While the MONITOR is taking the
census Of the larger and better class
of forpoc and forpeo7,c ~ CbOul6 not
forget the very excellent farm of @.
@. King in the east part of the town.
He is one of the best farmers and dali
rymen in this section of the county.
The MONITOR has received several
letters relative to an article which
recently appeared in the Express and
made by the especial correspondent"
to write up the town. The claim is
that the correspondent made some
egregious plumbers and that he DELHI
erately omitted to mention the bust
ness of some, who, for reasons of their
own, did not care to subscribe for or
to renew their subscriptions for the
Express. One man writes that the
offer was made to 'puff" his bushes
if he renewed his subscription. The
man did not renew and was left out
in the cold. Soon after, special cor
respondent wrote up an article for
the MONITOR in which reference was
made to the communication in the
Express. Hereupon the Express
man bounced down upon Doctor
Compbell with some attempted criti-
cisms, claiming that the DR.. wrote up
the MONITOR article. Again in later
issue Mr.. Chaffee made an attempted
thrust at the good doctor, the point
of which is difficult to discover. The
trouble with the thing, SO far as the
criticism on DR.. Campbell was con-
cerned, was the fact that the doctor
had nothing whatever to do with the
MONITOR article. 1t was written by
another person. DR.. Campbel's rep
utation as a physician and citizen is
SANDER of the correspond
ent or the paper.
Sometimes the opposition Of a pa
per is less harmful than it's support.
We quote as an example and illustrate
he authority of the late A. A. Earle,
n his day one the best known editors
n this part of of the State:
AS will be remembered, Mr.. Earle
vas an enemy of Gen. Grout and
ought him for some years "tooth and
nail" When Earle sold out the Express
md Standard to Theophilus circuit, the
present publisher, and a brother of
he General, conversation occurr
I'd in which reference was made to
he influence of the Express, so far as
he General was concerned. Mr.. |
earle, after considering the matter,
emarked, "Well, Theoph, the General
AN stand my OPPOSITION a darned |
light better than he can your sup
'ort." The above may be consola-
ion to such as the Express has left
'ut in the cold world. EDITOR.
