We Are to Have Opposition.

Old Squire Soilitt, who last Sunday
came into church wearing our pants
that were taken from our clothes line
about three weeks ago. has taken a
new turn in his am bition to extermi-
nate the Bugle, and has put up the
dough, to set his son. Zeke, up in the
newspaper business. Zeke has been
east for the last thirteen years attend
ing college. and has returned with a
head full of effervescing and classical
wit which he desires to vent through
the columns OF newspaper. Zeke
has been to Germany once and took a
sneak around the castles on the
Rhine. He also went with a picnic
party to the Rhine and fished for shad
a few hours and thinks he is a finished
German scholar. but the young up
start will find that it takes great deal
more than book learning to qualify
man to do battle in the journalistic
arena.
Zeke wouldn't know type louise
from an alligator; he couldn't tell
shooting stick from a double galley,
and the poor college bred ignoramus
don't know enough about printing
office to enable him to tell an editorial
from a patent medicine adj. All Zeke
Sollitt knows is little X plus Y plus
y equals A, and a little + Pluribus
Unum and Sic Semper Tyrannis bust
ness that has been obsolete since the
DAYS of julius Caesar. Old Squire
Sollitt thinks Zeke is just what the
doctor ordered, and that he is the
smartest thing that ever happened.
and that he will revolutionize the
field of journalism and run the Bugle
out OF business the first 90 days, but
he will awake some morning and find
his college bred offspring seated on
the rough edge of the catalogue of
despair, wondering where he can bor-
row Just one idea that will meet the
appreciation of the public. Zeke Sol
lit editing newspaper! The thing
is preposterous. When Zeke was
seventeen years old he got up one
morning and cried because he did not

know on which foot to put his boot.
The old squire showed him. Zeke
put on the boot and then set up a howl
and wanted to know on which foot to
put the other boot.
This is the kind of BOBBY that old
Sollitt is steering up to mould public
opinion against veteran newspaper
man like ourself, who has won the APP
plause of our fellow man in every
cline. The old man heard of a news
paper plant for sale and he sent Zeke
to Guy it, and gentle reader if ever a
prehistoric print shop was unloaded
for good price on the photograph of
idiocy it was done when Zeke paid
5000 for the junk shop now being set
up in old Sollitt's woodshed for the
express purpose of running us out of
business. They bought an army
press, case of long primer used by
Brother Noah, for his flood forecasts,
a half dozen cases of advertising type
worn down to the second nick and
ed tombstone and worn cut jobber,
which had been sold for old iron.
So this is the layout: Zeke's col
lege education and true brainy ex-
perience of years, and antedeluvian.
monstrosity against our modern
equipment. 1t will not be for long.
We would not advise subscriber to
pay more than three months in adj
vance, for Zeke's newspaporial toes
will turn to the daisies before the
February peoples open their petals to
the morning sun and the sheriff will
be ringing sad requiem around old
Squire Sollitt's COW lot looking for
mortgaged property. The avenger
will soon fire his last shot and the
Bugle will issue safely from hidden
reef and float quietly on calm and
open sea.

our brain we went down to the saloon

himself as music teacher, and be-
cause we did not give him column
of free advertising IN this family
journal he got on his ear. He met
Old Sollitt at the saloon and offered to
teach Sal vocal music for his board.
Sal got mashed on him the first day
and he has been giving her lessons
every fifteen minutes since. The Old
Squire gave him bits to put head
on us, and last night he undertook
the job, and Sal has been rubbing
mustang liniment on his bruises all
day. We only hit him three times,
but he fell over all the barroom fur
niture, and we paid no more atten-
ton to him, just simply refreshed
our memory and went on our way re-
joicing and we will not be attacked by
him again in at least three weeks.
