A Fair Warning.
The junior editor of this paper is not
acquainted with thu editor of the Holt
county I'rcss. The former came hero r.
si ranger a lew mouths ago, brinstng
testimonials a to his Integrity, industry
ami general good character, from the
best people of tho towns mid cities in
which ho has lived from hjs Infancy.
The editor oftho to, from the ; start,
troated him with a rudeness and ilis
couilesy which can bu attributed only
to small-minded envy or to entire igno.
ranee of good breeding. On several
occasions, notwithstanding the fact that
wo do not know him, and never alluded
to hint in any way only in a friendly
and complaisant manner, he has re
ferred to us in ids paper In a most tU
courteous and tlisrespectiiil way. As
we aro minding our own business and
have never given him'aiiy cause for his
course towards us, we aro in no mood
to quietly submit to bo blackguarded by
him; nor do wo intend to engage in a
newspaper war with him, which would
be distasteful to us as it would he un
