| We would have been more than salts
/ fed with d. A. C's. feeble effort to
apologize for his miserable attack upon
US in last weeks CHRONICLE, had he
adhered to the truth. When he says
that he can prove his assertion by Col
/ Townsend, we refute the statement by
saying that we called at the office upon
the Saturday in question and found that
the Colonel had gone to Wilmington that
morning on very important business, so
that it is easy to see that the whole
matter is without foundation. The only
way that d. A. G. can clear up his eX-
cuse for such malicious acts is to de-
clare that he was guilty of a breach of
common decency, and reserted to one of
his usual traits of false imagination.
then we will accept his pretense of
apology and excuse his weakness for
such a silly attempt to degrade whom he
admits has always been manly and pol
ite in his presence. There is one thing
certain we will not see, forgive or for
get d. A. c. for this experience. and
he may well keep his weather eye on
us in the future, for we sooner or later
get back at him, so beware.
The Shanahan factory closed its mon |
striOus seasons work and the foreign |
help have left for their homes. We will |
say to their credit, they have been the |
most decent set of foreign labor ever
brought here, as we have heard of no
stealing or bad conduct from them, as
has been the usual custom with import
ed labor. They have spent their money
freely among our farmers and business
men, and they will be much missed.
Harry Jester is starting up on pears
and now has 1900 baskets at his fac
ory, and he will also can sweet pota-
oes, thus giving at least two months
more work.
Our people were surprised at the an
of the marriage of Harvey
smith and Miss Helen Coverdale by the
rev. Taylor at Lincoln. We consider
his the best match made here. Mr.. !
mith is just q and bright and in
ustrious business man, while Miss Gov (
rdale. the second daughter of a pros !
erOus farmer tOwnsman, is pretty and
ut Is years of age, and exceedingly
and well liked by all who know +
er. A great future is in store for this Y
)uple. and we extend to them on be-
