Be careful, people.
'1 he Griffin Call says “one man
has assailed General Evan’s War
Record, now let another sail into
his Christianity,and the campaign
will he open.” All right, now sup
pose Griffin defends the war re
cord, and if it becomes necessary,
let Rome take care of his assault
ed Christianity—why even Mr.
Max Meyerbeardt would under
take the job, so intent is he on
tendering his valuable services in
this campaign.
Typographical errors are fre
quent in these days of much print

following error wi 11 never be sur
passed in this or any other age;
“May they always live in peace and
harmony,” was the way a marriage
notice should have wound up, but
the compositor, who couldii-t read
manuscript very well, put it in tyj e

The Tribune’s editorial under
the captain of “Only a S ildier” is
a “lulu.” The argument is brilliant
ware it based on facts, but even
fair minded man, who knows the
parties to that editorial, know that
:be writer either did net know .Mr.
Atkinson, or known g him only
sought to slander him. The truth
of the business, is. that tha man
who wrote that article was writing
it to be copied iuto the Atlants
papers. Atkinson will win this
fight, as ho usually does, and as
usual he will win it by fair fight
ing and no mudslinging. Let the
little Tribune emulate his exam

The latest and most serious
charge pri fur d against Mr. At

Gen rd Evans, and claiming the

tells of a strong Atkinson follow

of the time and attention of the

“While the Constitution and the

will ocly be by a small margin.
