a trip around the WE7iHI
with Daniel.
Mccarthy becomes Literary,
and the naughty boys work him.

The many farmer friends of our old
and successful farmer, Daniel Mccarthy
were glad to see him break into Liter
allure last Saturday, and see him leav-
ing the old farm and becoming Roos4
evelt or VIM. Allen White in the mag
azines. But Literary men always write
their own articles while Daniel tells
his and someone works him and gets
him in a wHIRL fighting his town.
1t appears in his dear friend Mulroy's
paper on the Dalton matter, and Milsey
will fight the town or county's interest
any time if he can go. for Freese He
is sore over the Justice Cox matter and
can't stand seeing the Free Press sue
cessful, while his paper is the measliest
in the county, even with the county
supporting it.
(Note how his last paper was filled with
A ticket, and long dead treasury no
tice and other long past legal notices..
Daniel tells about His Dear Friend
DALTON. Yes, very dear?
Mr.. Dalton lay sick abed 81 months.
During that long time Daniel went out
there JUST ONCE, we are told Very
attentive to his dear sick friend?
His dear friend Miles went along and
it was told by the boys the justice was
to draw the will. but that had been done
and filed in the Probate Court.
Daniel and Miles drove home, Patsy
and ] ohn smiled, and Mr. Mccarthy and
Miles never went back to see their dear
friend on his sick bed
Then Dan advertised for Billy's rel
atives? Yes. Ask him to see a copy of
the paper or the bill. Freese CAN show
the paper and sworn to bill for his adj
vertising there.
Then how Freese hired his brother to
help search the records. Twas awful,
as Freese's brother had been in that
business, like Mr.. Oshant, for over 20
years, charged but $40, while the Alba
ny Abstractors wanted $25. He should
have spent all of Dalton's money freely
and not tried to be saving.
And of the narrowing tales Freese
told (but Daniel published.) He had
forgotten it was the search of the city
directories that led to these homes that
led to the poor house search, and about
the children. And friend Dan could
have seen these certificates, if asked.
Also the poor house record, even how
these faithful Sisters of Charity, bless
their dear souls, always care for the
unfortunate and never allow one OF
their creed die and be buried out of the
church and Anastasia died in the arms
of her friend and buried in the Catholic
ground, and in the name of Billy it was
pleasure to contribute his mite tC
their relief fund to care for some other
uncared for unfortunate rather than tC
the Albany abstractors. Freese is
wicked but loves these sweet faces in
the white and black caps. And if he
had found Anastasia living would have
gladly paid for her care by them as long
as she lived.
Then how Freese spent $12. so of Dali
toms money to redress the Free Press.
Yes, it was awful for the old man to
turn his office over to his son John and
while the old man away John to sell the
old type, take $12 so of his own hard
earned job-work money and get out a
nice paper, while the NEWS, even with
the $1,000 county teit, has run down to
the measliest of our county papers.
But Missy had his chance to hit the
Free Press and let Daniel take all the
blame, for Miles don't like the Free
Press to offer to save the county q
per cent on the County Printing anc
Milsey have to force the Commissioners
to give him that much more.
And then for Daniel to fight his owr
town is the worst of all, for we al
know the town needs new public hal
and when his dear old friend offered tt
build one as q lasting monument, and e
number of citizens offered to contribute
to make that memorial to his FRIEND
still handsomer, for Dan to allow him
self to be used by those who don't want
new hall built-haven't the least inter
est to see the town improve, is a sur
prise to Dams many friends.
But honestly, friend Mccarthy, come
in town and publicly kick those smoothe
city chaps who got you to sign then
article Everybody around town know
who wrote, the big ear-marks were too
plain) disgracing the name ofyour deal
friend Dalton, opened the closet show
ing your visits to your dear friend anC
made you fight your town, SO they vii
never try to make fun of an old farmer
again, and when you want to publish al
article come down to the Free Press
always the farmers paper.
Your friend Harry Freese.
