Mt.Ayr’s New Editor Evidently Intends to be Very Hostile.

F. B. Robertson, the mew editor of! ttihe Mt. Ayr Pilot, evidently Intends to. become very hostile to the town of! Rensselaer, Judging from the appended! .article Since Rensselaer newspapers! gave Robertson a big jpadf when he| took the paper over from Lesley Miller sand inasmuch as Rensselaer merchants i are liberal advertisers in'the Pilot, we mre wondering what basis there is in the grudge. But if the editor don’t think Rensselaer is going to have a 4th of July celebration, he can just mtay away and see if we care. Rens•Selaer is on the map, all right, gets, the crowds, pleases them, and the celebration this year will be no exception,' Robertson or no Robertson, Pilot or Pilot. Here is what the Pilot says: Rensselaer' will have a celebration on the 4th. Do you believe it? I don’t. It never had enything to call a crowd hat a foot hall team, nothing to let people know that the town was more than a fly speck on the map aside from the McCoy bank failure. You newspaper fellows needn’t deny It. If you do, my friend Lou Shirer, formerly of Jasper’s celebrated sand dunes, will invite you to his honor’s circus.
