The first five bogs that he shut up had been in the habit of going in the swamp fields, and I knew 1 would have to shut them up, but not on Mr Rentz' account, as I did not think Mr Rentz a ruler. I shut them up however, and they have not bothered him since. I did not promise him to shut up any more of my stock, and will ask Mr Rentz before he makes another statement as broad as this, to get on his knees and ask God to help him make his statements.

I only run a two horse farm ou my place, and I h tve not asked “Header*’ to attend to them for me. 1 have one settlement on my place and two small houses, each oue of them taking up about thirty feet of land, so if he calls them settlements he is very narrow-minded. “Reader” states that I have three ponds on my place. I am glad to say that since my fjiend has quit muddying, and has gone to attend nj to somebody’s else business. I have cleared up one of my awful big ponds. He also said that I had no right to let my hogs eat Mr Rentz’ frogs, but I would like to know if it is right for Mr Rentz to give a man one half the oioney he can make by shutting up other people’s stock, and especially to drive a man’s hogs through another man'.« land and shut them up and take the best hog he has and say, “soul, thine ease, we will feast off of poor man’s earningt?” 1 can assure you that they made a track on his laud before, aud i do say that it has never been proven that my hogs were not in the road. “Reader” said that if it had not been for a false promise that a m m made, that it would have been proven that the hogs were in the field the same day. The neighbor made a state ment to me that he let the fence down to go in the field with a wagon; aid I will say this, we have a few fine blooded nogs up her 1 , but we failed to get the educated ones, those that will not go in a field when a fence is let down. He also said it was a shame for me to want Mr Rentz to split ra ; ls and build his fence, but I do not care whether Mr Rentz ever splits another rail in His life time: he can dojfjust as he has been doing for.the past five years,- build no fence. “Reader’’ is trying to attend to Mr Rentz’ business, why does not he see that Mr Rents shuts his gates and keeps them shut My friend remind* me of a possum with his sly tricks, for lie will not sign his name to his article, bat I am cot mad with him. •• we all know ks is a one-horse merohaat at Lodge, & &h«t I wiiHNkhim Is vitation to att<:ii i Liter ary Society, ami we would be glad to do so, but distance is the barrier.
