LITTLE GEMS FROM GRANNY.


worthy arguments and such brilliant
contributions on city affairs, we fee
that it is shame for them to be
wasted on the desert air. In order
that the citizens of Plymouth may
know what a monstrosity is Gagged
up in the Bissell building, we give
his effusions word for word as they
escaped from the nozzle.
An investigation shows that the
city has almost twice as much money
as we stated Monday Evening
News.
Well, he acknowledges that he
lied on Monday. If he will kindly
inform the public on what days he
tells the truth, we will know with
what seriousness to treat his pen
products.
What reliance can be placed in
the statements of a man who says
on Monday that an electric light
plant is absolutely worthless and on
Tuesday declares that it is worth
STRENGTHENING News.
A cheerful liar.
The Independent says we did not
state correctly the amount of money
in the city treasury. We are glad
the little fellow called our attention
to this. We took the figures given
by his attorney but an examination
of the books shows that there is al
most twice as much money in the
treasury as we stated Monday. There
is no reason why the city cannot put
in an electric light plant without is
suing bonds for dollar, if it is the
best thing to do.-Evening News.
That settles it. The city can buy
any thing without money. Wind is
all that is necessary and Granny will
furnish that in any quantities de-
sired.
Wiggle waggle, wiggle waggle,
in and out every way, trying today
to wiggle out of what it said yester-
day disgusts everybody with the pa
per which announces that its opln-
ions are for sale to the highest bid
der.-Evening News.
A genuine poet. Entirely too
ETHEREAL for this cline. Right here,
let US say that Granny Seider's gems
are not for sale at any price. They
free as the water which flows.
F. glass of red lemonade will be
thrown in with each gem. Call
early and avoid the rush.
Towns less than one third the size
of Plymouth own their electric light
plants and furnish incandescent lights
at little more than half what they
cost in Plymouth. Can the people
of Plymouth be humbugged forever
by such silly twaddle as we are not
able TO put in lights now? We shall
never be able to make any improve
ments if we have a council that will
always pay two prices for what they
buy.-Evening News.
The council has been hit with
peanut. They should consider them
selves hit whether they noticed it
or not.
The Independent announces that
the News says able attorneys are
writing articles for the Independent.
Not so, little man, The News knows
that an able attorney would never
write such articles as have appeared
in the Independent unless he was
employed by some one opposed to
what the Independent is trying to
advocate. The attorney who writes
the Independent articles has made
himself the laughing stock of the
whole COMMUNICATING News.
Any attorney, knowing himself
to be guilty, will please apologize
to the town pump, and leave Plym-
outh. Granny don't approve of the
electric light arguments which he
says you wrote for the Independent.
That being the case, you could not
hope to thrive here.
If the city cannot put in an cleo
trio plant that will cost anywhere
from $1,000 to sI2 1000 without issu-
ing bond, how can it pay an indi-
vIdual 100000 for lights -Evening
News.
If Granny Siders can pay his
board with a three dollar week
salary, he would in ten years time
pay $500 for board. He could do
that, but there is no reason to infer
that he could buy $500 hotel the
first week he draws his salary.
When we quote the exact language
of the Independent it accuses us of
being dishonest. That is terrible.
We had no idea that the dishonesty
of the Independent had become such
stencil in the nostrils of the people
that It's own editor believes that no
