casm thrust at him, by the writer, in
the issue of April 7tl1, made complete
failure, and in his irascible mood last week
'tumbled all over himself in acknow-
lodging that he acted doltishly. He even
admitted that he made an ass of himself
the following Tuesday. and we give him
credit for having sense enough to know
that he did. You are right, ''Pry; there
isn't any doubt but that You made your
self quite conspicuous in your strenuous
effort, by stamping your feet about the
courthouse in order toimpress those with
whom YOU came in contact that the cause
for which You were fighting, and in
which you were perfectly absorbed, was
a noble and righteous one. It's alright
to feel keen interest in your town-we
do and step about with activity in be-
half of a good and honorable purpose, -
but sometimes one can overstep the line
in his activities to promulgate something
which he thinks will iuure to the benefit
of his town, and this we believe is what
Pry' did. We are at a loss to know
what 'Pry" means when, in speaking of
Clerk of the Peace Davis, he saws: we
will do anything to compliment him for
his great kindness and services in our
recent difficulty Does he mean to in
fer that this honorable gentleman and
himself by their influence caused the
grand jury TO ignore the bill against his
worthy and innocent neighbor and c,i-
zen?'' If this be the case-and how other
could great kindness and services be
rendered in such difficulty God
save the grand jurors of dear old Sussex
County if they will be swerved from per
forming their duty BY outside influences
or otherwise. II is up to the Elleudaie
writer to clear up any false impressions
he has unknOwingly made, OF else here
after forever hold his peace. We do not
wish to utilize our allotted space each
week for arguments, but with the per
mission and indulgence of the editor we
will take a few pointers from our old
friend 'Pry." In the language of the
street, Here's to YOU"
