for his greedy desire to get all the per.
quisites he can in mis- present position.
Perhaps j. is not generally known
that this parasite has always been in
the habit Of sponging his dancing, much
to his own discredit and the displeas-
ure Of those that did "pay the fiddler"
His inveterate psrsimoniousness has
kept him away from many places that
he desired TO attend for the reason that
IL would cost him something, but when
his bills were paid by others how en-
gerly he went and INDUCED in the del
icacies and pleasures Of the occasion.-
This. Mr. Editor, is the sort Of man (or
rather hiag) that tries to calumnia'e
my name, and slings his vile aspersions
upon my Sabbath day habits. bis mu-
nificcnt gifts (of wind) TO our churches
have loaded them down with wealth in
his estimation, perhaps, but his most
intimate friends are unaware Of his
ever having contributed a cent 10 relig-
ious, political, or charitable purposes.
People that live in glass houses ought
rot TO throw stones"
This poor. pitiful, pusillanimous buff
foon tries to counteract the effect Of his
dishonorable course in declining 10
publish my defense against his scuIri-
lous attacks, by trying to show that
did not comply with the published
rules" ofthat paper in handing in my
communication in proper time This
is chicanery of the basest eharacter.-
There are no published rules in that
paper regulating communications, and
what he speaks of refers only to adj
vertisements and business notices. -
This is only a subterfuge Of his for the
purpose Of preventing his readers from
hearing some facts about his character,
motives, &c, that he would prefer to
be "hid under bushel' from them,
and which are quite unpalatable to
him. After having assailed me so vim
dictively, II would have been TO his
credit to make an effort to give me a
hearing, even though my manuscript
might have been little late in reach.
ing the haads Of this great % poten-
tate. His remark that / sent my COM
munication in at late hour in order
to have pretext for having il publish
ed elsewhere is as false as oil his other
statements. No such thing was ever
thought Of by me,
The candid confession this egotistical
youth desires me to make is this Last
year he charged the Society sl0 for
printing 900 entry tickets, which at
the time he made out his bill for the
same, informed him was exorbitant,
and beyond all reason, and that
would oppose the payment ofthe same
before the Board. He then put the
price down to 81, which was paid, and
the blank cards on which this work was
printed, were purchased in GAINESVILLE,
, us he then informed me. had o
, much better and neator card printed in
i GAINESVILLE, for which paid only s32s
per 1000, his falsehoods and unreliable
, information to the contrary nothwith
standing. If he would deal in facts
! and not try to misrepresent everything
he hears pertaining to this matter, he
f might, after lengthy probation, and
with fair corroboration, make his state
ments tenable. Therefore, ! did Adr,
e 1000 entry tickets printed Ibis Fall, .foi
,. ,chich I did not pay more than 1925. Per
y haps he'll understand this now, and tn,
q people can understand and learn to {
!. certainty where high and exorbitan
prices" are if they patronize the Her
aid Office under present management
We wants me to stand back out o
; the way of "other people who desire /,
make the Fairs successful" II is quit
certain he is not one of that number
as he never was known to give dolla
, TO the Society in his life, nor make an
, individual efforts TO enhance its inter
= ests, but would invariably attend ifh
u got complimentary ticket Not be
10 ing favored this Fall with "that sam
he ticket" his penur!ousness kept hiI
A. away from the Exposition. The Fair
n of TIE Society were never more sue
a cessfIl las the statistics compiled 70
d. his benefit show than during the fou
b. years / have acted as Secretary. Hi
,e greatest desire TO get me "out of th
way" is to enable him to get the print
e ing of the Society at exhorbitant pri,
y es, which / have and will continue I
oppose.
