his brotherin law, Mr.. +. Ber.
nard Funderourk, had gone to
Monroe on business. They were
driving wild mule and had put

it. 1t had quieted down, how.
ever, shortly after they left their
home and "Tinny" had dropped
the extra reins which he used over
the dash board. AS they reached
Monroe dog ran out from an
alleyway barking at the mule and

his brother in law could not hold
the animal, reached down to get
the extra lines and assist him.

him over the back of the buggy.

A Word to a Slanderer.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Please allow me
to say to slanderer, through the
columns of your valuable paper,
that l have bean informed that
YOU, sLANDERER, have said that
it is rumored that Sheriff Hunter
would not work up case against
a friend of his charged or sus-
pected of crime. | desire TO
say that no one except an enemy
with heart as black as hell itself
would pierce me in the back with
such lying tongue by making
use of such remarks. | have. no
cause whatever to suspect any
friend of mine of having commit.
ted any crime. If had, and felt
that it was my duty to work up
the case, God knows | would do
it, if in my power to do SO, if |
knew L would never again see in
side of another office. am salts
fed that many of my friends will
say that | should have passed this
slanderer unnoticed, but in as
much as ne is giving circulation
to this infamous falsehood by tell
ing people confdentially IN a very
sweet, hypocriticaI, low, soft tone
that "it is rumored &c." | there
fore had n desire to say what l
have SAID in this way; AND if l
hear of any more such falsehoods
L shall be much more explicit than
this in my denunciatlon of the
same, let it hurt whomsoever it
may, regardless ST consequences.
My reason now for Withholding the
name of this slanderer is on ac-
count of his good wife and inno-
cent little children.
Respectfully,
John u. Hunter.

Dupont's task was to maintain a

the enemy's ships from carrying arms
or supplies from England to the pent-
