Ed. Post:
I want to give you somo account
of John R. Weavor of Texas, who is
now in this county. On the 2d inst.
he came to my house and asked to
have dilinor prepared for him. My
wife, though unwell, prepared din
ner. When ho got ready to leave—
I in the mean time, having loft,home
with a load of cotton for the gin—
he drew a bill of money from his
pocket, and . asked;, my wifq v if she
horrid change a $50 bill. she
told him she could not, lie said ho
was going to Bud Hutchinson’s, and
would pay her on his return. When
he returned he told her he had boon
unable to get it changed, and that ho
was-going to set up a picture gallery
in Dublin and that she. must come
over and take out her bill in pictures.
I happened to be in town when he
came. Seeing that ho intended to
pass through without halting, and
believing that ho was ongaed in pass
ing off bad money, I stopped him,
and asked him if he had paid my wife
on his return. Ho pretended that
he did not know me. After I got
him to understand who I was, he
said he had satisfied tho lady.
“Well,” said I, “if she is satisfied,
I am not, show me that $50 bill.”
He said he didn’t havo a cent, and
offered me his knife and umbrella.
I refused to take them. He then
said, “/ know where ycur house is,
and if you detail mo or give mo any
troulle about this matter, you'll re
gret it the longest day you live."
In view of the foregoing facts, I
hereby publicly denounce John R.
Weavor as a scondrel and a liar.
