Simpson, the distiller, mot by chance in , this office last Monday afternoon. r The preacher and the whiskey . maker at once started a battle ml words about the blowing up of [ Simpsen's distillery with dyna , mite a few nights ago and for , awhile there was anything but a , dull time in this office. If hot words demolish a man there would not be enough left of either man to hold a funeral over. We have ( paid good money for entertainments not half so fine at was , that war of words. Which got the better of it? Ob, well we are , not the referee, but in our opinion it was a draw. We must say. hnWAVAr that ?*? ar? offnif r>f ?J1 1 ? "" that kind the preacher was handicapped, in that he could not use 1 such adjectives as the sow paw , maker used, and such as to a dis, interested spectator he showed an inclination to use. It was hot stuff on both sides. While the L quarrel was on those never.to-be I forgotten words of the sage of An. son, Judge R. T. Bennett came to us, like the memory of some I grand utterance of philosopher , or poet, ltOb, for somo form ol sounds words that the clergy , might use under stress of greal - provocation."?Monroe EnquirI er.
