but within two weeks we have learned
from half dozen sources that it !,
not the fact, anC so We hasten to make
the rctractlon. We had supposed tina,
the Farmer came on Friday night. as
1t used to do, but we learn that during
the past year it has generally arrived

an exchange and have not had it for
some time, and had not learned that
there had been any change in its time
of arriving. On last Monday NOR.
ming we received a letter from our
agent at Derby, saying that We had
put hun IN an awkward position, for
he had reiterated our story; wo think
we can appreciate his feelings. We
arc sorry to place any of our friends
in such a dilemma, or ourselves either
but 1t cannot be helped now; we had
no intention to falsify facts. When
VIC make up our minds to utter an I'M
truth VIC shall tell one that cannot 90
easily be proven such. We published
u line from our agent in which he said
. Friend Carpenter says the statement
is an Earle lie," and VIC supposinc it

gave him a customary kick, but the
Carpenter spoken of was not the
Judge, so we hit the wrong man hint
tire. In conclusion we will say tbo,
the Standard aud the Farmer 90 in
the same mail, and if airy one has
subscribed for our paper on the
strength of our published statements
