Last week we published an article
under the above caption, written by a
gentleman who has been a winter vis

was' not our views, but that jwe gave
in merely to show how : we looked to
outsiders, t hoping that our people
would take it in the spirit, in which it
was intended. If there is nof grounds
for the complaint, then nobody is
hurt. If such conditions actually ex
ist, then the gentleman is doling us a
favor in pointing them out.
But in some things we do riot agree
with the writer of the letter. In oth

not correct. -
We do deny the charge that we are

which is with us twelve months in the

Tryon needs is for some firm to ar
