tens assertion. He says: "The Citi-
zen has plant and business worth
every cent Of $4,000, and rather than
lose all our investment and years of
hard work, we have accepted an offer
to sell it for $4,000, fifteen hundred
of which must be paid on the mort
gage. The merchants of Bowman, we
are given to understand, are purchas-
ing shares in the business, and we are
informed that in the future the Citi-
zen will be merged with the other local
paper. To sum the matter up, we
have been squeezed out of business by
a deliberate boycott, aimed at us be-
cause we have dared to stand by the
farmers and the common people, and
for this reason we have decided to sell
and get something out of the business
before having to turn the lock on the
front door and lose all our years Of
