make short reply 10 that Muiga.
AIss writer. he never said VOID
about whether saw Gust was detrimen-
tai to9sh or not. He cidn't have
brains enough even to write an opiu-
ion on the subject However the facts
are that the writer who signed bis
name "Owl'' has got the proper rame.
We know him up here and he looks
very owly aud at one time be got mad
at DIR. N B. Moore and thought be
would get in shot at me- ! will
state that j rolled sawdust before
''Owl'' was born. He used the e
words in his article, ''If you and your
gang would quit your fishing and 80
to work at saw mill. you would fare
better. DR.. Moore stated to me that
he had money enough to buy Mr.
"Owfs" daddy's place at Red Hill
and does own it now, besides other
valuable property, and own my own
place, live at home and neither one OF
us have to roll sawdust for a living
"Owl," so we are led to believe, re-
Gently lived at Red Hill, one mile
north of Whitwell, and DR.. Moore says
he is a very small potato in his eye
any way. He says that he tried him
on raising potato crop on the half,
and said that his half of said crop was
very short AMI came out Just Ike
tOwl', the hind END, and it took a
little ready cash to even up, so don t
think Mr.. "Owl", you have brains ID
that little owly head of yours to hold
candle for me to write by, let alone at
tempting to advise me and Drs Moore
as what is best for us to do. Ii am
right as to who you are you are the
same buck, the same owl by night, who
patrolled the streets of Whitwell at
night and fred one volley OF pistol
shots after another, and got indicted
at jasper a few courts back for public
drunkenness, and you got indicted the
last term Of court az Jasper the second
time. you and your gang, for broad
open day light "sweat" by being
drunk and shooting and dastardly con-
duct over at one Brit Thomas which
you will have to come back to the
state of Tennessee to answer for by
and by, and so Mr.. "Owl", ] will
busy myself just enough to help pro-
cure requisition to land you at the
hatter's shop, and when you come back
don't fail to make an inquiry about
me and DIR. Moore. When the roll is
called we both will be on deck, and
right here, but not rolling saw dust,
but before you get to your journey
end there will be rolling in it. Now,
Mr.. "Owl," you got some of your
pals to write to the News that you
had gone to Carolina and other points
when we have kept right at your heels
all the time. In fact you didn't go
anywhere and if couldn't get up a
better article for publication than You
/ would go into the mountains and
there hide myself in some secret place,
and cry for the rocks to fall on me and
hide me from the face of Intelligent
men. When I get thru with you there
won't be a thing left but an empty
shell and little old dried-up night
owl with all the feathers and down
picked off. You look more like cat
fish than you do an "Owl." From the
very facts in the case you are all
mouth and no brains. I have two lit
tie boys who look like twins, 10 and
10 years old, and either one of them
can write a better article for publica-
tion than you, and if you attempt to
come again will let my 70 year old
boy answer you, and let the reading
public Judge as to who is best, and If
my little boy don't step by you and
get the honor will bind myself to, set
up a car load of owls like you. If ev
or in life is there any record that / ev-
or raised my hand in the least against
you, or against any of your people, it 8
up to you to point it out. lido know
and can make the proof that have
spent several dollars on trains, going
to and from Jasper, looking after your
generation of people. don't care
very much whether such owls as you
ever give me credit in the least for
what did for your people in the past.
challenge you right here to come
forward and show cause why you
squirted off that simlin and owly head
Of yours If I see any more of your
slang appear in the News will bring
out your name in full and show the
reading public who you are and what
you are and what caused You to fall
out and attempt to throw off on DR.. N.
B. Moore. so put this right down in
that little head of yours for you have
plenty of room. 1t is time lost for you
to fool any time away trying to put in
and buck up against me. for l am too
old for you. I lived by your daddy
when you first saw the light and most
likely to be living by you when you
enter into darkness, and it's up to you
now to show me the light of your
charge, or otherwise / will drop you
into total darkness from whence no
ever returns. / will keep in |
close touch with you and your move
ments from now on, and probably may
