telephone poles. II some other man is get.

not going 10 Go him any dirt Tor his down.
fah. When YOU hear anyone Insisting OF
running certain other fellows out OF town.
this is an evidence that they are about run
cut themselves.
'Salamauder claims that the small boys
are pretty active. they arc active cnoash
sometimes 10 run across certain men after
night standing around other peoples houses.
and al tho same time they ought 70 at home
looking after their own household Il
seems as though have touched
"Salamander on a ve,N tender spot thar
causes him TO sQuirm more than any fellow
ever saw. There were some points in
some Of my former articles that he never
touched upon Because twas little per.
sonSl history that-crowdcd the brother too
closely TO the wall
Salamanca" said in his last article
that had not been seen at Sabbath.school
or al any other church az this place except
my own. since have been here brand
this assertion as being base Tic. because
have been az church at all OF the three
churches In this town OF course when a
man gucsses az anything he is liable TO tell
more than one Tie. and "Salamander" was
guessing "a this and he missed il and told
a falsehood as he usually does haven't
heard OF him being az church in the town
or any pace else. since have been in this
town
am somewhat particular in picking my
company and have been very particular
not TO pick Salsmander or any OF his
noted gang Tor my associates And the
ones have picked for my company I 6ud
them to be true men and women that stand
for the right They arc not like "Sala.
mandcr and his gang, like a buckwheat
grain, having two or three faces ind
them the same upright people to-day that
found when first came here. "Salamander
has reason Tor not associating with the
company associate with And the reason
is he cant. l can see plainly wherein they
arc right for doing as they do and not as.
sociatins with him. because IL would be
communicating to any people to associate
with thing like him. As Tor a member
Of my family being at his place OF business
that member was there TO buy some article
from the store. and 'Salamander is try.
ing TO make falehood out Of e. as he does
everything re uses the words minister"
and ''oiass.leader" to make IL as impressive
as he possibly could upon the minds OF the
people. Bat every considerate person will
consider the source from which IL came.
have not as yet gone to any person to
get Information in regard to the bad deeds
Of "Salamander" but know enough
from personal observation to make pretty
large book. would not want to read the
history OF "Salamanders" life, u his past
lille has been as black as il has been the
past six months ! know "Salamander'
would much rather would not be in this
town simply because do not coincide with
him. OF course II would dance when he
whistled would be pretty good fellow
/ have never as yet compromised with the
time. have been in quite number OF
localities, and in different states in this
Union. And | have seen persons that |
thought were as hard as sin could make
them but they were not touch 60
'Salamandcr." | had no idea that a man
could become as sinful. and mean as he is.
One consolation we have and IL is he is
hurting himself worse than anyone else.
We can plainly see the effects Of letting
his cracked brain get away with him in
business There seems to be stagnation
IN business with the brother And the
cause of the stsndsull Is the course he Is
pursuing drives his customers away. lie
seems 20 have a very lonely time Of IT, AT
his place of business as he calls a.. lie
does not seem TO be doing much business,
so far as selling goods Is concerned. lie
has plenty Of time 10 loaf ! think about
all the business he is into now is Matching
mp mischief, and enlarging untruths be.
licve he can do a better business al this
than he can sitting around the postofioe
and store
"Salamander' said IN his article Of MAY
| ord that he was going TO do me mp and that
he was going to do IL just for fun, aud said
also Tor me 20 relax my pace. lie would
only be glad II ! would relax my pace.
But that voice, perhaps. Is not a. com
handing TO me as IL has been aud IL 90
some people. am not as easily done up as
"Salamander' thinks J am. lie has saruck
the wrong passenger now He will not
| find the Chronic Grumblcr as he calls
him. This voice does not scare me have
beard owls boot before ever saw "Sala.
mandor Z, may have been that he has
done fellows up. and he has already
boasted 90 other parties that hc was going
to do me the same way. But when be gets
me done up he will be far better speci.
men ~ humanity than he Is now "Sala.
mander" seems 90 be pretty well versed In
scripture but not Holy Scripture. He
quotes largely from the ism he teaches,
and be may possibly cause some one like
himself 20 believe his false assertions But
no one who Is intelligent will believe his
stun Now "sala' when you use other
mems productions give them credit for It.
You are only given credit with your own
weak. Silly sayings. GRUDGE
