She mnv want to make a few presents at Christmas and c<.n not even do that. You mean all well, but please be more thought ful. Lawyers stand up in court houses before jurors, in tin presence of large audiences, and denounce men as liars, scoundrels, thieves and prejured villians, and when court adjourns the men appear to harbor no ill will against them. But let a newspiper faintly intimate that a man’s character is blemished, and he has to confront a horse pistol, stand a libel suit or suffer what the people think to be the greatest of all mortifications —lose a subscrib er. Our garments are old, and tat tered and torn ; the soles of our shoos are shockingly worn ; the crown and the rim are gone from our hat ; our cupboard is empty — riot even a rat would sty'round the house for fear he would starve, or that we might think him a good chance to carve; and yet we ask nothing but what is our due; and if we but had it —perhaps,sir, from you—instead of this said tale of woe that we sing, we’d joyfully shout and live like a king.

Editor : I have no desire to enter into a controversy with the Reverend S. C. Hawkins over the question of “Sunday Mails,” and write this only to deny most emphatically that anv “thrush” rnadr* Rev. Wills. I have a high regard for Mr, Will-, and did not have him in mind when I wrote the communication signed “Progress.” This being “the land of the free and the home of the brave.” every man and woman, after having at tended Divine services in the morn ing, and when dinner is o’er, and the mail is up. should have the free American right to read their let ters from friends and loved ones, and their paper, also, if they wisti. Of course, if there he a few who do not want theif mail on Sunday, why, they can wait and call tor it Monday, or. later, if they wi-b-uo compulsion about that. In conclusion, I suggest less Pur itanism, and more liberality and progressiveness ; and, my word for it, the churches and the town and county will be the better for it. Progress. Councilman Tatum. .
