Augusta Herald: Maria williams, the
old colored woman, about GO years old,
who was so badly cut by a young negress

that the assault upon the old woman was
an outrage, as she is of a weak mind.
The old woman was cut twice in the face
and once in the arm. The. face wounds
are very ugly and are in dangerously
close proximity to the throat Physicians
at the Lamar hospital where Maria now
IS say the wounds are of very serious
nature.

her mate is not quite as sweet sugar
and in order to get revenge reported Aaron
to the marshal.
