AUGUSTUS VAN WICK

The last number of Frank Leslie S
Illustrated Magazine contains a fine
picture of Augustus Van Wyck. In
1876 Mr.. Van Wyck located at Gran
berry, N. c., to practice law. After
remaining there several months he
moved to Johnson City and boarded
with W, II. Taylor about four months,
from here he returned to Brooklyn,
N. Y, and began practising law in
that city At the last election he was
chosen Judge of the City Court OF
Brooklyn. Mr.. Van Wyck is thirty
nine years old, an able lawyer, and
will surely distinguish himself as
ajurist. He has many warm friends in
this country who rejoice tie learn OF
his SUCCESS.

CAUGHT AT LAST.

Carriers Depot has been annoyed
with thieves for many years. Viger-
Gus efforts have been made to catch
up with the villains, but heretofore
without success. But when Mr.. Tay.
lor's store was entered second time
the other night the citizens became
alarmed No man could feel secure
while such daring rogues were at
large. The citizens went out deter
mined to find the thieves, and they
succeeded. Suspision pointed to Bill
Harris. He was arrested, turned
states evidence and told the whole
story. Gus Anderson, John Wilson,
George Wilson and Jordan Wilson, all
negroes, are the guilty rascals. About
$175.00 worth of goods were recover
ed A part of the goods was found
concealed in the woods, and another
part in cave, Among the articles
which the Wilson negroes had stolen
were q large number of keys. They
were probably preparing to do bi!
business. Everybody reioices tina
this band of robbers has been broker
up. Without a doubt, these negroe
will serve a good long term in tn
penitentiary.

EDITOR COMET Il write to inform
you of the arrest of five negroes, who
broke into ]. G. Taylor & Cos. store
at Carriers Depot and carried off about
S240 worth of goods. Their names are
John Wilson, Jordon Wilson, George
Wilson, Gus Anderson and Bill Har-
ris, the last named was allowed to
turn states evidence, this being neces-
sary in order to secure the goods and
conviction of the others. Harris is
now on bond for his appearance at
Court to testify against his associates,
the other four are in Jail at Elizabeth
ton. The discovery of the goods, and
necessary proof to convict the parties,
are mainly due to the efforts of Mr..
JAS. 2. Taylor Of Carter county and
Dir. NJ. Al. Martin, Sullivan, and it is
due them to mention that they de-
cline to accept the reward offered by
Mess. Taylor 4 Co., and say they feel
amply rewarded in being instrument
tai i'll breaking up IL well organized
band of thieves, that has been carrying
on systematic business Of stealing in
that section Of country. Mess. lay
lor d Co. have recovered about $7j
worth OF the goods stolen from them.
Having been present during the trial
OF these negroes | can state, that in
intellect, shrewdness and cunning
they are far above the average OF
their race, and facts were developed
that go to prove that they have been
regularly engaged in stealing in Car,
ter county for months past.

A Creature Not Likely to BE AfeoteS ~
Dietary Changes.
Custom in matter of diet is constant
ly changing, but there is not likely to
be revolution that will in the least af-
feet the 'possum. Henry Clay, on
memorable occasion, was employed to
defend a man against the charge OF
murder. His opponent, lawyer from
distant State, was a powerful antag-
onist, and, armed with many absolute
facts, it was clear that Clay would be
defeated. After using every argument
that lay within his great reach, and
seeing that his words were having no
effect on the jury the skillful orator, as
a last resort, said:
my fellow Kentuckians, you all
know that / would not lift my voice in
an attempt 10 defeat justc for the su-
premacy of the law must be maintained,
but, my follow Kentuckians, there arc
times when man Is justitiable in tax
ing human life. The killing OF Darb
Moore by our friend, the defendant.
was one OF the times. Whyp l VIII
tell you: Some time ago Darb, W TIL
out provocation, said that mier no
circumstances would he cut piece of
'possum. This was more than the de-
fendant could stand. He could endure
abuse, he could put up with insulting
'nsinuations, but gentlemen. he could
not bear to hear Kentucky's gem of the
oven abused. Now ask you if he d d
not act humanely in taking the life OF
the slauderer-the would-be despo;ler
Of happy homes-the trampler upon
Heaven-sent appetitep" En-.
The jury, without leaving the box, re-
turned verdict of not guilty.
No, the 'possnm can not be sup
planted. A baked shoat is very fine,
and turkey is not bad, but in the opin-
ion Of the ''old Southerner" they are
only as chaff when compared to the
possum.
Attorney-General Garland, to use the
expression of an old negro who used to
cook for him, sis monstrous fond O.
'possum. Several years ago Mr. Gar
land, carrying basket on his arm. was
met by a friend. d. eetyir "a.
"Good morning, Senator. You seem
to have lost flesh. What is the mat
terp" ap41g g4h
II hardly know" the Senator re-
piled, "but think must be suffering

such poor health. ,......f
Eyes, it's bad. / bought three pos
sums down on the market just now and
as am still suffering from loss Of ap.
petite, / shall eat them to-day"
Nothing is more deeply touching
than the negroes love Of 'possum. II
is an affection pure and simple.
The 'possum and the persimmon ge
ripe about the same time. The swee
potato comes first, but like well dis
ciplined ally, it patiently awaits thu
coming of the other forces. .-Arkansaal
