After the Votes Niece Counted

The editor of this paper met the
enemy last Tuesday and we are theirs
in carload lots. We lost out and our
opponent won in. The only way we
can account for this is that he got
more votes than we did We are not
lame, manned Or sore over the result.
A number of voters promised to vote
for us, but made mistake on election
day and voted for the other fellow
such is politics.
Hereafter this paper will be more of
religious paper than political one.
We have to do something to square
ourselves for the lying we have done
in behalf of ourselves and others.
We find ourselves now without
friends. influence, money, credit or a
meal ticket, and those owing us will
come to our relief at once. No apol-
ogies or excuses will be received I'M

that is, gold, silver or currency. We

business hours, unless we are dodg-
