ABOUT THOSE RENSSELAER HOTS AT PARR. This incident no doubt would not have happened had it not been the third time that the young people -of Rensselaer had showed a spirit ot their superiority over the young people of Parr, by making fun and saying insulting things to them. But the latter had hertofore passed it-up, and like the man that was kicked, they considered the source. But this time the Parr boys thought would do the kicking and let the Rensselaer people do the considering, and it has been considered to the limit at this place. While we don't vtsh to endorse any such conduct as egging anybody. neither do we endorse or indulge any such conduct as the Rensselaer people have been showing towards the Parr people, at and since the mayor of Parr held that big tent meeting. But the eggs were thrown and the boys have been justly and severely criticised for it. But the Parr boys were not to blame only in part for the disturbance at the box social, if you want to call it a disturbance. Neither was it the private sale of those boxes alone. But it was the spirit and attitude in which this sale was conducted together with the actioh of some of the girls before and after the heroes of the scene came upon the stage of action. It seemed that their wearing apparel was all nice and good enough for all that was present, until the heroes appeared, when they almost went up in a flurry by "Oh, My! What shall I do? Those Boys have come and here I am not dressed!" Of course they were, but not in their opinion to suit those young heroes, and modified the case by putting on their cloaks. We hope that another such an event will never occur in our little village of Parr and that all may reason and be benefltted by this occurrence, as there is a lesson in it for both sides—the targets and the shooters. We are glad the boys of Rensselaer got out alive. Of course they would, under the pilotship of our mayor, W. L.
