not, word TO say .sbout this, but silently

Nr. Kasson and Mr.. Price IN regard to the
meeting Of January I'd, took place, and
Mr. X .sson accused Mr.. Price Of being the
author Of the resolutions there passed, we

majorsty in Scott county On the follow

The CARTE has had The urboundcd au-

editor Of this paper. For this. it deserves
the punishment usually applied to bad boys.
But. inaswuch as it j. spitch,l and base
enough 70 make the private affairs Of the
rIlitor appear as though they we're connect
cd with the business affairs Of this paper,
We viii here make mention Of the transac
ton.

The transaction is simply this: last fall q

had supposed ne could have the money
one year longer. He replied
to s,mc ten Or twelve Germans in vain ths
money was no. ~ he had on the instant -
Iua,mn,h as the money had to be raised, hi
arpled to an American (whose name every
one that 80 desires can learn) whom he had
known for years ~ an honorable man, ard
offered him real estate security for the loar

This is the whole transaction, and can bs
