Jeff Davis

MT. Editor: I think it's about my turn in this so-called Southerner con- troversy, as it was in reply to my truthful claim that the only differenee between the traitor Buchanan and the present occupant of the White House is Buchanan armed Jeff Davis, an American rebel and Wilson allowed arms to be sent at will to Villa, . Mexican rebel
 The hurrah that has been kicked up proves that The Bulletins letter col :, umn is well read.
 In regard to the so-called tperhaps should say self styled) Southerner, his dope reads not like a woman, as one of his critics asserts, but like that article we had here in New England during the war that was so much worse than a southern rebel. It (the article) was named after our most poisonous serpent, Ccpperhead
 Take it from me, MT. Southerner is no asoutherner at all, but one of the survivors of that old copperhead crew that always stung the hand that fed them.

southerner Again Defends Her People.

Soufnerner A9aIn DefenGS Tier People.
 MT. Editor: I would like to inform A Veteran Soldier, Fair Play, and all who may hereafter reply to my letters who has been writing letters signed A Southerner. I do willingly admit that slavery was wrong, but was it not better for the negroes to be brought to this country, where they could be given an opportunity to improve and to become more enlightened, than to remain in a heathenish country with no chance whatever? My paternal grandfather was a negro slave owner who never bought Eor sold his ser wants. . A short time before he died he freed them all. I have never talked of his owner or "n,arster' in a most respectful manner.
 My paternal grandmother owned but two, Uncle Horace and Aunt Susan. They were given d small but comfort able house to live in and their freedom when they were married and continued to live on the home place until they died. A slave trader was no more re- spected in those days than a mean, grasping mill owner in these days. Having known Of so many, and having heard of so many more who were slave owners, like my grandparents. is 1t not but natural that I should wish to defend our people? I have oftimes noticed that the men who talked the most about taking up arms in the de- fense Aof this country did the least fighting when they were called upon Those who fought on tie union side believed they were right, just as the confederates felt it their duty to take up their sword to defend their state rights.
 A Veteran Soldier did admit that he was treated kindly by the people while there. I am glad that he does them that honor, if no more.
 Whenever I hear one unjust and unkind remark made by a northerner or a disloyal southerner against our beloved and honored Lee, Davis or anyone who fought on the confederate side, and The Bulletin will give me room to do so. I shall defend their memory just as soon as I would my own kindred, especially if they are spoken of as traitors.

LoAVEs TOO BROWN.

If your bread has been baked in too hot an oven and the crust has become too brown, wait until the loaf has cooled and then rub 1t over a coarse grater. You will find that this method removes the burned portions much better than by cutting 1t off with knife.

For use on children's cloths, lingerie or fine b1ouses, a good imitation of pin tucking may be obtained by ma chine stitching.

It is this coarse thread which looks like the pin tuck and it is ever so much easier 60 do. It might be a good idea to loosen the bobbin screw very slightly in doing this work
