Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-09-07


held. From an eyewitness, q colOred
person of known veracity, we learn
that on Sunday night last three ne
gro women, frOma pretended religious
frenzy, actually stripped themselves
stark naked, and in that condition
Jumped and rolled over the a OF
the church, n Of the happy, SIS
tiers" swinging her dress by the sleeve
and leading a chorus OF heavy pass
voices in shouts of GLORY 10 DE
Lamb" That these grossly obscene
antics N carried on lisa disgrace TO L e
really worthy cOlored people who are
connected with the church, and it GER
tainIy il blasphemy to speak of such
conduct as a part of any religious ser
vice. The attention Of the police IS
called tothe matter, and we hope that
steps will be taken TO prevent a re-
currenee fthe disgracetul scene above
referred to.
Justice Willard united a loving
couple in marriage yesterday after
noon. It would do your heart good
to witness with what delicacy and
good taste the Squire manages these
little pleasure parties; his suavity Of
manner as he requests the couple to
take their places; the benevolent smile
that plays yer his features as he
gently murmurs to the nervous bride
groom the mOmentOus question,
" Will you or won't your" And the
amiable grace with which he turns to
the blushing bride to catch her whis-
pered reply would put Grace Church
Brown, in New York, beside himself
with envy. No wonder young folks
flock to Him in preference to any
other dispenser of broken doses of
felicity. Long may he continue to
play a star engagement in this role.
The trade Of the Tennessee River
Valley, at least that of the heavy cot
ton producing region which lies be-
tween Tuscumbia and Decatur, be-
longs of right to Memphis, and we
are glad to see that the planters of that
section are opening their eyes to the
fact that this city is a better market
for them than either Louisville OF St.
Louis, whittier they have sent a large
proportion Of their cotton heretofore.
As an earnest of what is to come,
Messrs. Thomas II. Allen yesterday
received a bale of the new crop from
Mr.. Geo. Turner, whose plantation is
near CORTLAND Station, accompanied
by a note from Mr.. T. to the effect that
he proposes, with others of his neigh
bors, TO give Memphis a trial this sea-
son. Let our merchants look to it
that this trade, once secured, Is re-
tanned.

Justice Black yesterday afternoon
with about the worst looking face in
the business, and asked a warrant for
the arrest of her husband, alledging
that he had beaten her with a shoe to
the extent exhibited. She stated that
she was busy cooking dinner when he
came home, and, without any ex-
pressed cause, beat her terribly. Mr..
TwohilI has heretofore borne the char
acter of a mild and peacable man, aud
his wife stated that this was the first
time in the course of their married life
that he had even spoken a harsh word
10 her, and protested herself COM
pIetely in ignorance as to the cause of
the assault complained of. The war
rant was granted, a was also a peace
warrant. The family resides in South
street. The case will come up for eX-
animation to-day.
Justice Black yesterday fined q
negro named Gus. Wynn s., and
placed him under q bond of $500 to
keep the peace toward all persons in
the State Of Tennessee, bearing him
self especially pacific the while to-
wards his colOred brother ]. G. Lew
ellyn, for the term of six months.
The fact that the desperate darby
drew a razor on the constable making
the arrest explains the V part Of it.
The Board of Tobacco Trade held
a meeting on Saturday, at which, as
before stated in the APPEAL, 1925 was
offered as premiums by that body, to
be awarded at the County Fair. The
Agricultural Association has deter
mined TO offer an additional premium
for the best tobacco shown al the Fair.
This will make the premiums for to-
baccO foot up handsomely, and viii no
doubt aus considerable rivalry
among tobacco planters.
Mr.. S. H. Holman, the young gen.
tleman unanimously elected by the
Memphis typographical Union to the
two years scholarship rendered by the
Faculty Of Washington College, Va,
will leave the city on Saturday next
for the purpose Of joining the school.
In this connection we will take the
liberty of saying that the honor con-
ferred by the Union in the selection
was worthily bestowed.
