There are other editors that would enjoy the same kind of work and the editor of The Star Is one ot the others. Did you see the new comet between six and seven o'clock last evening? It appeared in the western sky, a little to right and below the evening star. The Rem Town. Knocker.Agatn, ''Says I to myself, says I," wbo signs himself "Out uf the Many," is just the fellow we are, after. He is the real stuff for a "town knocker" and no one can dispute It. The article lu the Ibbuo of January 12th hit blm and hit him hard, and now be is trying to kick and wnat a mess be is making of It. First we find him pimlng as a humorist. "SayB I to myself, says I." Does any person see any humor in Mb article ? Certain ly not, but it Is filled up with premed itated onslaught on two institutions in the town that "Says I" don't like. Mext be comes as a mathematician and gives us the ratio of our high prices as being 6 to 1 to what be can get goods elsewhere. It does seem to the reason able individual that this Is a prevari cation of sufficient magnitude to be spelled with three letters. Tblnk of Itl What costs you six cents in Reynolds ville you can get for one cent other places. He admits the merchant here sells soap for 5 cents a bar. Now he must get his for one sixth as much, or five-sixths of one cent. Pretty'cheap soap, I tell you, and It is a great won der, when soap is so cheap for him, that he does not use more of it to oleanse his fault-finding disposition. He afterward reduces this ratio very much when be breaks upon us his pre mium bubble of Buffalo or Pittsburgh, Wonderful mathematician. Next he would want us to accept Elm as a prog nostlcator of store etiquetto In toiling us bow the grocers' clerk and the butcher should take care of their cus tomers. No doubt it would require a great amount of slobbering to courtesy to "Says I." He says the butcher will charge you 22 cents a pound tor chicken wbeu you can get the same in Pittsburgh lor 15 cents a pound. We challenge him to produce the market quotations to prove It. If he has, he must have gotten the medical almanao and mistook the signs ot the zodiac for the markets and If he visited Pittsburg he must have got his eye on some campaign rooster and mis took his age for the prioe. January 1st dressed chickens were selling In Pitts burgh at 35 cents a pound and was sell ing January 20th at 33 cents. Tbls In formation we bad direct from the re tail market. Take the newspaper quo tation for the same date and It Bhows 22 cents a puuud for dressed chicken with but the feathers removed and com plete the dressing process and it ad vances them to 33 cents. I challenge him to contradict, by market facts, the above figures. January 20th fresh but ter was selling in the Pittsburgh retail market for 45 cents a pound and fresh eggs at 45 cents a dozen. We simply say "Says I" does not know what he is talking about and I challenge him to produce tacts to the contrary. I chal lenge blm further or any of the "Many" to select twenty of the staple articles used in the household and get the stan dard market price, using as a basis the unit of measure, in Pittsburgh, Buffalo and as many towns as you please and make a fair average and If Reynolds ville is not at par, or below, any of them, we, as business men, will see to it that It is corrected at once. Be fair and come around with your evidence. You speak of your success in buying ten dollars worth of goods and getting a five dollar premium. Well this Is the place "where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be wise." We challenge you to produce the evidence where you re ceive ten dollars' worth of goods and a premium of Ave dollars, for ten dollars paid, and If you are honest your, proof will show weight ot package and qual ity ot the articles you get with your premium proposition. You do not give this in your article and we now give you a chance to show it. We must have facts, as wild assertions have long since dropped out of legitimate business. You ask for courtesy for your money as woll as goods. I believe there is as fair courteous treatment shown by the bus-, iness men and clerks of Reynoldsville as any town in Western Pennsylvania, but if the business man was to tell what he receives from such customers as "Says I," It would not pass the rules of hog etiquette, for he cannot enter a place .of business to purchase but he criticises the goods and calls the pro prietor's attention to his system of rob bing him. Poor fellow, he is to be pit ied for be cannot help it, as that is just the size of bis calibre. We feel sorry for his Ignorance. Lastly he says he pays his bills and we will not doubt his word, but he is certainly "One of the Many" in this particular, for no person knows better than the business man what class of people buys for cash. He finally quits by signing the article "One of the Many," trying to make It appear he has a whole army to his support. We haye heard very many persons comment on "Says I" and the one concise opinion is that they did not believe there was another individual In the whole com munity with as much business lgnor- IftnnA vantuj tn an ItfflA KMa Now, Mr. Knocker, when you knock again won't you at least state one single logloal argument based on faot, so it will cause us to do some thinking, as answering your "Says I" article Is too much like a waste of time. Shoot your heaviest volleys for the facts are here to meet them. One op the Guilty. Some men's Walk-Overs price 14.00, now 11.98. Adam's Boot Shop.
