The Concrete home talent presented

The Concrete home talent presented
their play of "Tompkins Hired Man" at
the hall Tuesday. Everybody was we'll
pleased and their success will assure
them a hearty welcome should they
present another play in our town.
The Milton Globes self styled Olga
correspondent again makes use of the
columns Of that paper to spread broad
cast the mallgnants statement for which
he has ransacked the narrow confines
of his Uranium. He apparently objects
to his compositions being referred to as
conglomerations of broken words and
disjointed sentences and in order to be
sure that We have done him no injustice
by such a reference we again read his
first ~unvarnished effort which he had
the gall to place under the heading of
"Olga Happenings" and again call to
mind the enquiries made among the
pupils of the primary grade in the
endeavor to discover the author, and
we are forced to admit that although
it will seriously hurt that abnormally
developed bump of self esteem which
occupies the greater part of the Uranium
heretofore referred to, we must reiterate
the statement. But if this was the
only fault to be found with his con-
tributon to the Milton Globe it would
never be mentioned; the trouble lies in
the deceiving statements, lying assump-
tons, and insulting references made by
him against those who have had the
the audacity to oppose him in his wrong
doing as we'll as others who are perfect
strangers to him, as for example his
insinuation that the Concrete home
talent carried "booze" with them and
this from a man who gets it IN sixty
gallon lots, whereas the Concrete home
talent was under the management of
those who are strictly temperate. Our
pen is referred to as a "prostituted pen,'
we acknowledge putting it to public use
but fail to see anything shameful in
that use, unless it be the exposure of
nothing but true facts told to expose
the prostitution of the Office held by the
writer of "Olga Happenings" in the
Milton Globe. Tho author of "Olga
Happenings" should remember that if
he dislikes to be referred to by such
expressions as he SO carefully repeated
in last weeks Globe, he should not
merit them, and should also remember
how mild they are when compared with
those he so Justly deserves. The truth
is hard pill to swallow, especially so
for one to whom it is an utter stranger.
His position here speaks for itself he
has not a single friend in Olga. He is
tolerated by a few and despised by the
majority and when we said last week
that his departure would be a signal for
a general thanksgiving we stated
nothing but the truth as he we'll knows.
In regard TO our statements we would
say that at no time have we written
anything in the columns of the Courier
Democrat that is not the plain I'M
vanished truth, of which there are in
disputable written proofs on file here
in Olga and although entitled by the
nature of our statements to sign them
"Verax" we are satisfied to use our
proper name. We would also state that
we have written in answer to some
lying in%sinuation Of the author of
Olga Happenings, and we will continue
to do so as long as the editor of the
Courier Democrat will give US space
in his valuable paper as we are sure of
reaching the majority Of the people
through its columns, and should we
fail in this our bounden duty there.are
a dozen pens ready to take the place OF
the one that writes these lines. ':.''. 2,
