Dear Sir :
In your paper of Feb, 23, I read
a decided error relating to the in¬
cident that occurred between the
negro employed by me and a white
boy. I don’t know who the au¬
thor was, as no name was signed,
nut 1 wish to say in the first place
that he either knew nothing of the
facts or else he willingly misrepre¬
sented them from the btgiunirng to
end.
May I just put the plain truth
before the publio? I feel sure that
you would not have sveh an unjust
misrepresentation go uncorrecled
in tiie columns of your payer.
In the article referred to, the
writer leaves the impression that I
chielded the negro from law,which
is a decided mistake. He was
given a trial and fined and the fine
was paid before he left Cornelia,
but no time was given him on the
streets as was stated in said articie.
The had taken its course. 1 did
not make any effort to interfere;
1 would not be guilty of such an
act. I am a man with some de¬
gree of honor.
And let me emphatically say
that nobody even hinted to me such
advise as that I bad best leave Cor¬
nelia. .My plans to leave had been
perfected two weeks before the
negro’s trouble. I am not asham¬
ed of the truth concerning this
matter; rather, I want it known.
Therefore, I cannot refrain from
denying such an unauthorized in¬
famous falsehoad.
Respectfully,
E. II. Hutchings.

I am sending you $1.50 for a
continuation of The Courier as we
like it so well. 1 think it is the
best paper of all the other five I
leceive. It is supreme to all be¬
cause it urges county and town to
do their best. What Tire we here
for if we don’t do our best in every
thing that is rightly for our own
good, and those yet to live. It
looks like those yet to live may
have a hard time.
Many good wishes to you and
your many readers. May many
blessings, both spiritual and tem¬
poral, come to you t h rough ton L the
year.

My Dear Ilomefolk :
Received your letter at Nash¬
ville and was glad to hear from
you and that all was well.
Did you have any storm Sunday
night? I left Nashville Sunday
P. M. and was in Clarksville Sun¬
day nifiht. Had a bad storm,
several honses were Mew down
and a part of the hotel I was in
was blown off. This happened
ubout nine o’clock and at one-thir¬
ty A. M. some one come up stairs
yelling that the hotel has burning
ups It was on fire in the lobby
and at first 1 thought we were
trapped, us this was the only pos¬
sible way out. But it was burning
only on one side, so I came down
half dressed and sit on the steps of
the court house from one-thirty till
four-thirty in the rain and cold,
where I contracted a dreadful cold,
but it is better now.
Everybody got out and none
were hurt. Most all the block
burned.

far. I am beginning to get down
