BLACKSTONE NOTES.


- =
Blackstone, Va. July 2S.-The
writer for this column is in receipt
tf an unsigned communication. ask
ing il he was going to send in for
publication in said column an ac,
count Of an incident which the send
or Of the communication alleges oc
CURED last week, which as far as
we can sce If it really occurred, was
solely OF concern to the parties in
volvcd, and Of nc concern whatever
to The pubic The writer of the ant
onymous communication further
states that everything else is publish
cd in this column, and demanded
that this he published also. Now this
cannot he true, as our readers well
know for if it were. no doubt there
would he mighty black word picture
painted of this anonymous writer.
However. IL we have published any
thing too good about this writer OF
this communication, since We are
accused &C publishing. "cverything
else" whether 1t be true or false, we
hereby apologize for same But we
hardly think our conscience would al
low us to say something that was
too bad about such a coward as this
anonymous writer.
Having been associated with n
newspaper for the past ten years, we
are not at all discouraged by this
communication since no one con-
ouc'mg paper or writing ,Afor one
can please all the people. There ia
always some one who knows moro
ABOUT how it should be run than tho
one VINO is running it," And there
are some who will discontinue their
subscription because the editor does
'ot publish certain article lust the
wa! they want it published But In
e'ch such case, two more new sub
scribers will come in.
Since writing for this column -.
at all times heretofore wc hovn
tried to extend the same courtesy io
all. Then why could not this person
'''..e up us n man or as Il woman.
anu not as Il namclcss coward and
''N the questions they wished to ask
'hu make the demand they wished to
n''he. we would suggest that the
