their letter of December, 1870, noti-

friend of the OUACHITA TELEGRAPH

We have had enough of your atten-
tons, Bro. Tim, unless we have greatly
mistaken their origin and meaning.
When you ascribed unworthy motives
tous, you assumed a privilege seldom eX-
ercised by well-meaning, well-bred peo-
pie.
We have had the pleasure of visit
from Capt. E. Z. Kidd, the talented
editor of the Vernon Standard, who
was called to our town by important
legal business, the Captain being an
attorney as well as editor. We trust
he had no. occasion to find fault with
Monroe during his visit, further than
we have, what Bagstock would call,
some ''devilish sly" lawyers who are
not easily vanquished, although very
atfable gentlemen they assuredly are.
\ gentleman from st. Louis recently
called upon us, and his visit was duly
acknowledged. He went away, prom
ising to advertise, butte Monroe with
out complying. He now writes us from
st. Louis that he expects to return to
this place soon, and will "remember"
IL "with an advertisement, and a
bottle of good spirits" Our fortune
is made; and we extend to the vicin-
age an invitation to help us down
with the "spirits." Our editorial ex-
perience with runners, however, is
not often so soothing. They like to
call upon editors as the representatives
of the large firm of So-and-SO, who do
Il Shaving" business, but seldom re-
member that an editors time, paper
and ink are costly articles.
We have before us the Daily Press,
published at Hong Kong, China, at

hand, dated November I'd, 1870. We
are able to read all the paper, except

WH1sxY TRADE Broken Ur.-We
learR- that during the past week, the
Grand Jury of Clarke county, w. T.,
found bills of indictment against nearly all
the persons who engaged in the. whisky
business on the river opposite Kalama.l
Theproprietors refused to allow any liquor
to be sold on shore within the limits Of
the town plat. and two or three tvcnders
were sent away each with flea in his ear.
The enterprising fllows then fitted up
boats as saloons and anchored them out in
the river, to which the thirsty souls ,rcN
sorted in boats or on floats sometimes
even wading or swimming, to get ''drop'
Of the crathur." The dealers in their
haste to accumulate wealth, forgot to take
out licenses, and hence the indictments.
The trade is now entirely broken up, and
Kalama boasts nary gin mill within her
borders.-Orcgonidn.
