BY PAUL PRY
: So Paul Pry is asked to apologiz
2 to the Ellendale Swampers for com
: menting upon the affair which the,
? staged ecently-accOrding to an iten
= in the Milford Chronicle inspired. OF
authorized by one of the members O.
that community, which appeared il
last weeks issue. What is to be apol.
Ogized for? Is it for writing the facts,
Their festival was a failure as We
wrote. The managers of the affair
oHered hVe gallons OF the ice cream to
the demonstrating that they did not
pay expenses am responsible fo1
that statement as fact. Are we to
apologize to the swampers for stating
the facts?
The whole trouble seems to be in an
attempt to carry on two affairs of
more or less public interest at the
same time and date, in practically the
same community. The firemen were
attempting to raise money for fire
fighting apparatus to protect the
homes and property of the people. On
the other hand the Swampers were
attempting to raise money to buy a
tent and carry out purposes to benefit
children and their parents who are
interested in agriculture and better
farming policies.
am for the tremen first because
it is for MY OWN benefit directly and
the other is for benefit which can
only come to those who come after
men and women CT tie present CAV
have passed frC.n the scenes OIL the
present. My attitude is taken on the
basis of belief, that it was the pur-
pose of the Swampers to break down
the success of the iremen's festival
for that reason l was and am against
them. 1 have no apology to make in
this issue or this question. This ends
the controversy as far as 1 am con-
cerned.
After suffering a thousand deaths
from gangrean on her leg from which .
she was PROSTATE for years, Mrs.
Lemuel HolstOn passed peacefully |
away at her home near town on Fri /
day last, where she and her four
children lived prosperously after her
husbands death. The funeral took
place at Union Church, and after an
elegant sermon by Brother Barrett,
the remains were laid beside her hus- /
band where they sleep the peaceful
Slumber in death, side by side.
