To the Editor of the Ledger;
If the gentleman what answers

would like to ask a few, being as
I've got nothing else to do now.
First-What has become of Hi
dell? has he got through with his
crusade against ice-holders? have
we only three delinquents? This
is all he has shown up so far.
Second-If Hidell is through,
won't you get the wheel-horse of
Democracy, alias " Another Read
err" to give some information in
regard to these matters? He has
been in official position so long he
ought to be posted, and as he vol
unteered the Information for the
benefit of the dear people" in re-
gard to Hidell tax laws, they would
like to hear from him again on tax
titles, delinquencies, fayoritism,
etc.
Third-Will your man tell us
why the city government is now
working a number Of hands pid-
ding around when she has no
money to pay them and there is no
real necessity for the work?
Fourth--Will he tell us why the
city hands are taking mp wood
curbing on PontOtoc street, west of
Main, and putting down stone,
when the street one square north
(Linden) has neither wood nor
stone, and one-half Of our streets
in The same fix and must remain 50
for some time to come, by reason OF
our inability to pay for sSch useless
Improvement? Is it because they
have these hands on hand and must
give them some employment to kill
time?
Fifth-Why don't our mayor
pay the city debts at once, and not
be dragging the thing SO? We are
getting tired Of so much delay. |
could pay every dollar Memphis
owes in three weeks, if--well,
won't say; if l did somebody might
do it, and then | would not get the
credit of it.
Sixth - How many chooses
does the city have to the hand and
did any Of them ever build a chick.
en- house before they we're employed
by the city?
Seventh = What's the use in /;
fellow working himself to death t
make a living, when it's SO easy t.
die and get out of all trouble
Why not "git at once" and b,
done with it? it's got to be die

plause or such a roar OF laughter that you
can hardly hear what the speaker says.

words grew almost inyective when be al
luded to preachers who made mirth in
the pnlpit-turning their churches into
Sunday thea.ers. / don't know whether
his friend, DR. Stuart Robinson, of Louis
Vile, breaches the same way that he
speaks; if he does, Crosby should see
after him, for though he is at times high
ly poetical-even lhrilling-he is at
other times droll and grotesque. But,
whether humorous or impressive, DR..
Robinson is uniformly one thing-a
Presbyterian. 0ne Of the Edinburgh
