Show WHY COUNTY? For the information of a local contemporary wc rise to explain. He does not' know why we use the name County. Well, our reason is that the paper is going to be a County Coun-ty Paper, for it will try to deal with j some subjects which may be of interest in-terest outside of Ephraim. We do not claim to be particularly bright, hence don't see where the "joke" otnesin. ' We admitit is rather tough when a resident of Manti is in doubt if it meat San Pete County. Why of course it is San Pete. Ephraim 1 is in San Pete County, . although the aforesaid resident of Manti may not have known it before. We are pleased to learn that the" Sentinel is strong enough to support the county through the "burlesque" and to become a "back bone" s j to speak, on which it may lean. The "back bone" after mature reflection re-flection concludes to be friendly to our enterprise, notwithstanding It does "not know kc," The lion takes compassion on the mouse and grants it the great boon of life, for which the mouse is truly grateful. While we thank the Sentinel for its forbearance forbear-ance and magnanimity, arid are willing will-ing to bow before the shrine of its vast experience and mighty influence, we wish to say the "promoters" of this paper have, in their past efforts, been reasonably successful, and trust that the future holds no serious misfortune for them; and the paper may thrive on the crumbs that fall from the rich man's table, and secure the patronage which might be too insignificant for the notice of a powerful pow-erful paper like our contemporary. We are willing to reach upand shake the hand of our big friend, and in our humble way return the fraternal courtesies offered. |
