LOCUMTERSES.
A MISTAKE CORRECTED,
Newspaper men are often mis
taken and are led to publish things
not altogether true. Last week we
published an account of a Wild
Man supposed to have been seen
by Messrs. Tatum and Quinton,
but it now turns out that there was
0
no Wild Man at all, only the gen
tlemen above named happened to
meet off in the Sitton Gulf and
each thought the other to be a wild
man, and both fled in opposite di
rections. It was not till they had
gotten together and began relating
their adventures that they discov
ered the mistake into which they
had led an innocent editor. We
are always willing to correct errors,
and are glad to say we were mis
taken in regard to the Wild Man
article of last week,

THIS DO BEAT ALL.
Our worthy contemporary, the
C’tizeu gives up the following,
after quoting our little tirade on
the local merchants:
“The Dade County News is the
name of a paper published at Tren
ton, in the State of Dade, It is a
very good paper and has an inde
pendance of style that may be very
laudable ; but whether it is ex
ercised with disreetion is another
thing. Our not very amiable con
temporary is now engaged in a
warefare with the merchants of his
town, The last issue of the paper
contained a large space in the ad
vertising cohnns with the following
significant vords. Sacred to the
memory of the Dade county mer
chants. It begin to get interesting
when the paper gets down editori
ally to say, etc. It may not be
any of cur business but at the
same time we cannot help but be
lieve such a warfare on part of
a nwespaper against any class of
people of its town is ill advised.
One of the greater needs of a news
paper to a town is to build up and
not tear down. The soul of the
News editor may have been tor
turted by the refusal of his mer
chants to patronize his paper, but
on this account he should not let
his temper get the better of his
judgement The only; excuse to
see for hie action is that, the mer
-0
chants my really be extortions and
if this be the case they will merit
their punishment.”
To theicharge of “indiscretion”
and a lack of amibility we might
effectly plead to the juris
diction of our most worthy court,
and be decided as the
Citizen intimate—that “it is -nome
of their business,” but as you tstre
too little Charley to understand all
these things w r e will just explain.
Our business is as much
the patronage of our .ocal mer
chants, as they deserve our pat
ronage and that of our citizens,
and when they fail to patronize us
it isjnot our duty to build them to
the injury of the larger class of ouj
patrons’ We fought, we bled, but
we didn’t die—we won. Look at
that thatjspace you refer to in the
South-easLcoroner of our paper,
aou ,/\ m-» sign of our
victory. We werr on the right side
and were bound to win. Now just
confess "it was none os your bnsi
ines,” and that you “did not un
derstand” dear Chrrley, and you
may go. ,
Our opportunities for knowing
what we should do, and bow we
should conduct our ewu paper in
our own locality we think, should
give oiu ideas some precedence in
this matter, although the most
high and worty Citizen should as
sume the right to dictate our
u
course. Without claiming to know
anything of the facts, the citizen
is able to condem our action. There
is something more than human in
all this ability displayed by the
editor of .the Citizen, audit is a
regular kuee-shaker for the News
to contemplate such superiotiry in
‘‘discretion, amiability',” and gen
eral journalistic qualifications.
