assigned a part in the evenings
program to answer the referred
question, "What is the duty of the
Church in regard to the inhabitants
of our recently acquired posses
sions." Mr.. Wilson was a strong
advocate of temperance and pref
aced his answer to the question
with few minutes talk on the
recently enacted license law, which
he denounced in forcible manner.
He became considerably worked up
with the subject and concluded
with the remark, CHOW you know
where l stand on the temperance
question +! Now comes the" At
this point he threw back his head
and took step backward. Some
in the audience noticed that he
had suddenly grown pale, but
thought that his backward motion
was a gesture. He tottered for an
instant and then fell full length

sylvania Infantry, and took part in
the engagements at Antietam,
South Mountain, Characteristic

DEAR S1R:-Replying to yours of the

the statement which has been eircula-
ted through your county, that had to
pay out twenty-five hundred dollars or
any other sum more Or less to secure
the contract for the building of Cur
rituCk County Court House, and wish
you to deny for me the same. as
being untrue and slanderous; have
never made no such statement to any
one.
The statement by who ever made as
coming from me is a falsehood. l wish
to say more while have this matter
before me, that in my dealings with
public men extending over twenty
five years, have never found a more
upright and honorable set of county
officers than had to deal with in Cur

building committee, all faithful to the
Interest ofthe county and very exact
ing and have got a court house for less
than $4,000 that should have cost your
county ten thousand dollars. My office
books will show this job of work lost
US money and cost more than we got
OF 1t, on account of several sub con-
tractors, violating their agreements
with us,
You may use this letter or show it to
any one and in conclusion will say
that any one who has made this state
ment as coming from me is an unmiti-
gated liar.
