Chattanooga Times: "Rev. Mr. KENDRICK charged
with seducing a little girl of his congregation at Columbus, GA, had a hearing on Tuesday before three Justices; and was bound to answer the
Superior Court, in the sum of $3,000. Failing to give bond, he was locked in jail, and at last accounts remained
there.
While passing up Walker
Valley a short distance; on Sunday last, we noticed wheat looking
uncommonly well. Mr. P M CRAIGMILES'
farm has the nicest we saw. Mr. PRYOR LEA has the earliest corn we have
seen.
Our enterprising friend LUCIUS OSMENT don't intend to be out done in anything. He has
erected at his residence, water-works, by which he can put out a fire in case of an accident. The works are also
fixed so as to run water to a fountian in his garden and thence by pipes to his duck pond in the horse lot. Now
JOHN
TRAYNOR is fixing to put up one also. JOHN is fixing his for the benefit of loafers--he
says he is ashamed to have them sitting around the store, so he proposes to put them in the back yard from this on.
ANOTHER OUTRAGE
If there be a law against "outrages" we want, and propose seeing it enforced. It is too bad to give a fellow candy and then tell him that you were mistaken
and gave him "crow-pizen" and
that he must wake the druggist and get something to make him vomit right quick.
Such, however, was the case last Saturday night. He was a colored youth.
He couldn't get in a drug store, but he run his finger down his throat and throwed up everything he had eaten for
six months. The poor fellow looked next morning as if he had been viewing a grave-yard.
