Eccentric Bro. Bruce.

DAOs VI W. LII uNO SOAn RiuiliS
that our Cline squib of last week
does him an injustice, and may
lead people to think he did some
thing at Ruston unbecoming a
southern gentleman. We have
no desire to do Bro. Bruce or any
one else an injustice, and only
tried to state the case in as few
words as possible. AT the time,
however, we did not know all the
facts, and, from rumor, only gave
the substance, in order that he
might correct it if he desired to do
SO. He says the report, SO far as
he is concerned, is untrue. In or
der that he may have a chance to
refute the rumor intelligently, and
our readers may understand the
nature of the controversy, we print
the following letters:
RUsToN, La Oct. /, 1892.
w. g. Flynt, Homer, La:
Dear Sir-In answer to your letter of
the 28th of last month, relative to Gener-
al Weaver and the negroes at Mrs. S. A.
Calvin's hotel at Ruston, La. have TO
say that Mrs. Calvin did send for me to
clear her house OF negroes on the even
ing Of the day that General Weaver spoke
at the Chautauqua. My understanding
| is that Mrs. Calvin expostulated with the
friends OF General Weaver before she
sent for me. My opinion is that it was
necessary for Mrs. Calvin to send for aid
to rid her house of negroes. She sent for
me and gave her the aid thought nee
essary to protect the house and home of
a Southern lady from throng of ne
groes. These are the facts. Who is re-
sponsible, If any one, do not know. Gen
eral Weaver was at the CALVIN House.
| Respectfully, T.. B. FINLEY.
Deputy Sheriff.
RCsroN, La, Oct. /, 1892.
Mr.. Thos, d. Meadows, Lisbon La:
Dear Sir-In answer to your letter Of
the 25th OF last month we have to say
that it is fact that on the evening of the
day that General Weaver spoke at the
Louisiana Chautauqua that he was at the
Calvin House in Ruston and that Mrs.
Calvin sent for T. B. Finley, deputy sher-
if, to rid her house of throng of negroes
and that she informed us that Mr.. Nc
Farland of Claiborne and Mr.. Bruce, alli-
ance lecturer. officiated in the gathering
of the negroes. These are the facts as
we gather them from Mrs. Calvin, pro-
prietress OF the Calvin Hotel at Ruston.
We refer inquiring persons to Mrs. S. A.
Calvin, Ruston, La, who signs her name
with us. Respectfully,

The next day when she rose her plans

much was certain. Would he marry her?
Of that our little wording was by no means
