Show Offers to Sell Out. Nephl, April IB. The millennium has como In Nephl. The editor of the Record Re-cord has wearied of his pen; taunted by the Commercial Club for his failure to "boost" the organization and help tho town, and for his sins of omission in the socIbI lino, ho has offered to "lay down" and sell out to tho club. The Commercial Commer-cial Club charged that the editor-held himself aloof from Ita work, and discordant discor-dant knocks were heard at the. door of tho sanctum so persistently that J T Pyles, tho manager has cried "enough." Editor Pyles presents a unique proposition pro-position to the Commercial Club. Ho offers to step down and out, If tbo club members will go down into their jeans and dig tip the price. A committee of three unbiased citizens, ho suggests, arc to appraise the plant, set a value upon it, in all justice to both parties, and tho Commercial Club is to buy tho paper. What will happen it the club refuses, no one hero can say. Incidentally, Mr Pyles reminds the subscribers of Ihcir arrearage In dues; of tho bljls long unpaid, and of other cares of tho editor. Ho says others were driven out of tho town because they were too aggressive, and that while he has tried to bo a peaceable party, be has galled utterly. All these things, and , some more, he tells tho palpitating pub- lie in impassive typo the covers the tlr.st page of today's paper. Now It Is up to the club. Inter-Mountain Republican. |
