GREEN the "R-formed Gambler" of whom you
have previously spoken lavorably in the edtorial
department of your paper Many are highly
pleased with the Man, aud think he should be sus
laincd by public patronage and the Press mas
much as he comes with good credentials Of moral
and Christian character from the church. Many
think his course calculated to do much good for
this and coming generations. He appears admi-
rably calculated and accomplished for exposing
the deceptive marks and tricks Of This hearess
race of land pirates, called Gamblers. alias Sports
