(Continued 1 ext week) Moore of It. New Eba, Jan. 0. Mr. Starlight, or Bill Starlight, did you see any ladies going up the hill? If there wai none, then in your beautiful article that you had published you lied. No one else saw any. As for the slurs you published, I consider where they came from. Fools have no argument, tint gas and gab. Of all creatures, I most diBpise a man who will write and publish lies. I find in the last report of the commis sioners the names of eeveral relatives that drew J-froin the taxpayers of the county $57.72 out of $91.78 for work in December, and their names are Bremer. This shows that the Bremen don't em ploy their relatives I I notice another littld item in the report: The name of C. Biemer, a minor, also the name of R. Bratte, which means R. Bradley, an other minor. There is a law that pro vides a penalty for employing minors or non-taxpayers to do road work. There may be others that can be called hun dred dollar men. I will look this mat ter up at some other time. Hereafter when you write sign your name. Don't skulk behind any "Star lights." What I write I sign my name to, I know who you are. M. F. Moore.
