10 The Editors OF the Memphis Appeal:
ORANGEBURG, October 49, - Some
nine months ago a certain Guack doctor, q.
W. Gardner, and his wife, arrived in this
town. No one knew weTr they came from
nor where they belonged. They rented q
room aud borrowed some furniture from q
negro family. In fact, they first took up quar-
tiers with negro tamiis and after ward suc-
ceeded in securing an OLD law office for resi-
dence. All n that they ma e The acquaint-
ance OF an old matchmaker named ]. z.
ThompSl IN. This man tn ,npSOn has resided
here Tor twenty years, very industrious and
good citizen. THIS man Thompson acquired
property and values TO the amount of about
ten thousand dollars or more. Mrs. Gardner
was fortune-teller, which she practiced here.
Mr.. ThomrSo being a widower, made the
acquaintance OF the GaTdneTs. He offered
them home, which they readily accepted.
as they needed one. Tue Gardeners and
Thorn psOn lived very happily together. Mrs.
Gardner being very fascinating woman and
good company, Mr.. Thompson was disposed
10 treat both Gardner and his wife with great
kindness. In the meantime the negro sued
Gardner for the borrowed furniture. Law
suits followed; old Thompson paid all costs,
and stood bail for Gardner to keep the peace
in the sum of rive hundred dollars. The
Gardners treated Thompson with so muc h
kindness that he made his property all over
TO them. After while they induced HIM to
sell the property, which he did. Tue Gard
ners have ThOmpsOn aud his money in chal 9e,
and the p sumption is that they will part
with Thompson, but not with his money.
Thompson left some debts unpaid. There are
also several people who LETT watches with
ThomTsen which they will loose. Thompson
went OF first; he lett Gardner behind TO de-
liver the watches and pay Up his accounts
VIII ;ch Gardner did not do. Ihe very night
Gardner left, his wife was arrested for cursing
a gentleman, and throwing a kerosene lamp
at him while lighted. They were served with
a warrant at the depot at twelve o'clock al
night. They paid the costs and left for Au-
gusta, where Thompson was awaiting them.
1t Is no said they have all gone 10 Memphis.
I write ii il letter so as to put the citizens of
Memphis on their guard. Thompson aston
ished everybody by his strange conduct for
he was q good citizen, conducted himself
properly, and always paid mis- debts. Since
these people got hold of him he has turned
fool. Look out for TIE GARDENERS. Also, psor
Thompson. This is the history OF old Thomp-
son : nd me a copy of your paper. Yours,
etc A. NEUFEER.

WE are glad to republish the follow
ing handsome apology of the Trans
Continental lroh Age, of Marshall for
the appearance in the columns of that
excellent journal of u scandalous as
persion on the character of Sam Hous-
ton. AS our cotemporary says, we
have no doubt thai it was admitted to
the columns OF the Age by the merest
oversight.
"rhe article alluded to was published
In the Leader during our absence, and
transferred to the Iron Age. The gen
tleman who had charge Of our paper,
and who clipped the article in question
from an exchange, is an old Texan,
and was q warm personal friend of
General Houston, and loves aud reveres
his memory. He failed to notice the
words quoted above, or ii would never
have appeared without his condemna-
ton. For ourselves, we can say that
from our EARLIEST boyhood days, we
have been an ardent admirer of
the noble old chleftain, and among the
dead heroes and statesmen of our coun-
Try, there are none for whom we have
higher or more sincere admiration
