| "A well ureSSeu Wnlte woman repre-
senting herself as Fitzhugh Lees cousin
called at a well-known colored woman'S
house, named Cokine, in this city, one
day last week and stated that there was
gold and silver buried on her premises
and by furnishing her some gold and
silver to melt and place in her mineral
indicator she could locate the treasure
The colored woman only had six dol
lars in silver and gave that to her to
melt, the wh6e woman was to supply
the gold to melt with it. She took the
silver and went off to melt it and never
returned, thus dipping the colored wo-
man with false promises.
Rev. J. H. Patton preached two mag
niticent sermons last Sunday at the
Presbyterian church to large and APP
preciatiye congregations. In the morn
ing the text was taken from the para
BILE of the sower, and in the evening
from the parable of the leaven in the
three measures of meal. All who miss
ed hearing these two sermons suffered
distinct loss, for they were soul-up-
Hitting beyond the power of words to
describe.
