Show What We Think About It For the benefit of a limited few who get offended if we don't publish some ! articles just as they woula like, we will 1 just say that we have an eye to our business and often it would be injurious to the business as well as to the community com-munity from which it came. Let us state plainly that we are here to pub- lish the good things of our county first j and under no consideration, if we are j young in the business, will we condecend to take up any petty grievances of any individual. No, if you have any real fist fights brewing for the future please take the trouble and fight it out yourself, your-self, and don't expect us to spar for you. It has been stated, so it comes to our ears, that it has been Baid of us tbat ' i we are young in the business, and in one case it is reported that we are to be j taught our business. We are real glad that we are wor thy of notice, and we really feel like patting ourselves on the . back. I Did you ever think how difficult it ia j to serve two masters? Some of our t good friends are very offended if we ; dare to mention their names while , others will stand around with noses pressed against our front windows, too bashful to come in, but still want credit in the paper for a visit. We get kicked kick-ed if we do and cuffed if we don't, so we have decided to give definite notice that we will keep in view the general good of the county and our own welfare wel-fare and do as we please whether we please all the people or not. Remember, too, that the wisest hea Is are not always on the oldest shoulders. We really profess to have a few ounces of gray matter at the Progress office if we are young in the business. Come and talk with us and see if we haven't spoken the truth. |
