"Annie Laurie" we are sorry to find
you in such a fearful condition. With
feathers turned the wrong way and back,
npyou come charging in through an open
port hole. What is the matter with you?
Oh, one shot did hit you. Well you
should not havo been standing in the
way. You remind us of tho tjuaker who
went us a Eoldier, when on the firing 'ine
he raised his gnu, peeped through the
siahts,' and eaid "Friend I am sorry for
thee, hut thou stands riht where I am
going to shootr' Your position seems to
haye4i?en tmnilar to that of the ijiuker's
frienJ. This writer endorses all that
waB said by "Briar," we are near cf kin
you see, belong to the samo family us it
were. Bat "Briar" did not accosd yon of
falsifying, you were probably looking be
tween the lines for something yon did
not want to find ; it their wai any accus
ing it wns your own conscience. Yo:ir
brazen challenge to point out one in
stance where in you falsified is too email
for us to bother with; if you will make it
half a dozen we'll go you. You could
g!t a valuable lesaon from the message
that Pennoyer sent to Dewey, your alllic
tion is 'he same as Dewey 'a. Without in
tho least doubting ycur veracity, I will
ask you to do a little explaining. Ia
speaking of the action of the county
court, you say they threw into the waste
basket a remonstrance containing more
names than did the petition, did you not
make a mistake? Can you 'give us the
figures? You know thai figures wont
lie, in that they differ from OlalU you
see. Now "let facts be submitted to
candid world." The other day in the
store we asked, a deaf and dumb man lor
his opinion of ttiat statement, for answer
he tainted to a can on the fchelf ; all that
could tee was "Concentrated Lye'
printed in bi white tetter, tho other
bevg laughed, even Jerry Simmons
laughed, and Jerry don't laugh for not li
icg. Still I couldn't see where the fun
cams in. can you? Laurie, 1 am real
eorry that we don't agree, for I have
known the people of Ten Mile more
years than I have fingers and toee, I am
not one of the cloven footed gentry you
see, unu 1 am giail to teetily that there
are many many good, Christian people
there. Now don't charge me with ac
cusing you cf belonging to that class; far
frcm it. Liurio, we're a had lot over
here, please don'v charge in through any
more port holes, we might close the
port and compel you to crawl out
throogh a knot bole.
