The pages of history and weather lore have been examined as far back as 1889 and 90. ♦ ♦ ♦ (Continued from page one) Today there are a half dozen suiK pending against the tnan, yet he strives gallantly to turn every attempt to seek redress through courts of justice into another feather in his cap. To sum it all up. our self-appointed apostle of “free press” certainly has been feeding that “great grand jury the people." a lot of twisted hooey and downright lies to encourage them to render a verdict in his favor. Charges of “double-deal'ng, crooked to the core politics, dishonesty and violation of public trust" are coining home to roost with the Hogwallow scribe, and he still attempts to shift the blame to his adversaries. He even claims The Miner is published by another news paper, edited by an employe of that newspaper, and all the while he knows full well—there is no doubt—that his interpre is nothing but a downright tation of the situation as printed i falsehood. He simply covers up. after conveying the idea, by saying “we are reliably informed” and “it is the concensus of opin'on of disinterested parties.” The Miner, although a half-pint weekly just completing its first year of existence, does not choose to throw mud and then wriggle out on a grammatical technicality. We’ll come right out and definitely state in plain English what we know to be a fact : Our contemporary is a rubber-check writer. He will pay his labor only when met with an ultimatum. His word can not he depended upon. He deliberately and knowingly tells but half the evident- truth and purposely paints distorted pictures of conditions as thev exist. , . Now do you wonder why we have been endeavoring, through a series of short articles each week, to tell the real truth about Jackson countv’s self-appo:nted reformer? Would you remain silent when such a man was accusing all his neighbors—some of them friends of yours—of every henious and dishonest crime imaginable? just one more thing. The Miner fears no libel suit, exen though one has been threatened. There is no libel in calling, a bar a liar.___________________ Our cold, dry moon was slightly intoxicated last week. ♦ ♦ ♦ Barristers hanging around the court house indicate that all that is lacking is a warm day and a good queen to put out a right size able swarm. ♦ ♦ Our wise men of the east are now trying to balance the budget on the rounded shoulders of the lower strata of society. + + ♦ We carrieth water all summer Until away along late in the fall; This winter sure is a hummer, There isn’t any water at all.
