HIS POSITION UNKNOWN.

lii" TYPE setter nf The Long Primer IiMp
Mower. OF bourbon. Exercised Over
the Political Position a. the lnsic-
pendent.
For some time past. this man Carter
OF the Long Primer Lawn Mower. at
Bourbon, has been endeavoring To inG
some excuse to jump with both feet on
the DAILY INDEPENDENT Now we
are fully aware that this inclination did
not originate in the heart of the former
editor OF the Etna Green News. Bui
time changes all things: and when ne
concluded to move his plant To bourbon
and cut large swath, and transferred
his editorial work into the hands of
another. his influence as "molder of
public opinion has gradually diminished
until to day it has become invisible to
the general public.
His attacks upon the INDEPENDENy
have been wholly uncalled for, and
those who can read between the lines,
are fully aware it is not Frank Carter
upon the throne 1t is none of his busi-
ness where we stand politically. We
are not tied to any one party, and are
running the INDEPENDENT for the
benefits derived for its proprietors. and
the news for It's numerous and fast in
creasing readers. We are not after any
political plums, or Office. The INDE-
PENDENT is just what the name i'm
Plies, while the assertions made by the
News. as being independent, shows
editorially every week The falseness Of
the assertion, and the marks OF the col
lar worn by its publisher may plainly
be seen.
When you talk about the INDEPEN-
DENT being a political incubator. you
assert another falsehood without
blush: and while We are talking upon
this subject, we might remark, an in
cubator il your head would be al ex
cellent thing to help you manufacture
your own populistic editorials. l0n
try to cover up your dirty linen by
bringing to the fore some little sQuib
claiming that You propose 20 sustain
your town against the t,ings OF plym
outh papers. These .iings Must surely
be in your head which a. present has
every indication Of softening Of 1bf
brain. 1t is truly wonderful how radi
cally you have changed since you moved
the lawn mower from Etua Green.
And you must have lost = great deal of
! sleep over the thoughts that the dear
people OF Bourbon, were being annihi
lated by the Plymouth press. 1t is truly
laughable to hear you sputter aboUt
what you know about the history Of
this country while we We're in swad-
ding cloths. Why dear boy, the senior
editor of this paper cast vote for presi
dent before you Used any fuzz upon
your lip.
As far as Plymouth having hard feel
ings of any kind toward Bourbon and
her people, it is an hallucination that
has found its origin in the diseased
brain, that belongs to the type setter OF
the lawn mower.
If suchhas been the case the editors OF
heart burning that, if it has existed
the INDEPENDENT propose to utilize
every effort in their power to help re
move it, and with generous heart try
to sweep into oblivion every yestige Of
have been brought into existence by g
newspaper man % who desires TO use
it for political capital.
Now, my dear boy, goodbye, we have
not much time or space to waste in an
swering your rot, for the columns Of
this paper are cOnse rated to the use OF
business men and the advancement OF
! Plymouth and Marshall county.
