The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1872-03-21


The congregation of the Methodist F..
Church South at Canton, and the whole
people of that city, have been most outrage
ously imposed upon; the particulars viii be
found in the following extract from the
Canton Mail:
At the meeting Of the II. i. Conference
last fall, man calling himself W. r. fIor-
ton, presented letters from emmett dlvines
in New York and elsewhere. recoumeDding
him to the fraternal courtesies Of the mem
bers of the Conference. II was judged that
as he came so well recommended. IL would
be well to assign him TO an important
station. and he was, thereupon, sent -
Canton. Everything passed of smoothly
until last Tuesday morning, when the career
of the Young man. in Canton was suddenly
brought to an end by dispatch from Bishop
Kayanaugh, to the officers of the Church
here, announcing that all those letters of
recommendation to members OF Conference
were forgeries and the man Horton an i'm
poster. No information could have been
more startling and unexpected. without
a moments hesitation the officers Of the
Church assembled and Immediately dis
posed OF the scoundrel, who not only im-
posed upou Che Church bar upon the whole
community. The Indignation Of every one
was thoroughly aroused against "A william
who could thus dare to cloak himselfin the
garb of righteousness in order the more
effectually TO accomplish bis devilish pur-
poses.
This man Horton IS one Of Olive Logan's
''nice young men," In appearance. He is a
dashing fellow; dresses in the height Of
fashion, and is good looking to au uncom-
mon degree. There is no question as to his
talent, which has so easily enabled him to
play the role of an impostor. He preached
most eloquently, and while there was
nothing of the reverend In his general de-
meanor, yet such was the feeling he eXhib-
tied, such his apparent zeal ana interest IN
the good cause he protested, that he DIS
armed the larger part of the community OF
suspicion. He is as great genius rs he is
scoundrel, and we do not ordinarily near
such sermons as fell from this wretch's lips
Sunday after Sunday, ia crowded houses,
shis eloquence as a preacher was attested.
Never was there a more complete humbug
Hortonis about five feet eight inches in
hight; in figure, slender and erect; has
Aorid complexion; walks with somewhat
of a swinging gait hair bushy and some
what disposed to curl; has very assuming
manners; uses slang in his conversation,
though he seems To have well-cultivated
mind, and claims to be graduate of Edin-
burg University, Scotland.
The Great EEaiE. EprOducer.--Hair
Oils, Pomatums and Pomades have had
their day. They belong to the musty past.
Nobody that understands the chemistry OF
the hair and the philosophy of its growth
thinks of using them. Instead of cl0gging
the pores of the scalp with thick onguents.
and thus obstructing the insensible perspi-
ration which is essential to the health of the
ffbers, we now tone the surface of the head
with an invigoIating application which PEN
etrates to the roots of the hair and stimu-
hates them in the same way that the fertili-
zing agents spread oyer the meadows slim
ulate the grass roots and cause the blades to
spring up in myriads, coating the earth
with verdure. The invigorant best adapted
to this purpose is LYONS KATHAIRoN. 1t
well be called the fertilizer % the head.
To the barren scalp it communicates vege-
tatIve power. If the hair is dropping out
or becoming dry and withered, it arrests
the process of dilapidation or blight. The
hair thickens and becomes glossy and tlex-
ible under its genial operation, and as a
dressing it is unapproaehed by any prepa-
ration that has yet been laid on the toilet OF
Fashion,
