REPLY TO THE TIMES
Communicated to tho Globe
by T. A. WeInke.

The writer of this article was
placed in the limelight last week
by the Condor Times because he
handed its editor, at the request
Of the Gillian County Booster
Board, a copy of the letters which
was sent it by the o. R.&N. Co.,
which offered financial assistance
to this club.
The writer noticed when he
stepped into the office Of the
erstwhile editor that he was not
in the best of humor and it is
possible that his digestive organs
were not doing their duty. But
it appears to me that this is no
reason why he should not be a
booster for Gillian County.
The principle reason advanced
by the editor for not supporting
this worthy movement which
will be the making of a good
county, and help every farmer
and business man, is, that the
Times or its friends knew very
little of this movement. If this
be true it is very evident he has
not been reading the columns of
the Gillian County Booster"
the paper which is boosting for
the people and is published in
Condor every Friday 81 times
a year.
The Editor further states that
he would not support a move
ment Of this kind until it is the
unanimous wish of Gillian
County, and not for pushing the
interests of any clique, or any
real estate concern. My dear
Editor you are asking for what
