ignor amus inoompeteut to reply to or criticizo the production of a scholar such as he is well mr editor i confess my ignorance but i am not to blame i had the misfor tune of being born poor without the silver spoon in my mouth all the learning i have is the result of hard plodding and burning of the midnight oil i never even walked through a college indeed so far as i can now remember i never saw a college except in a picture ts it any wonder i am incompetent to cope with the genius of the scholar but with all my ignorance mr editor i know the ugly face of falsehood when i soe it which ho does not appear to do he whines out against you for not endorsing him in his evil advocacy how could you do so mr editor without perjuring your conscience let him undertake to write in the interests of a good cause and you are with him he further says respectable people of rck- wood are indiguant at you for your editor ials on this subject ic this is another evidence of his garbjfd statements the respectable portion of rockwooda citizens ore pleased with your manly outspoken statements of truth and never was the fiux pilesi as popular in this community as now he says he is sorry for this con troversy owiug to the om of friendship acton will sustain deplorable acton doomed to abandonment irreparable loss sad bereavement will yoa put on mourning mr editor now i did cot intend toproloug this
