a Hairless Outrage.


a cypreda who sported the musical
patronymic of Carrie CrOny met with
very sad accident last Friday night
she had been engaged the evening pre-
Vious in sampling some erubescent bust
head Yended by negro at cOlOred
bagniO on a back alley near the ST.
Charles, and in her zeal to keep any
body else from getting any she became
so much excited as to lose all control of
her feelings, which were suffered to ex-
press themselves in numerous yells and
divers cuss-wUrds, ard when her voice
could no longer aid in the hullabellOo
she was raising, she brought her person
into requiSition and continued the Vul-
gar seance by indecent gyrations of body
and limbs. At this juncture City Mar
shall Richardson appeared and bore her
off to safe and shady nook meath the
hOspitable roof of We city Jail and left
her to rub whitewash into her back I'M
til natures sweet restOrer should chase
away the illusion she was toting on her
mind, when he ordered that she should
be turned out. She got sober enough to
be released at about O'Clock that night,
and wended her way off in search of
anything that might turn up-and here
we lose her until next day. Early next
morning Mr.. Richardson was notified to
90 down to the fOOtlog by the Kercheval
spring and solve mystery that lay scat
tered around on the ground. He went
and found that there was nothing but
hair, hair, hair-hair to the right, hair
to the left, in rear, before, all around,
everywhere, and then he swept it up
and gathered it up and tied it up and
wrapped it up. And he looked again,
and behold! a tar paddle lay snugly en-
scOnced upon a rock near by, and then
the idea dawned upon him that his fair
prOtege of the night previous had been
unfeathered and tarred. Such proved
to be the case, for he was sent for before
long and employed to ferret out the vile
perpetrators of a CHASTITY outrage upon
her whom he had took in out of the
wet, and he found her hairless and tar
full. Her head had been denuded Of its
splendid dressing, and in its stead coat
of tar had been applied, and here she
was scrubbing and cussing.
$500 REWARD.-By virtue of all the
powers vested in me as the champion OF

purged of $500 in good and lawful mon

who shall deliver into my custody the
perpetrators of an ignominious outrage
upon the person of one Carrie CrOny on
Friday night, the goth inst, which out
rage consisted in the shaving of her
head and the tarring of the same (the

Considerable damage was done IN the
lower part of this county by the storm
that prevailed through the Tennessee
Valley on Sunday night. Every house
on Esq. Cary Gilbert's place, near L0P-
lar Hill. was unroofed, and muck of his
cotton and other goods were blown
away. The roof of his dwelling was
torn away and a trunk lifted out over
the walls, but his family escaped injury

A Magnificent Farm.

We had the pleasure of a visit to the
Kennedy farm, miles northwest of
Pulaski, last Saturday. The farm is the
property of Messrs. j. b. Stacy, Sr.,
and w. Haynie Rose. Mr.. Rose lives
upon the place and the work of i'm
provements now going on are directly
under his supervision. The farm COM
priscS $50 acres, nearly all cleared, laid
off in meadows, fields and lots with
great care, and is all splendidly fenced
and cannot be beaten for productive
ness i'll the South. Mr.. Rose is now
building a lot of fencing which will
complete n perfect system of stock lots,
all contiguous to the splendid barns and
stables and conveniently arranged. The
stock upon the place consists of sixty
five head, comprising some of the best
blOoded stock and thOroughbreds. Bay
Woodford, a horse every body knows in
this county, and two of the finest jacks
in the county, Compromise and Morgan,
are upon the place, together with several
bloOded brood mares, work, trOtting and
saddle horses, and several promising
thorough bred colts. A splendid half
mile track is laid off just below the sta
bles, as level as a floor, and altogether as
perfect as can be, and experienced
grOoms train and exercise the horses
daily upon it. Mr.. Rose has greatly
improved the whole place since he has
been upon it, and we think he will
make it one OF the most perfect stock
farms in the county. He is assiduOus in
his labOrs to secure this end while Maj,
Stacy is lending vigorous help in Sc
curing the best bloOded stock to be had

Eniscnnal Smnner.


The supper for the benefit of the Epis-
copal Church at this place will positively
take place on tonight week, Dec. 3rd.
The ladies who have it in charge are de-
termined on no pOstpOnement, and eV-
eTything will be in readiness to enter
tain everybody in Pulaski and vicinity.
The congregation is very small at this
place and the burden of the supper falls
upon few persons, and we do conf
IDENTIFY hope that our people will unani-
mously assist them in their good work.
The fact is, however, we do not see how
any one person can afford to be absent,
because every body else will be there,
and no one wishes to see everybody en-
Joy themselves while he or she is stingi-
ly mOping away the time at home. And
then such enjoyment as it will be! We
have heard of feasts of reason and flow
of souls, but these do not appeal to the
inner man so powerfully as a magnifi-
cent table spread full of costly viands
prepared and served by good and beau
tiful ladies. Oh, let's all go and eat.
The parties who have kindly volunteer
ed contributions for the supper are re-
quested to send them in by 10 o'clock
Thursday morning.

DIR. Rivers Lecture.

Thursday night, Rev. r. II. Rivers, d,
D., delivered, in the Methodist church
of this city, the first of a series of lee
lures to be delivered from time TO time
before the cadets of Warren College.
The church was filled with an appreci-
ative audience. The subject of the lee
ture was, "DecisiOn of Character" and
it was handled with much power and ell
oquence by the distinguished orator.
The lecture was replete with sentiments
of the most elevated character, thoughts
that were soul-stirring, examples that
were inspiring, and the whole was
clothed in language the most chaste and
scholarly. We are gTatitied that DR..
Wilson has inaugurated this series of
lectures, believing rs we do that they
will be profitable not only to the students
of Warren College, but to the whole
community. DIR. Starke of Russellviile,
we understand, will deliver the next
misunderstanding Green Democrat l4th.

My Unknown Friend.
BY W. P. ABFRNATnY, JR.


Forget them; how can I; the friends of my
youth;
Nay, ask of the ocean its waves to retain;
They are sacred to me as the fountain Of
truth,
While memory is mine and while life viii
remain.
All! words are but feeblel fan would express
The feelings that flow from the depth Of
my soul;
How grateful those feelings, would not re
press
Emotions that reign with un5o1nding con
troll.
How can I requite them! unable feel;
Of friendship so noble, scarce worthy am l /;
Their soul-breathing songs DER my senses
they steal
Their sweetness and beauty, ali, who can
deny.
How sweet is tho pleasure, the joy they i'm
part!
How pure is their pathos, how touching
their tone
1t seems to come forth from tho depths ofthe
heart,
Attribute to me from the generous unknown.

arose TO depart. As they crossed the
