Those Kitchen cOmmlssarles.
EDrroR NEws.-

les" TO G. A. Post, is liable 10 do
great injustice to the purchasers
OF the notes, unless the many err
rors therein, are corrected.
In the first place, the notes were
not executed Tor county rights, or
territory in which to sell the COM
missaTios, but the contract which
was In writing, and delivered to
the makers OF the notes, expressly
and in plain English says,is pay
ment OF two dollars each, on GER
tain number Of commlssarles.
Now, these notes were presented
to NJ. S. Burns and l.. +. Shannon
for sale by Messrs. Post and Car.
ter, but before a single note was
bought, Burns and Shannon had
Post and Carter to take tho note,
back to the various men who exc.
cuted them, and tell them before
We would buy them, each one OF
the men who gave his note must,
In writing signed by him, say that
"Mr. Post had done every thing he
was to do, and had furnished every
thing he was TO furnish In the
transaction" This was done, and
the writing signed and brought
back to us and then the notes were
purchased and II these men who
gave their notes to Mr.. Post had
not written to us that Mr.. Post had
done everything he was to do, and
furnished everything he was to
furnish, We would not havt
bought the notes. And some OF
the men who executed these notes
nave actually given us mortgages
long siuce Post left here to secure
these same notes.
Now, this same article in last
weeks paper said that Post pre-
tended to sell Carter some coun'
ties. This is mistake, for Mr.
Harry Shannon knew that Post
and Carter were patrons and &C
tually delivered his notes to Car
ter. The article also said that only
few OF the orders for commissar
les had been filled. This Is anoth
or mistake. The written CONTRACT
says, "cash must accompany al
orderp," and every single ordel
that has been sent with the casf
has been filed, and We have letters
from the company that they stanC
ready at all times to fill every or
der when the cash Is sent with II
Now 1t seems that the only reason
these men have given for refusing
TO pay these notes is that they can
not get the goods when they orde
Them. II this is all, we will Civ
the Bank OF Louisa for our securit.
aud say, that we will have furnish
ed TO every man who gave hi
note, every commlssary his con
tract calls for, and at the sam
price givdn in the contract. Tn
"Americau Can Co.." who make
these commlssarIes, is rated b
Bradslreet and Dun's agency's a
worth over million dollars.
Now il was also said in the art
Gle last week that the trial indicte
that forgery had been resorted t.
In answer to this, we have public
ly promised that II any man who's
notes we have bought will como I
us and say he did not sign note
for the amount we claim, we wi
give him a clear receipt. We al
sorry we bought these notes, br
we repeat, Of the men who CAV
. these notes 10 Mrs. Post had nj
sent that second writing to us, an
? said that Mr.. Post had done ever!
thing he was to do and furnlshe
, everything he was to furnish, "
would not have invested nearl
} three thousand dollars Of our har
g earned money in them.
Now, in conclusion, we wouI
0 not have answered that article
: last weeks issue, but for this re
: son. the jury hung In the on
case tried, and consequently Il
: cases will all have to be tried ne,
9 April, and to have let the mar
:, mistakes in that article go unco
9 rected, would have predjudic'
: nearly every reader of the pap'
and as the cases are to be tri
r. over at the next April term, 1t
y nothing more than simple justl
, that the readers OF your pap
"a should know the true facts.
r. Respectfully,
- Il. Il. SHANNC
- NJ. S. BURNS.
a. lin explanation OF the lnaccurac
i In the article last week We "
a state that II was gathered from I
IN statements OF some Of the intere
:, ed parties as we'll as from one
n two disinterested persons W
=. heard most OF the trial. The wri
- found 1t impossible to attend, a
a being pressed for time when
a. article was written, asked for
Ia facts from those who were near
.rt at hand. We have absolutely
r. interest In the matter, and certa
r. ~ no desire to do anyone an
ma jury. Therefore, We willingly p
