A RATHER RANK DEAL

We were somewhat surprised at
the Political. article containing an
attack on. .pne Of our business firms,
in our contemporary last week, sign.
ed by Taxpayers" and even more
surprised that the article in question
did not react in the election on Tues.
day Of this week. In our judgment,
the pprnort was merely to spread an
unfortunate condition before the
people as scandal. 1t looked like
spite work to us and shows at least
mighty poor journalism. The day
when newspaper columns were used
for personal spite, has passed, and it
seems to us that no such scurrilous
attack can add to the fair name OF
DIR town.
1t is to be regretted snat this un-
called for attack on one of our most
progressive business firms should
have been made. We don't know all
the facts in the Case or who is to
blame. but we do know that Holyoke
is much pleasanter place in which
to live and do business In. for the en-
terprise of F NJ. Smith & Son. who
own and operate the Ice Plant the
Creamery, and Drug Store. all of
which are a great business asset to
this town. The Herald is not here to
pull down but to give the news of
town. county and state, clean and up
lifting. fit to be read in the homes and
business Offices Of our citizens. So
here's for better. bigger town and
prosperous farming community. that
can only be brought about by all of
us pulling together.
