GLENNvILLE, September 18th 1879.
Editor HcraId
Rain! Rain! Patter! Patter, with
heavy winds rs an accompaniment,
have been our weekly visitors for some
time, playing havoc with crops, corn es-
pecially. We had terrific storm here
on Sunday 9TH inst, which blew corn
down at rapid rate, while hail perfor-
ated tobacco slightly.
DIED.-Sidney Johnson, son of Lewis
Peak, died on the 9TH inst. of fiux.
johnson was an only son, young in
years. He was a sprightly little gem,
and will he missed from the family cir
Gle, no more will the gleeful laugh, or
joyous mirth of little Johnson he heard,
he is now in the beautiful beyond, and
while nature claims her right to mourn
the loss of one so dear, the grief strick-
en- parents are assured that they are
represented in heaven by little Johnson
whose little star now wrinkles far be-
yond the "blue"
Some time back, as your correspon-
dent, L wrote letter to your paper, in
that letter said something about Man
keT. In the next issue of the HERALD
he came out in card denying my state
ment, and stating also that "MOdoc"
was not responsible &C., &c. | simply
wrote the facts as they were given to
me by gentlemen living in Glennville,
and l only give it passing notice now,
that persons unacquainted with myself,
may become.infOrmed Us to the facts i'm
the case, as l cannot compromise my
self by paying the slightest attention to
any thing that a man of Markers caste
and social standing may inaugurate.
Markers wife was nice lady and re-
ceived every attention while here, and
for the benefit OF your "Wilson's Mills"
ink singer who said he chad intended
to bestOw some attention upon "Mo-
docs" allusiOnstO him but if what Man.
ker wrote of him was true, and he had
seen no refutatiOn of it, decline to do
So" l shall revert to such nonsense,
only Pro re ndtd. Now friend, "U. n.
Quire," as you are stranger to both
Marker and myself, | will say this: |
can't, from gentlemanly stand point,
notice Marker only so far as relates to
what l said of him in former commu-
nication, to those acquainted with me,
and they are numerous, this is unnecessa-
ry. Marker said that Modoc had writ
ten lies, as every body knew, and spoke
of his domestic troubles, &c. Well, Mrs.
Marker was very sick and died, and
hence my abbreviated statement of Mr..
Markers conduct. am far from try
ing to injure anyone, and only wrote
the facts. l promptly answered Man
ker's card but by some means it did not
appear. Now for the benefit ofany one
DESTROYS of knowing the truth of my ac-
cusatiOn against Marker l refer to j.
II. Jackson, Esq, the gentleman that
had Marker employed, to Peter Vance,
wOod-wOrkman in Jackson's shop, to
Hugh Lynn, attache of the same shop,
to Drs. Lakeland and Carpenter, attend
ing physicians, to Lewis Peak, minister
of the christian church, to Henry Lack
land, dry goods clerk, and many Others.
But this is sufficient. Marker said in
his ,rd that other parties were report
ing things on him that would have to
be settled in the Court House. Well, 1
would not be in his shoes for his ''sOcks,"
if such was the case, you had better go
slow on that "Man-cur'. If the many
readers of the HERALD will excuse me
tor this condescension, | will assure
them that shall not pay the slightest
attention to any thing more said by the
night skedaddler and the Man-cur that
trades in spoons.
MI. hlgel Is Dack nome with large
stock of dry goods, &c.
Jackson sells number of wagons.
Ceilings makes quite a number also.
/ see the Phipps boys, of your town,
have reduced the price of flour and
meet the wants of the people in carding.
While Mr.. King, of the Hartford
House, bosses things in person and has
the best furnished hotel in this section
of Ky.
