Last week Mr.. \. l.. Longweville, OF
Dallas, Texas, was here in search Of hi
unfaithfG. better-half, who, he said, had
skipped out with man by the name OF
John Campbell. She is the identical lass
that testified in behalf Of one Mr.. Potter
who was arraigned before Justices Padgett
and Gooch at Kings Mountain, some time
ago, charged with ku-kluxing. This fair
lady saved Mr.. Potter further trouble by
testifying that he slept calmly in her arm
from dark to daylight. Her deserted hus
hand swears he will have her before he re
turns to Texas.
james Padgett, Of Missouri, is visiting
his brothers in this vicinity. In connec
ton herewith is joke which We thinl
good enough for the public. Mr.. Pad
gstt, who left this State about twenty year
ago, had, up to last Friday, visited hi
friends here but once during that time, con
sequently his arrival here was unlooke,
for, and took his friends by surprise. II
first visited his sister, Mrs. Eliza Horton
of this place, by whom he was not recoq
nized until he made known his real nam'
lie next called upon his brother Dock, rel
resenting himself as VIM. II. English, III
defeated candidate for the Vice
Presidency in the late election. Mr.. "Enl
lish' asked Dock for lodging for the nigh
which was reluctantly granted la III
conversation which followed Mr.. EN-
lish" remarked that he was hunting up sue
men as voted against him in the election
and added that he had been reliably il
formed that he Dock was one Of then
To this Dock expressed some surprise, bI
finally acknowledged he believed he dl
vote for Garfield aud Arthur, thinking
would help him a little in raising h
pension, which now, said he. is but 81 p'
month Here Mr.. English" made himss
known, aud the blush which lighted u
Docks face has not disappeared yet, Al
all attempts by friends TO induce him
turn have failed to be eileetual.
