The communication of Justice" il
very long--too long for our columns. We
should have to p%araphrasc it considerably
before having it put in type. We would
strike out several covert advertisements
and IT. this connection we must reiteratc
that correspondents should remember that
we make our living by p~uJliShing. If they
tell about this or that firm, hotel, water
ing-placc, public conveyance, project,
&C.. &c, they are cheating us out Of an
advertisement, and so, through the thin
disguise" we see our loss and do not pub
fish. 1t Is very easy to "spread" your
self in writing for u newspaper when you
know the editor will bring out your wri-
tings in good grammar, punctuation, &C..
with no charge therefor. But how do
newspaper men live? That is the qUes-
ton.

W. saw in WINCHESTER last Saturday, a

A. Deserved Compliment.

Rev. Il. Il. Eaton, of Chattanooga,
who preached the baCca!aurcatc ser
mon in Winchester, upon the occasion
Of the Mary Sharp Examination Exer-
cises, writes a letter to the Memphis
Baptist, and we make the following
extract about the Mary Sharp. We
make it, too, with pleasure, because it
is 4 college Of which we feel proud,
and it deserves the high mention 80
frequently made Of it. And we can
not refrain from repeating what we
have heretofore said-thn its present
corps of teachers are certainly supe-
ri0r to any former corps, and We join
VITA thousands in wishing long life to
President Graves and his wife, who
are The pillars, we might say, Of the in
slitution. And We are glad that its
finances are'in a better shape than
ever, for which great praise is due Mr..
G. S. Walmslcy, the Treasurer. Very
Few men could manage successfully in
his stead. The disbursement Of $40
coo a year, and the collection of tut
ton, added to the thousand little cares
incident to his position, which to-. fire.
Guently involve unkind thoughts be-
cause he manages impartially and
faithfully, are al to he considered
And he has not failed in bis duty.
But, to the extract. Mr.. Eaton
says:

college is famous for the extent aud

something. The examinations, which
