Explanation.

We understand that DR.. F. G.
McGavock has announced himself,
(lhrOugh circular } as a candidate
to represent Mississippi county in
the next Legislature. DR., McGav-
ock is a gentleman for whom we
entertain high regard, but we are
sorry that he should be put to the
necessity, in order TO create poliu-
cal capital, as we are reliably in
formed, OF giving out the impress
sion that the editor OF this paper
refused to announce or print "pos-
tcrs announcing his candidacy.
lie knows full well, { if he knows
anything at all that occurred while
here last week,) that he never sad
a word TO rs about announcing him.
self; that when he asked us 1t we
could "prlnt nm some rosters, on
the morrow, provided he decided to
have some printed" that wo told
him that "to morrow," (Friday, }
was our "press day" and that as
we had no Office help, it wonld be
impossible to print sand "posIcrs ,
and issue our paper on time, but
that we would be pleased to do the
work tor him on the following Mon
day, if that would suit him. This,
it seems, did not SUIT him, tic he did
not return; and it was not until long
after he had left town that we learn
ed that he was candidate, and his
proposed candidacy was the object
of his visit to Osceoa. We make
this explanation in justice to cuy-
self, and to acknowledge in a pub
Inc manner, that we are IN no coudi-
ton to refuse work, but on the con-
,rary, solicit it from all quarters.

To the good citizens of Osce-
ob and vicinity | take this meth
Cd Of returning my heartfelt thanks
for the disintcrested sympathy man
lfosted towards me, while dragging
through Il period Of tedious confnc-
ment, as base miscreaut, in your
County Jail, from which am now
liberated through the failure OF the
Texas Ambassador TO identify me
as the criminal wanted: IN addi-
ton would add my most devopt
thanks for the hospitality extended
to me since my emancipation from
the clutches OF the SPOIIATORS,
and for the muniicont pecuniary
aid, which | hereby acknowledge,
at your hands. Truly History re-
peats itself. The Parable OF the
good Samaritan, after the lapse of
above 1900 years, has found its
parallel here among The good peo.
pie of Osceola. When this stranger
forgets you, may his right hand for
get Its cunning, when mis- lips cease
to speak your praises, may his
tongue tleavc to the root of his
mouth. When his heart beats not
in grateful remembrance, may a
Just God cease to be merciful to him.
