scandal. which is agitating the minds
of the good people in the. neighborhood
of Sweetwater. The parties to it are a
Minister bv the name of Crisman and
a Mrs Tucker, q rather fast woman with
a husband several years her senior. As
far as heard from, the scandal wears an
ugly look, appearances being against the
Minister. Fuel is added to the flames
by the fact that this Mrs. Tucker men,
toned, has suit pending for divorce
from her hege lord in which shrewd
lawyers are employed on both sides
The latest rumor is, that on trial, anoth
