Editor News: Seeing nothing from
this place in the Old Reliable, Il
thought would again pen a few lines
for the benefit of the readers.
Me and the old woman think 80
much OF the News that we have to tear
IL In two in the middle so we can both
read 1T at the same time. We certain
ly like to hear from the many cores
pondents. We can hardly wait until
Saturday evening when our paper
comes, and that is certainly a strange
thing. Mrs Grundy, a little paper

every case it is late in the evening Sat

sworn to. That simply meant that the
! members of said local did not own ev-
en- milk COW, much less store or
| dwelling house or land. Now, the
question remains, if they or he as the
case may be, did not know who be-
longed to said local union, how in
thunder did they or he know that
each and every one of them was
wholly insolvent. I want the public
to note the unreasonableness in such
| statement. 1t is no wonder that union
men are kicked from pillow to post
when such statement as that will stand
