There is no person who wishes to work who
can not make one dollar per day gathering green
moss which sells readily ct FL the stores er Fl
viii certainly agree with Mr.. Barmon that no
man can actually starve when IN moss country
he can make one dollar per day gathering green
moss. particularly when he states that 1T can be
sold at all the stores at one half cent per pound
But the outside world will certainly condemn
Mr.. Barmon in his gross Misrepresentation as
stores, at those prices. Did he say how many
stores dealt IN green noss2 Oh no! be would

is true that Mr.. Nargassans and Mr.. Graham
haye a small very small store, and it is fact OF
public notoriety that the two Last gentlemen ga
Amant, more through charity than any thing
else, did buy somewhere in the neighborhood OF
10000 pounds. The whole 1855, 600 pounds at y
per pound $685. Now, Mr.. Editor, let a sene
man, keep in mind the names of those that have
endorsed my letter, and who are all heads OF
families, and say how far they can go with
1925.
Does Mr.. Barmon wish me to say to him that
neither Mr.. st. Amant. Mr.. Nargassans nor MIR.
Graham have invested single, solitary cent IN

ness himself? And still his letter bears date Of
the 28th July. Is that honest or truthful?
IF there is any suffering for want OF food IT
must be in a neighborh9od known as Duck
Roost.'' Why that if? Was it not the sacred
duty of Mr.. Barmon as member of the Police
Jury to ascertain the facts, and not at this late
hour to talk of Ifs and ands?
'sAs for people living in palmetto huts, |
have heard of but one family thus situated, etc"
Does Mr.. harmon know or is he acquainted
with old man Rosemon Templet over IS years
of age; widow Camille Bourgeois, with SIX chill
dren; widow Isidore Bourgeois with two chill
dren; Aurelien Templet, wife and several 1eEll-
dren; Florestan Templet, wife and several chill
dren; Jack Layigne, wife and four children;
Austin Parent, wife and child. Does he pre-
tend to deny that the water drove them from
house and home to the hills. where they built
huts? Does he pretend to say that when he was
driving his stock from the highlands home, he
did not pass by some of these huts and see some
of their occupants?
1.-THE people of this ward are really In need of
medicine" Now. MI. Editor, is this not q
farce! The people are really in need OF medi-
cine Can people who can pay 20 cents per
pound for clear sides and all in proportion, for
they must buy all, having saved nothing from
the overflow, suffer for a little medicine and
have the means of procuring every thing else? =,
rations more next year than they do at present .
Il this can be explained By the gentleman.
although it appears to be English, a very few
out there can understand it.
From Rev. s. G. Kirkland to the lower end
Barmon dare deny that the following named
places are all situated between Mr.. Kirkland's
place and the lower end of New River. and will
he have the face of saying that on any solitary
one of them there is single seed of corn or
cotton in the syrnurdp
