WE GLuAT Anew.

For the third time within six months
the REVIEW has been before the people
with large undertakings and all have
been successful. The contest last
September was one of the most exciting
the county has even seen, the Christ
mas edition was the finest printed in
Iowa in 1898, and our January guessing
contests closed last night in blaze of
glory. In the meantime we have been
printing the best paper in Crawford
county. The REVIEW is rejoicing, it
has the big head, it is conceited and
is stuck on itself, and it don't care who
knows it. 1t feels sorry for the poor
little chuckle-headed fellows who have
to play second fiddle and eat sour
grapes in the back yard. 1t weeps with
the small bored man who cries, s'lOt
terry" and fraud" when he sees the
great REVIEW soaring away from him.
1t commiserates the smallness Of the
intellect that will preventlts employees
from playing in the band because the
occasion is a REVIEW enterprise. But
above all we would like to repeat what
everyone knows, and that is that the
biggest, the best, the most enterprising,
the newsiest and tho cleanest newspaper
in this neck of the woods is the Great
and Only. the DenisOn REVIEW.
