VOL. X LOUISE TO CLARA. Dear Clara :— { have always read your letters with a great deal of p!easure, bat your last letter, was filled with suppositions and defenses of those who ought to act better when they attend our social entertainments. | | agree with your letter of last week when you say that the Ban- paker society was not responsible for the action of the woman who eaused the disturbance at their entertainment. A woman who is married bas no business to insult another married man becanse he | refased to danes with her. Women of suspicious characters have no | business to be associated with peo | ple who endeavor to live above | suspicion. The Bannaker aszocia- | tion is composed of young men of | inflaence and character in this city and it isnot right that the | association should lose its influence | on account of some woman who does not care for her reputation or character, lt have been informed that the woman who created the disturbance proposes to answer your letter. I bope she may, and then the public will not be sarpris- ed. In regard to young ladies being employed as clerks in stores, I still insist that young ladies who are employed in stores should be care- fal and condact themselves in such a manner that will not injure their _charac« ‘and reputation. A lady should t jast as reserve in an ot- fice or a tore as she sbould ina parlor, fou think thatit is well for our \girls to patronize the Anglo axons, I don’t think so. I} am always pleased to meet a polite and refined sales-woman or a clerk in an office. An accomplished sales-woman or a clerk is a jewel. ate I was indeed shocked when I learned of the death of Mrs. Sella Martin. She was indeed a noble wolhaus ane Well Gen. Ordway will enter suit against Major C. A. Fleetwood. There is one thing certain and sure that Major Fleetwood has “none of those things in his pockets and I know that he can account for every thing that has been given him. -* I am one of the few, I suppose, who don’t believe that Prof. J. M. Gregory is guilty of what his ene- mies charge him with, I know that there are afew ambitious men who are anxious to get on the school board and 1 know that Mr. Daniel Murray, one of the interested par- ties in the charges against Prof. Gregory, is one of them.

I shall have the same respect and consideration for him as I have always had and I hope that his friends will be mag- nanimous enough to hold their ver- dict until competent and impartial | men have passed on his case. *,5 1 never laughed so mach in my | life as I did last week when I read an account of the Baptist ministers | meeting in South Washington.

Never convict a man until you | hear both sides of the question. Don’t condemn a man because others do. Prof. Gregory says that he is not guilty. He ought to know what he 1s talking about. Suppose he borrowed fifty thou- sand dollars and threw it away, whose business is it? Can’t a person borrow money? Some people don’t know what to say. There is a great deal of jealousy against a rising man, If {Gregory is guilty he will re- sign.

The Baptist Conference was only a war of words. The sober men had to quiet the excited ones. Rev. Waldron wasonly vehement in his expressions to Rev. Brooks. Rev. Brooks was emphatic only.
