more pleasure than to speak a good word for you, and about you, at all times. You were a friend to me when I was a small boy. My grandfather was old and sick with consumption, and unable to work, and was poor and was living in Thomson at that time, and you came to our relief. Well do I remember, although I was only nine years old, when yon would come down to our house to she what was needed, let it be something to eat or wood, or medicine, you were ready to give. Mr. Watson, I expect you have forgotten all of this, and would like to know who it was, but I never will forget it as long as I am- living. And I must not forget your good wife. She was just as good to my mother ind grandmother as she could be, and expect she has forgotten to whom he loaned a helping hand in time of iced, but God has it all recorded in a •righter land.

Dear Sir: I see from the papers Secretary Cortelyou will issue fifty millions in U. S. bonds, and one hun dred millions in certificates. Will the latter bear a legal tender quality? Why not issue greenbacks? It is the proper thing for our local banks to do, to send the money of depositors, on which there is no security, to be used without security by speculators in other locations than that in which the money belongs? What will ba the result when the masses of de positors understand that their money is shipped off to Northern banks, and they are left to do business on checks? What has become of the 150 millions of gold reserve? Is this the kind of occasion for which it was intended? Your attention will oblige Your friend, WILLIAM W. ANDERSON. THE OLD HERO COMES AGAIN.
