Editor Banner-Seldom in our ex.
perience, with opinions publicly ex-
pressed, has so broad a smile crept
over our countence, as when we read
the anonymous review of our previ-
Gus article upon parcels Post" by
your correspondent i'm Jan Dist issue.
Not quite sure as to the aims of our
friends article, we consulted the die
tionary upon the term facial, +" to see
If there was any disrespect personally
toward us, and being assured ii was
certainly a compliment instead. 1t
appeared TO us, the whole thing ought
to be made big joke. and not much
more.
So correcting the gentleman upon
one point, in which he is misinfofmed

ever been, opposed TO Cuban Inde-
pendence, ON the contrary have favor
ed it from the first, and do yet. Reci-
procity is a species of Swapping
horses" in no way allied to independ-
ence."
Now in general, anonymous pro-
positions are not honored for their
candor, not candid in their honor.
But to accuse my friend of anything
along this line. or the line of coward
ly attack, would be unkind and clear.
ly untrue. His position is above re-
proach and places him in distin
guished sense of the adage. .'Discre-
tion is the better part of valor, as no
good business man, would be suicidal
to the extent of standing for the
arguments and hopes he entertains
against Free Rural Mail Delivery
Delivery, so long as he is country
town merchant, depends uron patron
age of farmers, he could not afford the
unpopular estimate he would receive.
So thus generating our friend from
any rash or foolish act thus far COM
mitted, we are disposed to throw down
two challenges to him.
First, will he define his alluded to
obsolescent Country-town. Is it a
wide awake country hamlet with a
live merchant in it? or is il the town
that has fruited, gone TO seed and
Topped over like a dead rWGcn? That
like the sickle and the scythe, has
served its day and substituted, not
supplemented, the complete binder
and the up-to-date moving machine?
Challenge two. Sign your name so
we may all know which one of the
country merchants? you are. My
reasons for placing an Interrogation
here, is, that it may be you are not a
country-town man at all. Your arti-
Gle reminds me of an incident during
the establishing of the Greenville
Free Delivery, gentleman who had
to 90 with the routing business: said
to me, 81 can tell one of your country
populists here soon as speak to him. "
How? "Soon as | ask if he desires his
mail brought to his door, he looks out
across the field spits and says, Does
il cost anything"
