noticed some few weeks ago in
ssRaw1 Items where the correspon-
dent said that if the people at larry
town had a crow to pick with Rawl
people come to the Lords Side. This
was said in regard 10 some false state
ments about John Miller committing
suicide and Pearl Marphley being
married. Since then have been in
formed that the writer had reference
to .sMr. Peanut" the ex-corresprond-
ent at Steamtown. He was entirely
mistaken, it was not Peanut but if he
has a crow to pick with Peanut he
must come to the progressive side.
