his landlord stand security for your BILL
Was it because his taxes wcro so high

duced you to pnt his bill so low?
Another poor man tolls mo ho drove an
OK to your mill and carried load of
wheat to DO ground; that whlo his
wheat was grinding you refused to >,llow
him to grazo his OK in tho old fold, and
wheat ho had carried to havo ground with
which to feed his family. Was it because
your taxes were so high that you were 20
consdcrate with this poor man And
yot you preach equal rights to all and
special privileges to mono.

it; so it reduces itself to n question of
vcracity between }. A. Johns and the
editor of tho Newsstand between them
| shall not attempt to decide. Still it is
a littlo strange that ho who boasts Of his
war record, fighting until tho blood
flowed to tho horses brides should deny
his own hand writing. Blood flowing to
tho horses brides! 1t must havo boen
from four to six feet deep. We suppose
all tho soldiers who were not killed wore
drowned. Or probably tho Doctor forgot
to say that the general furnished his sol
dicrs with boats in which TO escape from
rivers of blood.
In conclusion, wo will offer littlo free
advice to this eminent "Em Dec" but
wo doubt his taking advice from an
honest man Come up, pay your part of
the taxes like n little man, live honorably
in tho sight of all men, toll tho truth,
though it hurts, and shut your ily-t trap,
and wo will leave tho balance Of your
dirty record unrcvcalcd. Amen!
