LEBANON, Or, April l9, 1897.
EDITOR DEMocRAT:
see in the Tennessee correspondence
in the columns OF your paper in a recent
issue, q statement about my father r.
w. Munsey. The article stated that my
father wanted the school children OF the
neig hborhood to go by way OF LaSanon,
to come to school, or in words to that eff
iect. Now that is malicious, wilful lie
which was intended by the writer to in
iure my father. He has never spoken a
word about any of the school children
not going across his premises except the
sapheaded boy who wrote the piece He
has straight county road from bis door
yard to the school house aud instead Of
travelling that, he would go out of his
way and pass through fathers meadow,
and one day father told him to go the
road as he did not want roads made
through the grass. And from this he
sends you the piece referred to, and will
say further that nearly half OF the school
children pass through fathers premises
every day going to and from school. II
you doubt my statements, just write and
a. k any of the following men who are
our neighbors: p. l.. Wallace, Ed Myers,
Geo. Ross or G. F. Burkbart and see il
am right.
