The little bald-headed miscreant
Who presides over the columns of the
Elk Democrat, last week venomously
attacked us in his usual personal and
Billingsgate style. Now we detest
newspaper controversies, but if this
unscrupulous and notorious little black
guard Is 'determined to to malign the
character of any one in this vicinity it
will become our duty to treat him as
his own malicious character dictates.
He la conceited beyond measure, ego
tistical in the extreme and devoid of
principle. As to his character it is
such that the least said about it the
better, yet nothing could be said that
would add to its debauchery, lie pre
sides over the columns of the Demo
crat, if not fraudulently, mysteriously,
and from this position His Fraudulent
Highness has for years persistently
defamed the characters of public and
private citizens, without cause or
provocation, but simply for the grati
fication of his own envious and ill-natured
disposition. In conclusion we
have but to say that if "Skippy" Mil
ler is not satisfied, and is still deter
mined to force the fight which lie
inaugurated without cause, let the ball
continue to roll and we will guarantee
him satisfaction should it even be "war
to the knife, knife to the hilt." "Lay
on Macduff, and damned be he who
first cries, hold ! enough."
