When an incident like the following
occurs, right here at home, it is bound
to carry weight with our readers.
When so many strange occurrences
go the rounds of the press; are pub
lished as facts; when the intelligent
readers knows they cannot be true.
there is no reason that people become
skeptical. On one subject skepticism
is rapidly disappearing. This is due to
the actual personal experience OF our
citizens and their public utterances
regarding them. The doubter must
doubt no more in the face of such ev-
idence as this. The public statement
of reputable citizen living right
here ut home. one whom yon can see
every day, leaves no ground for the
skeptic to stand on.
