Communication.

EDITOR PRESS, City.
DEAR SIR. In the Arkansas Gazette
of Sunday, June 18th, on page l2, is an
article written by NJ. l.. DeMahler
and inspired by some fertile brain OF
Van Buren,. that is certainly the most
contemplate conglomerations of false
hoods that could be written.
Ananias, did he live today, would
hide his face in shame were he its
author. The story of Geo. Washington
and his Ratchet was certainly never
taught Mr.. DeMahler. If it was, the
moral has long been forgotten by him
and depravity has taken its place.
The insinuation that the fruit growers
of Crawford county haven { intelligence
enough to know how they want to ship
their berries, is within itself such an
insult that all our citizens should
certainly resent it.
He attributes great power to the
'agent of both Express Companies
when he says: Instead of looking
upon the new movement with favor and
at least suffice their greed with what
early berries might fall to their share,
the facts are that the agent of both
companies did everything in his power
TO make the experiments, having gone
80 far in his attempt as TO implicate the
Frisco management, particularly so
since the car was shipped by them over
the long route via st. Louis, when it
had been expressly stipulated between
them and the growers that it was to be
shipped over short route to
Minneapolis via Kansas City
A beautiful illustration of intelligence
for man Of the ''Col. s. mature age !
In the first place the idea that an
express agent can dictate the routing
of a car and make terms with the
growers how it will be sent, when he il
not in the employee of the railway
company, shows his absolute Ignorance
or wilful misrepresentation. A shining
| light he would be as chairman of an
Express Commission. Again he
saws: THE despicable means ikelv
to be employed by them can be under.
