SECRET MARRIAGE
There was a marriage in our

Ordinary, who refuses to be in
terviewed.
It is understood that they
keep the matter a seoret till th*
“old folks at home” become re

public are curious to know who
the contracting parties are.

! ADJOURNS, SINK DIE.
Tim horse-swappers conveu*
j tion has c .id gone.
It was a gathering long to be
remembered, and the owners
of (dd “rips” swapped, threw
and give away so much that
even the professional trader of
long standing never saw it*
equal before. One man had a
“nag” that he valued so low he
tried in vain to make some man
a present of it, but he could
not- Finally he was accommo
dated by an old trader who
took the “nag” and before
leaving the ground swapped the
animal off for a pretty good
horse and fifteen dollars in
cash, and thus the thing went
on as merry as you please. If
a fellow came down to the
bridle or if he came out “on
top” he took it for his part,
seeming to realize that he had
contributed that much to the
fun.
Tho three days of the con
vention were cold and rainy,
but the crowd didn’t seem to
mind the weather. General
headquarters were in the old
factory lot, and a person could
soe so many relics of antiquated
horse II sh that it was a regular
mmiageri# to look upon.
A large number of counties
were represented on this occa
sion, and it was truly a rod
letter time for the professional
trader.
W. J. Oakes was “cliiof-eook
and bottle-washer,” anil after
making the welcome address
turned the town over to the
visitors.
The convention adjourned

LETTER FROM MR.CHEEK.
Editor Herald: Will you
please give me space in your
paper to reply to Mr. Burell’s
article, whicli appeared in your
last week’s paper ?
Now, Mr. Burell, you say you
have analyzed my list of 95
names, and on said list are
about BO like myself—transient
renters You say this kind of
people have very little interest
in post ollices or anything else;
a grand insult to your neigh
bors, if neighbors to you they
be. It i- an indisputable fact
that your little thriving town,
•is you call it, consists of only
9 families, and 6 of these fami
lies are renters, whom you say
have no interest in post offices,
and ns you intimate are worth
less beings, wandering to and
fro upon the earth, and not one
foot of your land do these rent
ers cultivate. You seem to be
us a big dog amongst a crowd
of cuts. You say that 15 or 20
resident citizens opposed the
removal of the office, which you
know is not half the number.
You told some of tho citizens
that John Williams could not
get license to teach school, and
that you saw him tare up his
articles, which was utterly
false. You intimate that the
little post-marking stamp was
all you received when the of
fice was turned over to you.
The public will readily under
stand why you can make such
an assertion. (It you can’t
find all of the office go to Mr.
Neal Cole: lie will bring it to
tho front for you.) You say
tho office came up without char
acter or record, and that you
think it will make a good rec
jj;d yet. If it does it will have
to beat its master. In couclu
sion, Mr. Burell says Lo hopes
this will satisfy the aggrieved
citizens, as it was purely a bus
iness matter, and that the of
fice was removed on “a cause
of complaint,” (If that be
the case he ought to be re
moved.) As to tho truth of
(he rumor he says he don’t
know, “but Ido know,’ he says,
“there is soch a report, and I
can give the names of various
citizens who beard it talked.”
Poor excuse indeed! Ho says
he bas been forced to publish
his article in justice to himself
ind Mr Cole. Now, Mr. Bu*
roll told several parties thai
Mr. Cole told him there had to
be a change made in Cam’s
post office, at.d asked him (Bu
rell) to take the office. Now
Cole says he don’t know any
thing about the removal of the
office. Now', Mr. Burell, you
know as well ms I do that the
itizens, (leaving out the rent
rs, whom yon despise) the for
mer patrons of Cams post office,
are not satisfied and will not
lie as long as it remaius where
•t it. Now, as to tho land in
your burg that you say has ad
vanced iu value to one dollar
per square foot, I am reliably
informed that you have been
legally put on notice not to
put youi f. . - on said land,
inder penalty of the law-, and
•aid laud is within HO or 10
feet of your prized office. You
ire the only man I know of in
your towu that is not allowed
to go where he pleases.
Now, Mr. Burell, just a word
•r two in reply to your slur
about my past record. I want
to inform you that I never done
anything in my life that 1 was
ashamed of. If you want to
write up a truthful card of my
life anil publish it, do so, but
when you get it all you Hud me
to be like the man that had to
| leave this county and go to the
• West, and was gone four years,
j and during his absence a baby
was named, and it was rumored
after his return that he had
left two more in the West un
named. Did you ever hear of
that mair? Now, sir, come
again, if you are not out of
soap. I have enough left to
wash you whiter than snow.
If I have to reply to Mr. Bu
rell again, I will give the read
ers of The Herald wlfat the
ladies have to ssy about Ins re
ply to the protest, and about |
the removal of the office, and 1
don’t propose to write anything
but what I can prove.
