that if We could ill the House and
Senate with Just such men as Josh
Ashley, our government would have
onc-thirl less taxes to pay that We
now have I" pay. OH no. we would
not object To Il boss" of that kind.
81. Essic reminds us very much Of Il
story OF long ago about the fox and
he Srapcvlnr>. Once upon :, time, SO
the story goes. :; farmer WAS very much
annoyed hy an old fox that kept get
ting his best GIapr.. and he hung up II
bell. ;" hat every time he would Try
{" get the grapes the bell would ring
and scare him away That worked
very well for awhile. But by and b,
he fox investigated the matter, and
his musinE ran thus. "a great big
mouth. Il great long tongue. II bell of
fuss and nothing done
Mr.. Editor. indeed il was quite funny
~ this little .''rrirkri calling ms Il
copied from The pen OF ''Don Limo"
we only took Il good laugh at it. Yes.
his little song seems tn br hOrried from
some one. as it was not original ut all.
IL. F.sSic' we are sorry that you and
,l)"n Limo" have straycd away from
he rest of uS. but in every lot of sheep
there are several that wander far away
from the Masters Kingdom. and their
wandering is caused by one or two old
"bills.' who get stubborn and sullcn,
and we have come to the conclusion
that yOn and ")On Limo think that
you are the "bnllics." Probably there
/ will hc 4 time, though, when these lost
sheep will return to the house of Is
racl. and ut which place, if they get
down before Cod and weep bitterly,
they will hr received bncli into tho
fold. Now. al. Essic," yOn say we
would not know the truth If we were
to meet it in!the r,n.l. Well. we hive
always been taught to tell the truth,
and it we fail to do SO. We are always
willing to be corrected, for ii we tell Il
faIschOOd we do not do it Intentionally.

are not capable OF giving advice. and,
therefore. what we have said will not

arc willing To submit our peiccs to the
dear people to be- the judges as to who
has done so much ''licing." rs YOU seem
so freely to term it. You said our
end Now, this is Il nice way for one
brnther to speak To another :,m.! We
will Sny further to Mr.. ~. Essic." that
IL ne intends to carry on Il controversy
with us, that he will have to write
facts. and { he fails to do sO. anything
more from his pen like inc mas written
heretofore, will he treated by us with
the contempt that it will deserve. And
You cnn not do any hctter than you
have already done, yOm had better,
little "cricket.' crawl into your chim-
ncy jam where you spend your winter
quarters, for we think that We are
going to have some very rough wealth
or, and we would not have you frozen
to death for anything in this world,
for you think that you are the "king"
of the inject race. But. i'll case we do
have suca fearful weather, we will no
doubt make our fires n little hot for
yon. hat ynn just think abcMt the false
reports that yom have circulated on
Josh Ashley, and say in your mind that
you ought to he "scOrched." After all,
we hope that you may have merry
Christmas. and much success for n
happy new year.
We are the same
