Blackstone, Va. July 2S.-~The
writer for this column is in receipt
1f an unsigned communication, ask
ing IL he was going to send in for
publication in said column an nc.
count of an incident which the send
or of the communication alleges oc
CURED last week, which as far as
we can see, 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 ait
onymous communication further
states that everything else is publish
ed in this column, and demanded
that this he published also. Now this
cannot BIZ true, as our readers well
know for If it were. no doubt there
would he a mighty black word picture
painted of this anonymous writer.
However, If we have published any
thing too good about this writer OF
this communication, since we arc
accused cf publishing. Everything
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 n coward as thin
anonymous writer
Having been associated with Il
newspaper for the past ten years. we
are not at all discouraged by this
communication since no one con-
oucthg paper or writing .afor one
can please all tho people. There IA
always some one who knows more
ABOUT how it should be run than tho
ono who Is running it." And there
are some who will discontinue their
subscription because the editor does
NOT publish certain article lust tho
way they want 1t published. But In
each such case, two more new srh
scrlbcrs Will come in
Since writing for this column, IA
at all times heretofore, wo have
'rled to extend the SAME courtosy tn
all. Then why could not this person
coliie up rs man or as a woman.
anu not MS namelcss coward. ana
ask the questions they wished to asl,
ana make the demand they wished to
make. We would suggest that tbr
writer of the communication in once
zion get his or her bible. if such
,here be on their promises, II nor
porrow one, and read E,c seth CHM,
cr proverbs. and give special ottep
ZION TO the 9th verse. 1t is NOT tbe
p". pose OF lhlS paper 10 pull down
',s 'ieihber OF the race, but 10 do
"r"t IS IN its power to elevate.
