In his wrath, he announced iit bold face type as follows;- . — “A lot of people in this town fall out with the, editor and brand him as a liar when" the ordinary human mistakes of life show up in a news paper. You have a little charity and fellow k feelin’-for every man in town but your editor. You claim that you want the facts, and d—d if I don’t give 'em to you. Read the next issue of this sheet and you’ll see some facts with the hark off. Ill admit that I have been a liar, an editorial liai'xever since ! have been editing ♦ N 4 this sheet, hut I have never printed a lie in these eolumns except to save somebodv’s feeling from being hurt.

Seventy percent oT the Pack ard Six cars sold in 1925 were bought faf those who never before had owned a high grade motor car. Thousands of these new owners bought their cars on the payment plan, the aver age payment seldom exceed ing $150 per month. you have a car at present, please let us examine it. If Jt is marketable we will apply our purchase price against the. down payment on a new car. • And those who bought, and who if necessary made any sacrifices to get their cars, have no payments to make this year—or the next—or the next. The average Packard Six owner expects to keep his car nearly three times as long as the car he traded in. Married; Miss Susie Scruggs and Horace fluffiii last Saturday al the Methodist parsonage.

He went to the county seat and just before starving to death, ac cepted « job as chambermaid in a livery stable. As soon as his ma found out ^ here he was she went and And he will. Ninety-eight per cent of those who bought Packard Six cars during the past six years have never left the Packard family. Thousands who wanted* Packard cars last spring could not get them. The demand was far greater than the supply. One sure way to get a Packard Six this spring is to order it now. — Many bought Packard Six cars last year without pay ing out more than. $200 in cash at any one time. May we tell you more about the Packard Six and the financial ease with which you may have one? Packard Cars are now being sold on the basis of the new tax rat.
