MIR. F. M. Powell, of Mississippi.

The following article appeared in the
Oxford Miss Falcon of last Saturday,
the 18th:
We stated some time since that fell
low who rejoices in the name OF +. M:
Powell, had married, in the month OF
May, the daughter of widow lady, Mrs.
Alexander, who resides some twelve or
thirteen miles east of Oxford, and that
the scamp, after remaining with his wife
a couple Of days, borrowed the only horse
the poor widow had and took his fight
and has not yet returned. The item was
copied by the Memphis LEDGER, and one
of its correspondents charged that GER
tain Forrest Powell of that city was the
guilty party; and the aforesaid Powell
becoming belligerent, attempted to kill
the correspondent, but fortunately did
not succeed.
We do not know whether or not the
Memphis Powell is the party that COM
mitted the gross outrage upon defense
less widow and her family, but we are
rather inclined to believe that he is not.
Mrs. Alexander states to us that Il. M.
Powell came to her neighborhoed some
time in January, and that he remained
constantly there, so far as she can learn,
until his fight He was at her house,
engaged in working on her farm, for
about one month previous to his mar
risge. The fellow stated to her that he
was the son of widow woman who re-
sides at or near Hilsboro, Alabama, and
also that be lived at Lagrange, Tennes-
see, last year. The animal be fsloni-
ously appropriated to his own use Was
sorrel mare, four years old, blazed face,
more white on the left than on the right
side Of the face, right hind foot white and
a natural PAGER; some signs to indicate
that she had the big head. I'D.
It is to be hoped that the vile wretch
will be arrested and given the full benefit
of the law. Such creatures are dis
grace to mankind and ought to receive
no leniency. We are very certain that
none of his kind would receive any ct the
hands eff Lafayette county jury.

The speaking at Grand Junction yes
terday was attended by about four hun
dred people, mostly white Gov Senter
spoke first, and was listened to with
strict attention. Gen. Stokes was inter
rupted by the rain, but was listened to
with great respect and decorum, while he
was up, although it was apparent that
the crowd was all for Senter. The Gov
ernors speech was one Of his happiest
efforts. and is pronounced by those who
heard both to be superior to his address
Of Saturday in this city. Last night he
went down to Holly Springs, Miss, with
a cousin who lives there, and whom be
met yesterday for the e rst time. To-day
the candidates speak at Jackson, Tenn.

Dead Animals.

The law requires dead animals aud
offal to be deposited at least one mile
beyond the city limits; but there are
some drsymen and butchers who pay no
attention to law and don't seem TO care
q cent about sanitary regulations. The
Chief of Police. however, will soon gel
even" with them. He has given
authority, we understand, to gentlemen
residing on the Pigeonroost road and
Union avenue to arrest every one
found depositing dead animals or ofal
on what is known as the "Dunn tract,
through the center of which the corpora
ton line runs.
