(To the Kditor) Lately wh liav wit nessed several unprovoked, cowardly, brutal assaults upon a number of our prominent citizens by a local news paper, wherein the aforesaid persons were held up to dldicule, scorn and contempt, and a number of other peo ple, friends of the bilious editor, were txtoliel for their many good qualities. It is not our purpose to say who is right, and who is deserving of re buke, but it ought to be that a de cent minded, honest, concienous man, a taxpayer and a factor in the community, be protected from vicious assault of men suffering with cancer of tue intestines, or catarrh of the brain. One's good name is the most valuable asset be can have a posses sion more worthy tbau anything else ha can possess. Vet we are greeted to a spectacle of men's good names draygd down to the dust and ruth less y trampled upon by whom? Is it rinht and fair taat one should set himself above his fellows and say "I am holier than thou'.'" Is it fair that men deserving of respect should be abused like felons? Can any good purpose be thus served? Will so ciety or government be btnefittid by these tactics employed by a man who ; is a 'Knocker; one that attempts to destroy in his feeble rnlg.it without trying to build up.

The con cern worked a good deal on the same plan as the Columbia Orchards com pany, which went bankrupt and left so many farmers in the lurch.
