and large barrel of luscious apples
from Mr.. and Mrs. Delos Porter, OF
Ducombe, Iowa. Truly the editors
ways are ways of fruit fullness.
My little grandson, Kermit Lewis,
bright little fellow of six summers,
was sitting in his little chair the other
night thinking. After little while
ne said, Mama, know who were the
three best men who ever lived.
"Who are they my son?'
God, Jesus, and Geo. Washington.
Miss Sophia Johnson, of Bristol, and
Miss Tomena Strandness, who has
been holding down claims near Het-
finger were the guests of Miss Alice
Butler Monday. Miss Tomena is to
take the piece of Miss Hattie Ottum in
the establishment of Nelson q Burg
next Monday. Miss Ottum has made a
host of friends during her short stay
stay here, and we hate to have her
leave.
Well; now We'll rest and eat one of
the nuts Dickey sends US in the last
issue of the Optimist.
Let US see. "Uncle Potter gets
funny" Sure, he always does.
''But we consider the source from
which it came" Sure, that's right.
1T is very pleasing to note the inter-
est the Budget takes in our welfare"
sure, couldn't help it.
Had we got the patronage of the
Butler people that rightfully belongs
to us things might have been different"
Sure, you would hive hai more money
to spend for whiskey.
Speaking of Butler being big, why
the comparison between the two towns
is like comparing an OK hack to the
cave"
As he has given US the name of no
other town in his article, we can't tell
if his comparison is correct, but Wen
take the cave and say. Sure, certainly.
'Just pick the meat out of this,
while crack you another one." Sure
we've done it.
Well now Dickey boy, you must have
got your feet wet while gathering the
nuts for US, and unless prompt, heroic
measures are used, you are liable to
have softening of the brain.
Now stand up to the crib, open your
mouth and take your medicine like a
little man, for I'm going to handle you
without gloves.
During all the time you published
the Butler Herald here, you never
wrote an editorial upon any subject
Of interest or upon any topic agitating
the minds of the reading public.
You never wrote an article booming
our town, speaking a good word of I
your patrons, or in any way having
good word of any of our institutions
either social, moral or religious.
When first you took charge of the
Herald the business men gave you
liberal patronage, but, because of your
oefuddled brain, or some other cause,
7ou made so many mistakes, some of
hem withdrew their patronage, and
lid the work themselves or sent it
elsewhere.
Had You spent the time in hunting
Tor news and items of interest to your
patrons that you did in the saloon, you
night have built ND paper FOR which
any inland town might have been proud
md had you saved a small portion of
he money you spent for beer and
upon your last trip to Web
tier, or nearly the last, after dead.
'eading your way up, you would not
rave had to walk back again because
1ou didn't have any money to pay
1our fare.
And now word to the readers of
he Budget, know a newspaper con-
roversy is not very interesting reading
or its patrons, but in the present case
seemed proper, but we promise 70 u
hat 30 far as the Budget is
concerned, no matter what the
revocation may be we shall take no
'otice OF it but will devote all our
nergies in giving you all items of
Importance and news we are able to
'rocure.
