OFFICIAL PAPES TOWN CF LEMON Subscription, per year, - $1-00 Advertising rates on Application Entered as second-class, matter October 6, 1905, at the post office at Lexington, Or egon, under the Act cf Congress of March 3, 1879. THURSDAY JULY 26, 1906. Bro. Carter, of the Proclaimer, at tempted to give us a gcod warm roast ing last week and no doubt thinks we are done to a turn. He admits that Lexington had a band at the Heppner celebration, a fact he would not admit before, that's right brother, an honest confession is good for the soul. He denies that the lone band tried to se cure the services of the musicians of the Ford Show company. Come, after confessing to the authorship of the Oregonian article, casting a slur on the entire county, make a full con fession and the people may think bet ter of you. We do know that the lone band wanted the cornet player and off ered to engage all of them in order to get what they wanted. If lone had all the musicians they wanted why did they get two players from Heppner? Speaking of personally he says: "The trouble with Brother Thomas Is that when he tried to establish him self in the newspaper business in lone, some two years ago, he did not make connections and he has been as sore as a "bile" ever since at this town and paper. But realizing the coming im portance of Morrow county, he took the next best opening and started a paper in Lexington, and ever since the first month there he has lost no oppor tunity to "roast" us. As far as :the Proclaimer and its hard feelings to ward Lexington citizens. It has none. And we have donated more columns of praise to that thriving town than the . Wheatfield has slurs to lone. Come out of it, Brother Thomas! Be cheer fnl; take things as they really are and you will think more of yourself and others will do likewise." . While we were in the newspaper business at Arlington we were asked to come to lone and purchase the lone Post, but knowing that a plant had been purchased for lone and that the policy was to "freeze out" or purchase the Post at their own price, we turned the proposition down, knowing that two newspapers In lone was one too many. We know the man back of the Pro claimer and know that he has no time for us, and will leave no stone unturn ed to do us if possible. It might also be news to Bro. Carter, and the man behind, that less than one year ago the better class cf lone citizens offered as good inducements as the Lexington people were able to offer if we would take our plant to lone, this proposition wes turned down for the same reasons ' as the first. We have no sore spots for lone and her people, and have none but the friendliest feelings for them. The policy of the man behind the Pro claimer is, an i hss been, to take a shot at us at every opportunity. Bro. Carter is not entirely to blame as he has to jump every time the whip Is Cracked. This "man behind" got a cinch on us once, in an eastern state, and done us to a nice rich brown and is now attempting to drive us from Morrow county. Bro. Carter speaks of the Wheatfield throwing slurs at lone. "Let he who is innocent cast the first stone." The Proclaimer commenced casting slurs towards Lexington as soon as the Wheatfield was established, knowing full well that it could not expect future business from Lexington, and our people paid veil for past boosts, so commenced on the real policy of the "vhlp-cracker", rule or ruin. We know the man and never could make us jump. ; We dp not believe that the general public is Interested in personal "scraps" and does not care to have them aired through newspapers and so far as tne Wheatfield is concerned this will end the personal matter through these col umns, and should we continue the fight the people would think that we did not consider ourselves' above the common level maintained by this "whip-cracker" and his "jumping-jack." Howev er, the Wheatfield stands for Lexing ton and vicinity and is ready to defend them against the slurs of the Pro claimer and its "jack-in-the-box."

Mrs. Longworth appears to be show ing her husband a pretty good time in Europe. "Two pints of milk make one quart," says an exchange. So does one pint of milk and one pint of water. Adam and Eve were lucky. They had no fool friends who wanted to be funny when they started away on their honeymoon. A French doctor declares that all a man has to do to live 150 years is to make up his mind to do so. That sounds like a New Year resolution. The average pretty girl can teach a man more about love than he ever knew and she generally goes about it as if she understands all there is in the game. Adam had just succeeded after an exciting little struggle in getting Eve to stand still and be kissed. Looking up at him with earnest pleading eyes, she asked: "Am I the only woman you ever really loved?" "No,. . we're not going away this summer," said one woman. "I shall keep the house as cool as possible and have cool food and Iced drinks. At home we shan't have to bother to dress. Besides, we can all be togeth er and take little trips over Sunday. With the upstairs veranda and perfect comfort I think we can have a nice summer at home. Two young ladies hired a horse and buggy at a livery barn to drive out into the country. Before they started they asked if the horse was safe. The liv eryman said: "He's alright unless the rein gets under his tail." A few miles out In the country a shower came np, and the ladies stopped and got out and held an umbrella over the horse. A gentleman driving by asked them what the trouble was, to which one replied: "I am trying to keep the rain from getting under his tail." Bowel UoiupUlut in Children During the summer months children are subject to disorders of the bowels' which should recieve careful attention as soon as the first unnatural looseness of the bowels appears.
