paper editor. Somehow Il copy Of the
April 18th edition of this paper found
its way To the office OF the Bran.cn,
Tancy county, Echo. In that edition
was AN article about the meeting OF
the Lafayette Presbytery and in that
article was mention Of an address by
Prosecuting Attorney Aubrey of Taney
County, This is part OF the article:
"Mr. Awbrcy's talk was particularly
interesting and valuable, aa he comes
from Forsyth. the location Of the con.
tcmplatcd School Of the OHnrks. Only
few years ago religion wa- not con-
tcnanccd in Taney county and school

exercises were held in it, In the

publishes the article under the head,

as follows;
"Thc ahovc article is taken from the
Lexington lntclligencer Of April 18th,
in which it is telling about the pro.
cccdings Of the meeting Of this

We have seen and known OF the people,

who ever is responsible for the above
declaration, we wisE they Isicl would
be kind enough TO come forward and

transpircs that Mr., Aubrey is getting
blamed, abused and criticised for the

and that his opponents are using ii
against him for political purposes
A. matter of fact he made no sucl
remark, but rather spoke in the op
pooitc strain, He pridcd himself in
the fact that he was Il mountaincc,
and expressed the profoundcst love fol
his county. The writer OF the article
meant that Mr., Awbrcy's address in
dicated the great Improvement which
had taken place in fancy county,
The information which prompted

WAS given by an eminent cvangclis
