To The Adrian Press

[Written by E. F. Johnston in reply to a criticism found in the Adrían Press Washtenawisrns this week.] The Adnan Pres9 wit.li its bluster and blow lias made me the subject of special comment, ExkauatingitewitwhiJeattemptingtosnow Tht nothing ran flourlsh without il consent. But llttle T care for its simple remarks. Theirsource I ronsider while reading the same. The cur at the people thut so ofton barks Is rarely disturbed if domestic aud tame. lts voice is familiar we' ve heard it foryears, And thoujth 't is not musical little we care, A wag oí tlie tail and a Hop of the ears, A bark gans an ecbo are all that is tbere. P. S. I sball send a copy of my book to the editor of the Adrián Press, that he may hereafter quote such passages as he may wish to criticise cmrectly. Possibly the '-poetic feet" of the author may some day assist the editor to rise.
