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."

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

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."
