'"A1o uAAA SlL, duQ IueFG , So muC4
good in the bad people and so much
cussed bad in the good people that We
should never dare to criticise each
other. How do we know what we
would do in the other fellows place.
Judge not that ye be not Judged
means do the best you can and mind
your own business. So nere's to you
as good as you are, and here's to me
as bad as l am; but as good as you are
and as bad as l am-I'm as good as
you are as Fqd as 1 mi think. But
of course l uoA know. Oh WELL"
1 feel like saying, 20, WELL" some
times, too, just like Buster said, and
yet there are some good people who
feel like they are privileged to criti-
else you, but if you dare to criticize
them they hold up their hands and
say, Suppose you try the job, if you
know so much about it." Well,
reckon it is best to mind your own
business, and yet feel sometimes if
l didn't nave something to say about
things that didn't go just as
think they should go, why, what in
the world would I write about?2 And,
yet, l reckon there are those among
the goody good people who think tnat
l shouldn't criticize any one. Well, to
be frank, 1 am going to say what I
think just as I think it, and I am go
ing to try to think honestly and right,
and if it doesn't suit other people, and
they think 1 am trying to attend to
their business, why they can just think
so, SO far as I am concerned, and I
don't care snap of my finger about
it. l have no favors to ask, and am
in no position to grant any, but am
going On saying what think so long
as the editor will print it, and I want
to say that it is always said in the
very best of good will and with no
intention to do injury or hurt to- any
one, but to help the whole. 14
said in my last that 1 was going
to talk about some things that
thought should be done in this town!
and I reckon there are those who will
be ready to say that he is kicking, and )
knocking, and don't care if there are,
and if they don't like what say, why
let them help themselves. I could
mention good many things that have
come about in this town as direct
result of what l have written, but
you couldn't get any Of the good peo-
pie to admit it, but 1 know it, and 1
don't care whether they admit it or
give me credit for it or not. know
when l am carried over to Rosemont
and laid quietly 20 rest, that they will
say he did a good work for this town,
and that will be satisfaction enough.
1 am not expecting anything in this
world except bare existence and suf-
ficient to keep me alive while I am
permitted to exist, and all they say
about me will do me no hurt.
Some one told me the other day that
a good lady who was walking along
the streets fell over fence that was,
but had decided no longer to be, and
had laid quietly down on the sidewalk,
and she came very near being badly
hurt. Fortunately she was not in-
jured. This is mentioned only to call
to the attention of the property owners
Of this town that it would be we'll to
look little more carefully after the
condition of their holdings and keep
their fences from trespassing upon the
property of the town and getting in
the pathway of the ladies. Look out
for my next. I am going to take a
whole night in which to write it, and
I am going to say some things that will
not please everybody, but what 7 say
will be the truth, and don't you ever
