Many queer things have occurred on the
Old Seventh court ground in HARRISON
county. Some years ago the farmers in
that section became convinced that some
body was making away with their hogs. IL
was at first thought that wild animals from
the neighboring woods were responsible for
the missing stock, but at last suspicion
rested upon a man named Umphrey Possy.
A posse was organized and ell the meat was
found at Posey's house, where !, 900 pounds
OF 1t had been stored away. Court was
convened, Posey was arrested and the JUS
tlce called upon to pass sentence. Liquor
flowed freely; the justice was in bis cups,
and it was at first decided TO sell the
meat and divide the money among the
crowd. But it was such lean bacon nobody
wanted it, and so the justice decided that
the best way to dispose Of it was to burn it
and make PoSey pay the costs Of the jollif-
cation. This was accordingly done. The
crowd was wild with excitement. With
mad shouts they seized the confscated meat
and piled il up until it reached the top Of
the house. Then they placed fagots around
1t and 1T was soon burning mass. The
crowd shouted with savage delight as the
flames cracked and the smoke from a
thousand pounds OF more Of home raised

greatest jollifcation ever known in that
section. aud is often referred to by the
parties who were present and participated
in it.
Montezuma Record: There has been a
nice state OF affairs over about Snow
Spring, in Dooly county. for some time ,Iand
the good citizens of the neighborhood
brought it to a climax one night last week.
1t appears that a man named G. NJ. Faux
had been defying public opinion, outraging
decency and making the community smell
bad generally on account of his ugly con-
duct. He mas prostituted two or three
young girls who reside near him, and the
patience of the neighbors became thread
bare after long time. A band of white
caps was formed, though they wore no
masks, to rid the community Of such uude-
sirable people. They tried to catch Faux at
the house several times, but he was entirely
too slick for them. He heard that they
were after him and he remained away from
their home for some time. AS soon as the
matter quieted down he went there again,
but was not caught. These citizens openly
declared their purpose, and made no special
secret OF their work to get rid of a vicious
and demoralizing set, went to the home Of
the girls, took them out and cbastised them
very severely, giving them certain length
OF time to leave the county. They wanted
to punish Faux also, but could not appre-
bend him. Faux and his crowd of women
came to Montezuma, took the train aud de-
parted for parts unknown. Faulk has
family and his wife owns good farm, and
has unlimited credit with merchants in
MonteZuma. She is good woman, and
has the respect Of all her neighbors
