Mr.. Editor; / want little space to
reply to "Wild Bill She can come
at me Ikea wet hen on June bug.
and called me all kinds Of names. and
liar and such things. Now, the fact
is, "Wild BIZ don't want to be told
of her faults. She knew | was telling
the truth on her, except | made mp
little, and put to that corn eating bu-
siness, but the reason / did that was
TO try the old plan on wild Bill'' TO
see if the fur of the dog was good for
the bite and it worked well this time,
for she never to told half such yarns in
her next two letters. | think now she
is going to repent. l hope so anyway
She got to hitting at me and said
| Scrabbleharder' was a preacher of the
gospel. Well, yes, | am, and | have
been preaching repentance to "Wild
Bill, . for three or four years, and now
l am willing to take my old friend
"Hardscrabbe's advice and quit
writing those big yarns. will con-
fess my faults and ask "Wild Bill' to
forgive me for telling on her about eat
ing so much corn, ETC., at friend
"Hardscrabble' s.
Now, let IS see if "Wild BilP' will
confess her faults Now, wild Bill,
let us come down to the truth and tell
the truth if we know it. Did you get
mad at what said about that big foot
and face of yours? thought l could
tell by the tone of your letter you were
huffy a little. Now, let me preach
you some good doctrine, and see if you
will accept it. Don't you belong to the
church, and if so, don't you think it
is your place to tell the truth as well
as the preachers2 Don't they have as
good right to pass joke as anyone
else2 You seem to think the preach
ers only wear Sunday face one day
in the week. Well, that may be true
with some, but my kind of preachers
are expected to live everyday alike,
manifest the Spirit of the Master all
the time Do you know they don't do
that. If they fail to do SO they should
repent and do better. Now, "Wild
Bill what is your idea of religion an
} y wayY Can You tell person what
they must do to be saved2 If you can
let us hear from you next time, and
tell us all about how we should live
, in order to be saved. Give us some.
thing new next time. We don't care
anything about who passed your house
the other day, or who went shopping
and such like. Tell us all about your
church and what they teach.
l am glad I have such friend as
have in "Hardscrabble. He is {
friend indeed and one that everyone
should be proud of. Now I told the
truth about his big corn. He sent mi
some seed corn..last year and the grain
were so large my corn planter woul'
not drop it. I will stand by that
wild Bill and not take it back eth
er. HA
NOW,l WdHJ W say W SlSbOI ~SudlIO'
"Hardscrabble's mother-in -law, tina
I still condemn the Mormans just Xix
> I did at Hardscrabble's that night
4 preached over there. Here is what
said then and say it now, that poly
gamy was of the devil, but while sa
that / say more. There is somethin
taught by Sister Quarles' preacher
:. that / don't like and here is one: II
once in Christ, always in Christ Il
other world child of God can neve
. fall from grace So now, if the Edito
will let us, l will compare notes wit
any one of the Norman elders an
prove that polygamy is of the devil
l or will compare notes with any of til
3 ministers that teach once in grace a
. ways in grace. l can prove that is
l. false doctrine So let me hear frOl
u some of the advocates Of the above doc
trines.
