The debt would be so great that the tariff would have to be put back on what it has been taken off and then raised 75 per cen cent. just to pay the interest. We learned from an Adrian gen- tleman, whe was in the city Sunday, that the Rev.( ?)Sly had either sold or leased the Advertiser to his foreman.

Mrs. E. M Tinsley when she closed out her store at this place turned the post- office over to me in January with her re- signation in my favor and then Chas, H. Morgan, then member of Congress from this district got me the appointment ia March. That I reported J. H. Tinsley tor selling whisky is a lie of his own make. When did Tinsley leave Burdett? in Jan uary 1884 and the first whisky that was kept in my store was in October 1885, nearly two years after Mr. T, left th State, and I will here give my reasons for keeping it and about the amount we have sold in the ten months we have bee, keeping it. In May 1884, Dr. J. W France located in Burdett for the purpo- of practicing medicine. There was: drugs kept in town and tor that reasor agreed with Dr. France that we wor put ir drugs in our store under the fi name ot '. W. France & Co., Muda McNeil being the silent partners.

And this is all the spirits that have been in our establishment since that time, and I am able to prove it, Sly to the contrary Out of the above amount we have left a part of the 36 gallons of whisky, a part of tne alcohol; about 4 gallons apple brandy. about the same ot the blackberry brandy and nearly all the Port wine. So much for the 13 barrels of Sly whisky.
