, for she was furthe
advanced than Mr.. Wheeler; an,
that when he granted him a certiii
cate he did not merit one, and onl,
granted him one because ther
was lack of teachers in the coun
lty. Is this the kind Of man 70
County Judge?
As to Mr., Wheeler's qualification
he felt his inability. He knew h
was weak, for one day he stoppe
into the postofiice to drop Mr.. III
Clure card and asked the posi-
master, Mr., Wesley Webb, to writ
: it for him. Poor boy, he knew h
could not write a hand that woul
please the flashy eye Of the Sup
J Mr.. Webb responded, "Write YOU
, self, Wheeler" He said, 81 wouldn
care to write if Crooks wasn't 5
foppish and proud"

and he can tell you what NJ

, key to the arithmetic.
One more circumstance

best clothes, perhaps about $6i
suit, and his brogan shoes (all
