We appreciate the observa-

sneak, anonymous attack made
against your editor last week.
The consensus seems to be
this underhanded action was
designed to hurt Hazel a n d
help the Herald" regardless o.
who a responsible - and it
is just as generally conceded
that it has boomeranged.
Holmes County is a place
whose citizens, with few ex-
ceptionS, behave decently ano
honorably at all times and be-
lieve in fair play for everyone
and they are repulsed by any
other kind of behaviour.
Holmes County people do not
believe in conspiracies, econo-
mic boycotts or reprisals - and
sooner or later, anyone who adj
vocates such force tactics will
himself feel the same lash.
We did not nave this type of
thing in our county before the
Holmes County Herald was born
- and we will not have it after
the Herald is gone.
President John F. Kennedy is
getting America ready for wal
- and at the same time IS
making it quite plain to all the
world America does not want
war.
The sober-faced President
brought a sober message to this
nation and all citizens should
make it plain that we are be-
hind him, that we will not b.
