HORRIBLE.
Sad Fate OF Two Beautiful
Girls.

Two comely and intelligent girls,
aged respectively twelve and thirteen
years, arrived in this city, few days
since, unattended and apparently
friendIess. Their conduct, free and
easy, aroused the gravest suspicious OF
those around the raihoad ticket Of
fee, which led to inquiries concerning
their history. The only information
elected was, they resided at Hickman,
KY, and were en- route for Memphis,
being tired of their homes. They res
fused to give their names or answer
other questions which would lead to
their identity. That they were on
the high read to ruin and disgrace,
there is hardly doubt, as facts known,
which must be omitted here, prove
conclusively. Whether enticed from
the domestic circle by some wiley par
amour, or seized by a hellish frenzy to
blast their lives, remains yet to be de-
termined. The last seen Of the I'M
fortunate young girls, they were
boarding the train for Memphis,
where doubtless they will plunge into
the maelstrom of vice which sucks in
innocency and browns virtue.

success, which he will certainly attain.

A novel scene presented itself TO our
people last Saturday. IAN Eek minis
ter of the gospel was arrested on sus-
picion of having committed murder at
Big Sandy, Benton county, and held
in "duranre vile" from II a. m. until
II midnight, when he was discharged,
the officer who came down from the
theatre of action failing to identify
him as the murderer, whereupCn the
ex divine, like the silent Arab of the
desert, quietly folded his tent and
stole away in the darkness of the noe
turnal surroundings. BY the way,
he is an intelligent man and We sin
cerely deplore his fall. Maybe he
will be restored to grace.
Another heart,sick soul ostensibly
attempts "to throw off this mortal
coil, by taking an overdose of NOR
phine. On Sunday night, after at
tending church with his loved one, a
certain disappointed young gallant
from a neighboring county went to
the drug store, purchased twenty-five
cents worth of morphine, repaired to
the Mckenzie house, and in the pres
epce of several young bloods of Nc
Kenzie, called for a glass of water,
and deliberately proceeded to mix
and drink said poison, as he vainly
thought, to their utter dismay. The
bloods, however, cody took in the sit
uation and determined that the fraud
ulent make-believe suicide, shouldn't
have the benefit of a first>class sensa~
ton, hence they quietly continued to
smoke their cigarettes and crack cheap
jokes as though nothing had occurred
to mar the sercnenesS of the occasion.
After few moments spent i'll writing
a farewell epistle to his dulcinia, the
affected desperate youngster became
nauseated about the stomach, and vi"
olently elected all he had madly swal-
lowed. Go SLOW, young man; you
justly merit the contempt Of the fair
young lady and all the world besides.
