/ We will inform the refined speaking gem

lance so far. de says II would have
F, gladly gone To see the young man lift had
been possible for me 10 do 80. aud that 1
started AT nv earliest convienoe for his
fathers residence" will say that be-
| lieve this 10 DO an Intentional lie, "a de-
/ cepuve one. Now, for my proof. He
received the note from, or sent by the
attending physician on Tuesday morn
( ing, the day that his brother arrived at
his place, and in the afternoon he went "A
hunting. II he reg uds hunting reason
able hindeance or impractioable hen 1
yield the point this note being the second
invitation. lie says he left before day
break and went eight miles To preach,
Nicolo's Mill, the place. lie arrived
there for dinner. Why not have gone
over to see the young man in the morn>
ingf lie did not preach until in the
evening. Here is whore Inc had his talk
with the attending phosiciAn. aud this is
what the physioia said That the young
man was better aud 10y careful treatn ent
might get well. but he was dangerous.
Now, can prove by one OF the mos.
prominent men in GAINESVILLE that he
was about home more or loss for several
days, and his only excuse was, we be-
lieve, just what we stated in our FIRST,
that the young man did not belong to
church. FOR Mrs, Mary Feather stated as
late as this " eek that tho reason he did
not 60 10 see the young man was that he
did not belong to church. And we have
already spoken of different other persons
who stated the same or similar statements
which are sufficient to prove to an intel>
ligent public that where there Is 40 mu ch
smok, there is certainly little fire.
Now he says Mr.. Miller, mot Rev I
can not say as to the title of Reverud but
il IL tho way he Is spok en- of here. Prob
ably man docs not receive the title OF
aud n malicious liar.
lilo says some Of the things that We
have stated are untrue. Some nre true
which we infer he admits. very per,
cepubly preceive that be lodged the
church matte. lie says we submitted
lot OF gossip, mixed. He will ind IL this
lime gossip straight. He relates All an>
ecdote OF an Irishmsu how he look out
from behind the bars. what, - he going
TO send as to prison or to the island OF
ST. Helena where Napoleon persisted ?
lie says we boast Of having been
brought up in refined society. We do
not boast oft but will say that In King
wood there ia refined society ald that we
are known by as many good citizens in
the County as =. j. Cation and we were
not brought up To- lie Neither do we in
tend To take it, five have been in our
vindication compelled to use harsh words
for man who calls himself preacher
has no right to- lie; neither to screen him-
self And that our bible has no more
dust upon IL than his, we believe, ahd as
we believe IL is not scessary 20 notice
| everything he said we say to him this Is
our last through tho columns Of the press
on this subject. And ~ he would have
us TO he so ignorant, would he please
| look At the word "conces sion" Is It a
proper word where he used 1t, However,
we are sure that we are not yielding or
| hiding and IL he IL "A man OF % much in
teiligence and refined tastes, why docs he
! sail in VII h his bitter invlc.ives.
tie says tho most pleasant relations OK
list between him and the young mans
family, II lhst IS 80, he should have
gone by all means, bat why did they
| send to Brsndonvillo for minister when
one Of pleasant associations was 80
near2 lie says they do not give me any
credit for the bold part have taken.
| Suppose they don't does that relieve him
Of an imperative duty? lie says tho dis
lance is four miles aud many call It five.
We have taken the time and pains u As
cartsdn the facts and we find thattlo true
distance is three miles. Many call II
two and ba.f.
In conclusion w9 say that IL he had
treated ~ IN gentlsmaply way wo
would have continued to treat him him
as we have done, mildly, but We advise
him 70 read his bible more, repent of his
sins, use t''e language that il becoming
70 q minister, and he viii fnd his pain
vsy Lighter and. better. and then he
would be more careful how he calls a
woman a liar hereafter.
