of unettdred farmers with prOpahly not law

BROTHER MITCHIM, of the De
Soto Press, insinuates that we miss
cd the truth by wide margin
when we stated that he once pub
lished a Republican paper at this
place. We do not wish to injure
our esteemed friend in his present
good standing with the Democratic
party, but at the same time we
must insist that our vcracity be not
30 ruthlcssly impeachcd. The pa
per which Bro. Mitchcm establish
ed here a few years ago, while it
did not exactly fly the Republican
insignia at its masthead, was es-
tablishcd in the interest of the Re-
publican party, at the solicitation
of Republicans and was supported
by their patronage, both private
and official. And if our friend has
forgotten his reasons for not want
ing the paper to appear as being
distinctly Republican, we will, up
on request, be glad to recall them
to him.
