prison for twenty years, etc, by Judge

paper. 1t is a case, however, of mutual
suffering.
The new Revised Statutes of the State are
just published and are being delivered in
small lots in the different parts of the State.

one lot, thereby saving something in express
charges.

Mr.. Edibor,-Inyo your report the Fairo
and Whitcher q Sons exhibit, think you
made little bit of amista<e. In view. of
the.fact thatI showed alIthe carriages that
/ saw there at all, and put large, nicely
type written placard in each carriage, stat
ing that they were shown by Chas. j. Uf-
ford & Sons, and for that purpose each
one was shown, with my name signed
plainly at the bottom of each card, [ am
writing for you to correct your statement
for several reasons: In the first place, we
haven't gone out of business; neither are
we in any way disqualified on account of
light weight or for any other reason. And
another reason, L am afraid you m1Slead
the public,and do people harm, for Witch
er- & Son do not handle any such kind of
carriages as those shown there; neither do
they make the price that [ made there.
Again, for some reason or other, the editor
of the Express & Standard seems to have
corroborated your statement to the letter,
and / don't know but between you both,
my reputation both as to business and for
truth and veracity will be at jeopardy.
There is no ''Fraud" about.this; we are all
right and ''Fraud'' is all right, and hope
you are. Very Respectfully,
CHAs. J. UFFoRD.
We are very pleased to publish the cor
rection. If we remember rightly, the car
riages were not in place when we took
minutes in that department of the fair.
Later,We saw he carriages on the ground
in passing and understood that they were
placed there by the Whitchers. Mr.. Uf-
ford's reputation is such that slip in the
local papers will do no harm to his bust
ness or his ''truth and veracity."
