Col. NJ. S. WARD, Editor Pamela Star:
Respected Friend-I have just 40

Bill, filed in Chancery at Pamela, in
favor of II. Graft and John Grigg VS..
(my hrother( r. w. Brahan, ct. al.
Now, if the aliases had been named
in the Bill, this explanation from me
would not, perhaps, have been deemed
necessary but, as my brothers name
alone appears upon the defendants
side of said Bill it devolves upon me
to make such an explanation as may
place my absent brother in a correct
light before his friends and acquaint-
anees, who may chance to see the pub
LEGATION.
1t is known to many Of your read

tdNIIg ioI HIS Ht" h"ific III tHc ldi
West, my brother sold his home and
plantation here, "a part Of which this
suit is founded upon to the Mcssrs.
Edwin and Albert G.. Coleman. Some
year or two before he sold to them, he
had purchased part of the same
plant alton, to wit j: n. ] sec. 90, Tt,
X. s west, of John Grigg, of Phila
delphia, through his agent, Col. Fl.
Craft of Holly Springs. At the time
he sold to them, one, or perhaps two,
of his notes, given for said { section
of land, had not matured. My broth
er's trade with them was cash trans
action; yet, as matter of accommo-
dation, he let them have the benefit of
the credit upon this note, or notes, of
his, taking from the gentlemen an ob-
/ legation to lift his note or notes when
they should have fallen due-deduct
ing the amount thereof from the
amount of their purchase, giving
them, in that way, due credit there
for, and transferring to them title,
bond, &c. They, however, failed to
| take up this note, or notes, hence the
filing of the Bill. They cannot plead,
in extenuation of their conduct, in
thus failing to comply with their pro-
mise made, and obligation given TO
my brother, that want of funds,
placed it out of their power to have
prevented his paper, entrusted to their

bought other land since; and l last
winter sold to A. G.. Coleman an
section of land, receiving therefor,
from him, cash payment of five hun

than sufficient to have prevented the
filing of this bill. And again, he told
me in the month of May that he had
money to loan. had no occasion to

CONDENSED FooD.-An Englishman
has just perfected a process of con-
densing eggs, so that the nourishing
elements of dozen of the hen fruits
can be held in the bowl of an ordina-
nv spoon. This will save those hur-
ried business men, who think the time
devoted to breakfast as absolutely
wasted, a great deal of trouble. They
can carry paper of egg powder in
their pockets, and whenever hungry,
take pinch or two, containing the
strength of good omclette, and i'm
mediately fly around to work again.
This will help them to enjoy life and
grow rich very fast. The next thing
to be invented for their benefit will be
condensed chicken, condensed lamb,
peas, etc, so that they can carry their
dinners in their pockets, and never
leave business once all day,
And they should also have con-
densed little wife, and there'd be no
need of going home at all.
