The letter received by "Big 2s last
week created considerable amount Of
talk in our city. We suppose the writ
er knew what he was talking about or
else he would not have pounced upon
the young man in such vicious man
ner. But taking all in all the UNDER
signed was only vindicating himself
and friends around him, knowing that
he held diploma which he had work
ed for about eight long years Late at
night, while probably his mother and
father were in the land of nod, dream
ing Of the past aud future of their son
he was seen with his Arithmetic, AL
zebra and Gemometry solving difficult
problems, preparing for the next day
early in the morning, he was seen with
his History, Rhetoric and Latin en-
Ideavoring to prove himself a good
scholar by getting "l0'' on each. Az
ter doing this for number OF years
he felt that no one should infringe
upon his worthy diploma. These are
the grounds upon which the under
signed OF the letter took. We don't
believe that he wishes the Reverend
harm because he is one OF his most ar
dent friends aud well-wishers.
The young divine refuted the state
ment made in the much talked of let
ter. We offered him space to answer

we haven't received any answer as
yet.
