WITH OUR
COMPLIMENTS.

The management of the sheet
across the street Is an easy going
unsophisticated kind OF guy lie pre-
tends to be great moralist and Is
always doing something more for
others than himself He has set him
self up not only as the political ring
leader OF Bluefield. but as the de
fender of everybody and everything
that comes along He would take
sides with the minions OF HI itself
to carry a point that would result I'm
his individual gain. Instead OF en-
deavoring to elevate. his efforts have
always been TO prey upon the credu-
lily of the ignorant for the gain OF
Office and political power. We have
no III feeling toward this individual
who has sneaked around and I'm ev-
cry way possible done his best to
ruin our business, we rather pity
than censure him, for where there
is no intellect TO guide. deficiencies
must to some extent be excused
Therefore we shall not waste time
and space upon subject that will
