order to reach here, as the Democrat saws but |
when his daughter told him of her marriage, |
the paternal blessing was not long withheld and |
all things speedily went "merry as a marriage |
bell" The bride was presented with sum of |
money as wedding present and liberal
dowry was settled upon her

klux, seized youth named Leonard jackson and
bore him 10 cemetery, where they compelled
him to kneel on the grave of young woman
buried there, and pray for forgiveness for injury
to her, the nature of which is not stated. They
then took Jackson and pitched him into q mud
puddle and nearly covered him over with stones.
He was discovered and carried home, where he
lies in pecarious situation. The violators of
the peace have not been discovered.
