MR . KK.HABDS.ON REPLIES. I £„ iT obiai. Rooms op the Morning News, Savannas, Ga., June 6,1882. Editor Advertiser * and Appeal: In i voor issue of June 3d I find a com- I m nnicati°n from one J. F. Nelson, in wb'cb he maliciously and wantonly, \,y (nnneudo, seeks to represent me I j„ P n unfavorable light before the people of Brunswick. It appears that Mr. Nelson is .unnecessarily angered l, v a paragraph in one of my letters to the Savannah Morning News from Brunswick, in whioh reference • is made to the accommodations of the Nelson House dnring the fair week. In brief, the paragraph which has so • -ribly excited Mr. Nelson merely stated that the hotel was crowded, that there was genera! grumbling, and that the fare might be decidedly ■^proved This letter was written on (i-P 26th of May, appeared in the Sa vannah Morning News of the 27tb, which paper was reeceived in Bruns wick twenty-four hours before I toft the hotel. The contemptible intima tion of Mr. Nelson that I expected or would have accepted free entertain ment at the hotel is therefore shown to be utterly false 1 and gronndless.^- “ He seemed to be perfectly sUtisfied and bil'ppy until hS'i^ ,to bSht ihe Nelson House aud the Nelson House barber shop," says Mr. Nelson. Now „ f„;tnrp in anything argues-an effort or attempt, and the insinuation > of Mr. Nelson that I made such effort oij attempt is basoj despicable and/libel ons. I was not hi the barber shop firing my biiof stay, Laving no occa- ' >:j to eater it> and M>-. Beok, whom I r-.derst- od to be the proprietor of the bouse, will certainly assert that I „«ked for no specif’ courtesy and re ceive.: imrio. Friday evening, May 26tb, I : (.'quested my biff, paid Uie amount rendered, (bcitig the full rates), aud have the receipt. Further, I w ; U state for the benefit of J. F. Nelson’ that the editorial representa tives, of the Savanuah Morning News are always'abfeW pajr thterWlb, find that it is an inviolable rn'e of this, journal l<> ask no courtesies of hotels other than them which any guest has a right to expect, and‘to accept none. As I never played poker &r any oth er game of cards for money in my life, it was a matter of indifference to me whether there wero some good or bad pokor players in Brunswick, hnd 1 \v„a ignorant of that very important tact until Mr. Nelson, who is appa rently wc’l posted on gambling, an- uouness it in a contemptible supposi tion that I “may have been scarce of change" through the kindly offices of theso said good poker players. I dismiss Mr. Nolsop and bis iff tempered, unjust and nufonnded in uuendoos with submitting for his in spectiou the following statement, signed tiy roputable ei^eas of V7ny c-oss, who woro at the hotel duiiug the fi"'r wcok, which shonld comiuce him that it was not necessary to fly into a passion and resort to such des picable means as be has, of misrepre- seututio.. by innuendoes nnd.ocrert insinuations, to gra f, ly a vindictive feeling.

Honse, ^^nn county fair, and can bear testimony to the fact that the accommodations, both os regards eating and sleeping, were miserable, that it was difficult*) secure attention on account of the small force of waiters employed, and that an extra price was- demandedof regular boarders who bad the temen tyto ask for certain articles on the bill of fare.
