Major Mair in future resides at Te Awamutu.

The Unfortunate Man.

There is great indignation here at the blackguard conduct of George Jones, jun., who sent a copy of the echo to Mr M orris with low scurrilous remarks in his hand writing on the margin. The letter from Mr Morris published in the echo was impudently altered. The promissory note was an accommodation to Jones. Morris paid Jones £45 in advertising. Jones always ran large grocery bills, which Morris took out in advertisements. The name of George Jones, jun., stinks in the people's nostrils here.
