Just a Few .Mor e Words Regarding Canada.

* (Continued from Page One)

found the country to be as fine as it would have its readers believe. Now just a word again as to Mr. George, who the Republican says refused to advertise his picture show in The Democrat. He did advertise with us until we wanted to see the color of his money, and after repeatedly having been put off with broken promises we finally got our pay—some $25 —after threatening to sue him, and then told him plainly that we did not want his advertising or job printing and would not take it under any consideration; that we did not care to earn our money twice; that he should take it all to the Republican for we did not want any of it- He was later dispossessed of the building where he run bis picture show. However, please understand that not a word derogatory to Mr. George nor of his and the Republican s Canadian land scheme was ever said in The Democrat until after he and the Republican had assailed us for publishing, without comment, the letter of the Duvalls.
