licothe friend, the Gazette; but last
week it came at me agaia, with three
quarters OF column. 1t says it is now
done. So l will sum up and quit also.
The Gazette says;
ave are at loss to know why Mack
ley pursues this matter. We, certainly,
are very tired Of it"
Should not wonder if you are very
tired of it, since you see the fix in which
you have got yourself. The reason tohy
| pursue the matter is this. never
let a man claiming respectability, tell a
lie on me without making him swallow
it, or cramming it naked down his
throat.
The Gazette accused mo of a mean,
dirty act-an act of which no pettifog-
ger in Jackson or Ross county would
be guilty--to- wit; getting mad at an
