An Extraordinary Affair. Aberdeen
Miss Conservative tells the following sto :
ry, which is the more surprising and remark
a&le for having occurred ia a Southern
State
few days since big buck negro, in com
pany with good looking and rather intel
ligent white girl Of sixteen, clad in boys APP
parel, was captured.in the vicinity Of Oko
Iona. Her statement was, that she was from
Alfalfa county; that she and the negro, her
seducer, had been living on terms of intima-
cy for two years; he, apPrehendng exposure
Of affairs, threatened her life if she did not
eope with him, she refused, wrote a letter
bidding her parents, brothers and sisters
final farewell, aad stating if they wished TO
see her again to search mill pond not far
distant from her fathers residence. She
then placed it where she knew they would
find it, and left the house with the determi-
nation of destroying herself by drowning.
While on her way to the pond she met this
diabolical fiend, who with knife Ia his hand,
threatened to cut her throat if she did not
follow him to free State, which sne consen-
ted to, and had proceeded as far as Okolona.
when they were fortunately arrested. She
was kindly cared for by the Masonic frater-
nifty, her father being a membec OF that or
der; they procur ed the services OF i. q.
Clarke, of our city to accompany her home,
where, we are happy to state, the poor mis-
guided girl was welcomed by her broken
hearted parents. Her father returned with
Mr.. C. to Okolona to satisfy his revenge,ex-
pecting to find the negro in jail, but was dis
appointed. 1t is said the negro made his
escape while being carried to jail.
