the editor Of the Press and Banaer permitted
! the publication Of the attack on You by his
correspondent Able de Vile. This CORES
pondent evidently does not know what to
write about
We may add that ii was n surprise to every
one here and to none more 50 than 10 the
post master herself. 1t was an entire miscon.
! ccptlon of facts. The kindest feeling exists
between the post master and the writer. No
criticism that we have made had the remotest
! reference to the post master at this place who
| has been efficient and prompt in all business
! transactions with us. The post master has
| told us since this letter came out, that she did
not consider that we had any allnSion TO her.
! No, We are not III pest Office Inspector or II
post MASTER" and desire neither. AS huS-
ness manager Of the Il. II. Presbyterian. 1t has
been our duty to look after the Irregularities
In delivery OF our papers, cauSrd by ineul-
cicnt postal clerks on The railroads. In cor
rccting these we have had the hearty support
of the post master here and Of Mr.. Terrell, the
superintendent of Rail Mail Service II was
to these inefficient postal clerks we had refer
cncc.
We can assure our fair correspondent that
no little boy or girl here will be allowed TO so
far forget themselves as to get up In public
and mrrl,!le with the post Office Mt Smithvillc
or any where else. II. >. &.
