A Statement.

| believe that almost everyone
will agree with me that such au
article as that published by MIR.
G. ii Upper under the pseudo
nym Of Frank Smoker" in last
issue of the San Angelo Standard
and dealing entirely in personali-
ties is unworthy u reply.
In order TO end this coutro-
versy and since the matter has
now by the latest article in tho
Standard descended to the low
level of personal abuse, / will
make no reply whatever to Mr..
Topper.
/ should like to state, however,
that / feel quite competent to re-
ply to anything Mr.. Topper
might write or which might APP
pear in the San Angelo Standard
and that without descending to
the slums and cutters for my
language / could apply the most
abusive epithets to Mr.. Topper; |
could revile him in the most
scathing terms whether disguised
under the veil of POPULARITY, by
implication or by innuendo, but /
hold that it would not be- gentle
manly in Inc to do so and / do
not believe in the practice Of
mud-siinging.
/ leave it to the people to
Judge, however, whether such an
article as that published by Mr..
Topper and his use i'll that article
of such words as "rot, bum, doe
back, butted, aged limberger,
whole deck, entire cheese, throw
Off, topgallant mast, slush,
bloated, ETC., etc )" will he n
credit to Mr. Upper and the
Standard or whether it will re-
fleet equally upon them.
Respectfully,
FRED S. WEBB.

Fiotilla of Boats Arrive and are
Launched on Glenmore Dam.
Future Pleasure Resort.

Some folks ask: "WHAT will
Charlie Metcalfe do next2" The
Press doesn't attempt all answer.
Suffice it to say that what he has
hitherto done has been along the
lines of progress aud he has done
we'll. San Angelo ought to he
proud of Mr.. Metcalle.
G, B, Metcalfe's latest achieve
ment is one in perfect keeping
with his progressive nature and
his theory of turning the natural
resources of the county into insti-
tutions from the operation of
which profit may be derived and
pleasure obtained. In harness
ing the Concho Mr.. Metcalfe has
accomplished feat which will
carry his name down to posterity
as an enterprising man, thor
ough-going genius and progress
sive thinker. In future years the
power which he has made the
Concho to render will turn the
wheels of many enterprises. AL
ready it helps supply the city of
San Angelo with light besides fur
nishing the motive power for the
Glenmore Water Power Gin.
These things but illustrate the
beginning of it all. The future
will develop the sequel.
Along with all work, whether
that work be the delvings of the
scientist into the tones of an
tiquity or the scrapings of the
journalist along the crust of cur
rent events, the labor performed
by the mechanic, carpenter and
artisan or those lighter, and pari-
doxically, heavier duties of the
bookkeeper, clerk, and merchant,
there must be some pleasure.
