we are sorry you are sick, yet we

given your political spine such a
twist that no Cowetan expects you
to survive the campaign unless
you come over to Handy and drink

those germs that are sapping you
of county pride and that spirit of
“tit for tat” that should permeate
your whole political nature. “In

compatriots over there and get
them to see things as you see

on that score. Carroll is a great

times called the "free State,” and
when we hear a village correspond

like we did when we looked up
