The Journal keeps on lying about

by the b. & o. railroad or some
one connected with it. 1t is hardly
necessary for US to say that the
Journal is liar and the truth is not
in it for everybody knows that with
out US repeating it. Simply because
an employ of the B. & O. road
contributes to the columns of this
paper as does people in almost
every vocation of life, because THE
ARGUS is the peoples paper and its
columns open to any one and every
one who writes an article of any
kind fit for publication. This pa
per is not the plant tool of any
ring, boss, or Jim Jam Committee,
who have to be consulted about its
policy or the articles published in
it. Will the Journal dare deny that
the special agents of at least one
railroad and other corporate interest
in the county as great as that of the
B. & o. contribute to its columns ?
Will the Journal dare deny that
some very high officials contribute
to its editorial columns and shape
its policy Will the Journal dare
deny that the officials of National
Bank contribute to its columns ?
Much more of this could he rub.

headless and degenerate Journal but

with no reason whatever for doing
so except that an employ for the

mlttee in this county for years and
naturally still takes an interest in
the paper and his party as he has

greater value to them than gold

educated and raised a model family
OF children that have not only been
their solace and comfort i'm their
declining years, but have also been
blessing and inspiration to all
who know them is the greatest
compliment that could be paid to
them. We might add that they
