A statement.

Mr.. EDITok:-I wish to make a
statement of few facts which have
given rise to slanderous report about
my wife, Mrs. Ella VanCuren, and
the Rev. John Herington, commonly
known as the "boy preacher F" The
circumstances which gave rise TO the
vile slang which has gone forth in
this and adjoining neighborhoods are
simply this: On the 2Slh of February
1886, after the funeral OF Mrs. Daniel
Haines, Mr.. Herington and Others
stopped at our house for supper and
to wait for the time of the evening
service held at the Clark school
house. During this time MIR. Herring
ton, my wife's mother, Mrs. Jane 5.
Root, and my wife, engaged in play
full scuffle over piece of lemon peel,
and during this scuffle there were
present, besides those named, my
father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs N
r. VanCuren; my brother, X Van
Curen; my wife's brother, o Hess;
Miss Ida Taylor, Miss Lizzie Van
Curen, Mr.. +. Scott and Mr.. +. Scott,
and Miss Minnie Runyan Now from
this simple incident all this vile Sian
der has sprung, and l ask the priv
lege of making this statement TO the
public in vindicat;on of my wife's
reputation and to throw the stain
from the christian standing Of Mr.
Herington upon those who circulate
and enlarge upon such stories, and
despise the truth and believe lie that
they may be damned.

1t is generally conceded the tobacco

any time during the year. The seem
ing decline is in the low grades of our
present offerings. We have seen only
one wrapper in good condition in two
weeks, and it brought an advance Of
two cents. High case wrappers that
have grown tender by sweat, and rem.
