After q long conference with AS
sistant District Attorney Rand, Abra-
ham Levy, OF Miss Patterson's coun.
sci, said that although nothing could
be done at present in connection
with the case, he felt sure that action
would soon be taken by the district
attorneys Office which will satisfy the

The Chronicle has for good
many years been boosting the va.
rious institutions of Wills Point
but it is getting little tired of
one. sided game. 1t may be Bible
doctrine to turn the other cheek
but there should be limit to the
other cheek business. Notwith
standing all we have done for the
town and many special institutions
in it, there is good deal of print
ing going to foreign concerns tina,
we do as we'll as anybody and as
cheap as any reputable printing
house. Not only is the work go,
ing out of town but it is going to a
place that has always taken q
special delight in doing all posi-
BILE against Wills Point. The PEG
Pile to whom it goes never speak a
good word for the town. never
spend a cent in it, never do any
thing for public enterprise of any
character. Our job office, equip
ped as it is and employing the
class of workmen that it does, does
not pay one dollars profit during
a years time. If any man doubts
this statement he is welcome to
take look at the books. The
golden rule is mighty good thing
when it works both ways but il
gets very monotonous when it is Il
one. sided game all the time -
