Our friend F. W. Brown, Esq. took occasion
to give US gentle warning not to stretch the
truth in our News of Brooks, which we accept
with thanks While opinions may differ, fact
is always the same. Now the point is that Bro.
Brown thinks we stretched the truth when re
said that we drove from Brooks to Monroe in
% minutes. The facts we repeat: G. E. Lane
and myself, two heavy men, and in a heavy
carriage, drove from my door to the Jones Ho-
tel in Monroe in % minutes by the watch. Mr.
Lane held the rel rs and carried the watch l
held on to the carriage expecting to be thrown
out, and when we got home l had to take the
carriage to the shop for repairs. No whip was
touched and the horse was held back in many
places, as l was afraid we should break our
necks. If any man has money to bet for trial
Mr.. Lane will confer with them. His Marcus
is dandy roadster and that is a fact.
