our Brodhead friend In regard to the
paltry sum of $500 raised here foi
the benefit OF the Army Y. M. c. A.,
will say III the outset that we will
admit that this was a small amount
and we would have been pleased
had it been much more as we know
that the Y. M. G. A. is a great thing
but this is all that was made up

We have purchased over $2,5000G

We are patriotic. Can our friend

can't be patriotic, as our friend calls
it. So, Mr.. Robins. take it all and
all, Livingston is not so bad after
all. While we never have had one
word TO say against the good peO-
pie of Brodhead, nor do we wish tC
speak aught against them, but wisl
to say to our friend that every man
has not the good fortune as to be
born with a silver spoon in his
mouth, as is the case with some
we could mention. Our friend sale.

and had accepted a position as
Deputy judge under Dr.. X. u. Webb
We will say this is a sad mistake
We Democrats are i'll control of the
United States and the State, and We
want you G. o. P.s to have the little
town offices. Now, Mr.. Robins, if
you wish to meet with as good 6
people as the Sun ever shown up
on or as patriotic, who have given
up their sons to help Uncle Sam
win glorious victory in France; /.
people whose latch string is always
on the outside, come TO Livingston
and you can meet them. Perhaps
you will meet them with theiI
overalls on and black from the days

are not the high colored class or the
