also attempts TO make the public believe that the
head OF the church connected with the postofice
troubles lie hasn't brains enough TO know that
the ministers are not at the head of the church
or churches It's the elders he is driving at who
are honorable gentlemen and heavy taxpayers and
feel sorry the way some things have been carried
on in our midst since last spring. The idea of hay
ing such men criticised, who have beeu successful
in their different occupations before those writers
were born, is simply outrage We mean TO
give honor to whom honor is due. These the
people we must look up to for support of our
churches, schools aud government. not to our vii
lHge postofice clique. Some of them have been
feasting for years a fraudulent pension. The
balance don't pay sl0.GO taxes year. We know
the writer to be of domineering disposition,
handed down from one generation 10 another.
We want it distinctly understood that he cannot
carry Silver Run or Myers district in his vest
pocket.
We beg pardon for taking up SO much of your
valuable space but we will say in conclusion that
our aim was not on ministers churches limo
cent parties, but our cannon was directed on the
enemy; the guilty parties who are well known
here. We don't expect to take any further notice
of them through the press SILVER Rus.
