Twice have we read the most startling re-
ports in the columns OF the esteemed argus
and at last we feel compelled to ansW or.
1t was asserted that II. b. Hancock was
juror from Middlesex and that he caught
the German measles in the post-office from
the disease being prevalent upstairs. We
have yet to learn that Mr.. Hancock is a
resident OF Middlesex. His name is GER
tainly not to be found on the check list,
and further we are not aware OF any one
being confined "up stairs' with the Ger
man measles. Still further no German
measles have been in the building within
two months OF the time Mr.. Hancock came
down with them. Again we do not think the
item stating that the residents of Middlesex
village are DESTROYS of having a town liquor
agency established here Is correct without
qualifications. We are in possession of
well signed petition or protest against such
action which will show what part OF the
residents desire the agency, and have many
names at our services who are residents
outside of the village. SO il would appear
that either through transformation or fixed
purpose, the two items referred to- are es-
sentially wrong and extremely misleading.
AS we have been the source in the past
from which that paper obtained the greater
share of its Middlesex locals we think its
action in this matter is not only ungrateful
but wholly unwarranted. % Ess.1.. IA
