We are not informed as to what offense Mr Collins committed for which he got a good whipping, but expect he can probably remember when in younger days he was soundly thrashed by a woman and did not get or expect $10,000.00 pay for receiving it either.

It also seems that some of the residents of that city considered our remarks on the matter as favoring the defense in the case at issue. For the benefit of Higbee readers, we desire to say that all information obtained by us from a Randolph Co exchange i.e. the amount sued for and the parties involved in the case, but as the article in the Advertiser stated, we know none of the particulars. Since that time we have heard some of the particulars to the affair but refrain from publishing them for more reasons than one. One reason is that it would require too much space, and another is that a newspaper has no right and it would be gross impropriety to meddle with strictly private family matters. To bring matters to a close and be thoroughly understood, we wish to say and to emphasize that we have no connection with the affair, have not and will not favor either plaintiff or defense in the case, and that the Advertiser columns are not open for articles airing personal grievances and further that neither of the interested parties have tendered us anything for publication--Fayette Advertiser. 30 June 1894--C.
