We wish to say in reply to that
article that Mr.. Martin has fixed
things up to suit bis fancy in several
instances. As to a vigilance committee
we have none. Every one interested
10 Albert f. Martins welfare is a law
abiding citizen and what has been
done in his behalf is strictly in ac-
cordance with the law.
In regard to the stranger as men

ISLANDERS and working on farm for
80 cents day and his wife doing the
washing and cooking for board is an
infamous lie. That can be easily
proven. 1t seems useless to 90 into
any farther details in the matter as we
have already said sufficient to satisfy
the most skeptical as to the truth Of

wish to say that the l75 citizens who
