Quite a number of persons are now

them heartily. We wlBh our patrons

complain of being tired. Come on
friends, and try us. Brookvllle Dem

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

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.
