Tins Combat Thickens.

The Clinton Gazette has the ear of
the Clinton Chronicle between It's
teeth and there is a tearing, grinding
sound.
The Clinton Chronicle is sitting on
the Clinton Gazette and there is a
noise of pounding.
Gentlemen may cry 'Peace!' 'Peace!'
but there is no peace. The war has
already begun. The doodIe.fight is on.
THE ADVERTISER has already apollo
gized for saying that one OF the Clin-
ton contemporaries was a wart. We
are conscious now Of villsinous exag-
geration when we said that. More
over, we are %repentent. Nevertheless,
had we been acquainted with their al
legged weaknesses as we'll as each seems
to be acquainted with the others, we
might have said something stronger.
TO date, no profanity has been used
by either paper. We fear though that
there Is evident In each editor a yearn-
ing to cuss-just for relief.
Meanwhile, our esteemed contempor-
aries and ra~g-chewers OF Clinton have
our most distinguished consideration.
If either were a little bigger somebody
would get hurt.
To The Gazette-Why don't you hit
a Teller OF your own size? Tackle The
Newborry Herald.
To The Chronicle-Surprised that
you notice The Gazette. Try The
Newberry Observer!
There's plenty Of good fun in q loo
die fight.

Every farmer can w his own press,
