ratified.

That is What Il Lincoln County
Farmer Wants
For Being Called IL White Cap,
Etc. by Il Newspaper.

Last December Kirby Smith. Il farm
er living in the Western portion of
Lincoln county, became involved in Il
difficulty with members of VIM. S.
Vaughn's family. of the Same locality.
under circumstances which led the 10
cal correspondent of the Memphis APP
peal at Brookhaven to sup
pose that Smith was member of that
odious gang of outlaws known as white
caps, which were just then fairly be-
ginning their acts of lawlessness in this
and adjoining counties. Acting Oh this
idea, the correspondent. f. +. Brennan.
Esq, telegraphed an account of the
fight between Smith and the Vaughn
boys to his paper, in which Smith.was
referred to as "a white cap" This led
to the filing of the following bill of
complaint in the Circuit Court by
Smith, against the Appeal-Avalanche,
to be tried at the present term of court
The LEADER gives this bill of complaint
in full, without intention or desire to
prejudice either party to the contro-
versy, but simply to show the detesta-
BILE light in which white caps are
alleged to be held by plain, Lincoln
county farmer and his law-abiding
nsighbors:
