WoMAN MooNsHINER.

Augusta Tribune: Deputy United
States Marshal Charles w. Stalnaker
reports finding the first woman moon
sinner he has ever known. Her name
is Celia Williams. She and her nus
band, Berry Williams, assisted by
John Freeman, all of whom are col
ored, have been making whisky for
long time in Emanuel county. Mr..
Stalnaker brought Berry Williams back
with him. Celia Williams the woman
participator in the moonshining game
is the mother of several little children,
who could not very well spare both
father and mother. SO Mr.. Stalnaker
left her until some more favorable
time The distillery which has been
in operation by these negroes is. in
the opinion of Mr.. Stalnaker. one of
the most cleverly constructed and ar
ranged affairs he has ever captured.
He says that it was situated in hut
attached to a barn in such a way that
no one would ever suspicion from the
appearance of the place that it was a
blind tiger.

WITH BARLOW AT MANASSAS.

Atlanta Journal: A most pathetic
scene occurred in the Fulton county
court room before Judge John S. Can
dIer when W. D. Patterson, Familiarity
known as Pat" one of the old-time
darkies who followed their masters and
served them faithfully in the War be-
tween the States, came up for trial
on the charge of running a blind tiger
in Atlanta. and made a speech in his
own defense. More remarkable still
is the fact that the speech caused
Judge Gambler to commute the SEN
tence and fine as to make 1t only cover
the costs after he had refused to do so
for the solicitor. Patterson pleaded
guilty to the charge against him. So
lictor Hill then recommended to the
Judge that the sentence be light. The
old negro arose with his hand held
above his head in supplicaticn, using
almost perfect English, said: Your
honor. don't send me to Jail. / am an
old soldier. / was with Gen. Francis
Barlow at the first Manassas; / was
at Sharpsburg and at all the battles
around Atlanta; and ] was with Gen.
Lee before Appomattox, until l was
parolled to come home and take care
of my old mistress" In this strain
the old man talked for more than ten
minutes, and when he finished there
was scarcely a dry eye in the whole
court room, and even the judge openly
wiped away a tear. "Will you prom
Use me, Pat, if change your sentence,
not to sell any more whisky? Can l
rely on your promise?" II promise,
your honor" said the old man, again
holding up his hand impressively land
you can trust me. An old soldier never
lies A round of applause swept
through the court room, unchecked, as
the prisoner took his seat. II will
make your fine $50 TO cover costs"
said Judge Gambler. The fine has not
been paid.
