Now, $iqca the Valdosta Time! has glade such a miserable failure in fastening uprfji us any crime, it is excused and forgiven. We have told the truth, we tliiuk, and if, a? a God-fearing journalist, we have angered «ur friend we are sorry that circumstance compelled the action.

We hay# never attempted to “mislead" the people, ueither have we ever offered to corrupt an official.—Valdosta times. Wc beg the indulgence and forgiveness of the public for re plying to the above weak, frail effiorFat humor,but really when the editor of the Times says We have no inclination to look at # sheath, but at things strip ped of their sheath,” we are compelled to “laugh out meeting.” He is simply in one of his humorous ways—he often gets in, just such moods. Now, then we will strip off the slieafh,” and let linn take a look at this: You never tried to mislead the people or cor rupt an official,” but to thwart the action of the Grand Jury few years ago. y-ou offered to do the Ordinary’s printing without charge, after the Grand Jury had said he should give the county advertising to the Headlight. Didn’t you? S we offered to do the Sheriff' printing free but we made the offer knowing that the Or dinary was willing to advertise with us, as the Jury recoin mended and the Sheriff was not. We made the offer be cause it would have made the costs on tlie Sheriff's sales less would have lightened the bur dens on those whose property was advertised, and we hoped to induce' the sheriff to adver tise with US to that end. This is truth stripped of any “sheath,” and how does our friend propose to meet it? Again, when the Grand Jury recommended that the present ments pf that body be pub lished in this paper you went to Ordinaiy Corbitt and offered to publish them without charge ill order to*’mislead” the people as to the action of that Jury. This fact lias been locked ill your besatn while you hugged the delusive hope that your at tempt to frustrate their wjlj was safe. We owe the Times no ill will. It is a fine papcr-n-uvcll edited, neatly piiuted,and reflects cred it upon the editors and propri etors, but when it attempts to misguide the verdict of the peo ple as to our intents and pur poses, we propose to “strip of the sheath” and let the truth stand to tho world’s gaze. ILLUSTRATED. WAYGROSS and SOUTHERN GEORGIA Georgia Pine lands. The Atlanta Constitution save: Six years ago Mr. D. C. Bacon, of Savannah proposed a scheme for buying up the pine forests of South Georgia. About $600,000 would have been re quired.
