Of the row between Colonel Thomas
Laurens Jones and Judge Beckner. Il
seems that Beckner in conversation

st. Jacobs oil before he could get the
stiffness out Of him, and become avail
able for any purpose compatible with
the needs Of modern civilization. OF
course, the good natured friend told
this to Col. Jones. who was greatly
incensed at the gratuitous insult, and
remarked in his most sarcastic man

derm. This epithet came to Beck.
