ELLENDALE.

/ We caught il in the neck sure last week from all
sides and we were struck with awe by the express
sion Of our highly esteemed friend d. A. c. and
would hurt his tender feelings for the world
only intended our remark as an expression Of kind
sympathy. When he declares that he has fine
daughter that surpssses all others he hits our ten
der spot and we want him to distinctly understand
we have daughters too with which we can match
him in any legitimate apacity, but suppose that
Every old crow thinks his the whitest' and D. A,
c. is quite exeusable.
We had not the most remote idea or intention Of
iucuning the wrath Of Mr. Clifton when we ven
tured our suggestion to his road making complaint
and lend our assistance to his propAsity as a
chronic growler. In his letter Of reply he never
mentioned the road discussion once but discussed
shooting lice from ones eye brovs. He even re-
the oowardly tactics Of abusing our worthy
citizen if he has grievance against our old ex-com-
missioner, who is now retired to private life. why
not be honest enough to attack him personally
We have no means Of knowing how others see US
only by their honest expression. and in our thirty
years Of publicity Of the columns Of the press many
kind compliments have been paid us by the most
intelligent people of the county, and we have much
literature Of this nature which we prize very highly
but to such confirmed crank with only sehshness
and egotism their stock in trade, we may appear
very obnoxious and to such give a wide birth and
we will say finally for Mr. Cfton's benefit that we
hope never again to become involved again with
any person Of his deceased ealibre and forever our
cooperation has ceased
Our eannery is running in full blast and on fine
stock and plenty Of it and the proprietor with fifty
foreign hands laborers and all the available home
help is on the ground.

Mr.. Samuel Clendaniel prosperous farmer .
miles west Of town. met with rather serious acci- I
dent while drilling seed on last Thursday and mar
rosyly escaped death. He was driving to the dnl .
an old horse which he had always found trust
worthy but this occasion while he was fasten-
ing some part Of the harness the horse kicked him
and knocked him unconscious and broke three
ribs, Of the ribs penetrating the lung and eaus-
ing congestion Of that organ. Dr.. Jones Of George

most serious eondi'ion, but at this wiring he is
resting quite comfortable.
