We think the itemizer known as lonesome Joe has been wrongly named, and that the proper name that would suit him better, is Meddlesome Joe, to correspond with his impudent slanders he has been writing on his neighbors for the last month. The one occuring in his items in last week’s issue, was a false report ami can be proven as such. Now it is time for him to stop his meddling with other peoples business and get his bible and study the ten commandments and obey them and take the golden rule as a guide. Do unto others as you wish them to do unto you. We know Lonesome Joe personaly and suppose him to be a gentleman, eminent in society, but since he has so belittled him self by slandering his fellowmen, we have concluded that he is the man to send to Washington to Just the seats in the senate chamber to sweep cobwebs from the walls and clean spittoons. Now Lonesome Joe, we hope you will chase eff your superfluities and cease writing untrue items, and slanders, and be a man.
