Character which I take MY Pen
to Describe.
The person / shall attempt to describe
| lives on Knob Creek in this county.
He is young man aged about twenty
or twenty one, about six feet high, is
very handsome, is a promising Young
man and it is said that he intends to be
a preacher-he has often been seen
reading his Bible, and is often heard
preaching to flock of sheep. Last
spring he joined a debating club, and
to become perfect in his delivery, was
in the habit of debating to cobs. He al
so has a great taste for flowers, and
among his beautiful flowers he has G
great many sun-tiowers, which no doubt
make his garden look beautiful.
