EDITORIAL, ASSOCIATION INVITED

EDITORIAL, ASSOCIATION INVITED.
An invitation has been rendered
the Secretary Of the State Editorial
Association to hold its annual con-
venhon at this place sometime in
June OF this year. Free transporta-
ton over the B. & o. and Holly
River Railroads have been offered
to the Association and the business
men will give them a banquet. A
more ideal place could not be sc.
lected by the editors. We have
the best accommodations in the
way of hotels to be found in the
State Many of the newspaper men
who have never visited this place
Will no doubt be anxious to embrace
this opportunity and visit what is
destined to be one of the most
famous summer resort. A special
will be furnished them from Holly
Junction in this place.
Their visit will also be a great adj
vertisement for our town.
We hope the quill drivers will be
favorable to the invitation and
come.
The above is from The Webster
Springs Republican and should be
acted upon at once by the officers
of the Editorial Association and
the invitation accepted. There
is blank in the file now for last
year, but with no campaign this
year or an extra session of the Leg.
islature, there is no reason what
ever for not having an interesting
and enjoyable session of the Asso-
citation. The President, Hon. w.
l.. Mansfield is now back in the
harness again and we urge him to
call meeting of the Executive
Committee and take some action.
1t seems that there are still peo-
pie right here in the county that
think The Argus can be bluffed or
scared into something. We had
supposed that everybody knew bet
ter than that long ago, but now
comes along smart alec over at
Terra Alta with letter during the
past week making dire threats of
vengeance against us unless we cor
rect a statement made about him In
this paper last week, which he says
is mostly true, but one little state
ment he considers as an insult and
unless it is corrected "there will be
trouble" AS we received our in
formation from one of the most re-
liable citizens of the town and had
every reason to believe it correct
and the party himself admits that it
is substantially true, we do not con-
slider there was any insult about it.
Not half as much as the letter this
fresh young individual wrote in re-
gard to it, which is a very poor way
to get any favor or concession.
Whenever The Argus finds out that
1t Is wrong, or mistaken, il will very
cheerfully acknowledge it, but it is
no use for anyone to try to bluff us
or scare us into anything as that has
been tried too often. So now Mr.
Terra Alta Smarty, we absolutely
decline TO make the correction"
you demand with so much insolence.
as we have a great curiosity to see
what kind of "trouble" you are 90
ing to make. You might come over
and "clean out the Office" as it is
the spring of the year now and
house-cleaning time is at hand and
our office needs cleaning out badly
enough. It's now up to you Mr..
Smarty to make good. See!
Has it escaped the memory of
the Grafton Sentinel that DR.. T. f.
Lanham is a resident Of Taylor
county, and that he is a close friend
of the man with the straw hat and
rake ? If the records have not
been destroyed they will disclose
the fact that the Doctor beat the Ira
Robinson faction Of the Republican
party in Taylor for the legislative
