: We had a gloom cast over our com

history that such thing has ever oc
cured here. A buck negro came acros
:. from Chattanooga to Whitwell Thurs
day and on the pike between Hick'
Chapel and Hickory Grove he met Mis-
Condra as she came horseback from
Whitwell, and made bold attempt t.
assault her by taking hold of he
horses bride and tried to jerk her of
i the horse. The horse got scared and a
i he jumped she gave him cut will
her riding switch and jerked loos'
from the scoundrel and made her es
cape. Miss Condra is the daughter o
B. w. Condra and granddaughter 0
Houston Grayson, and is from nobl
family in nigh standing and we'll to d.
and she is one among the most respec
h table young ladies in Marion county
and if this African brute is caught
which report says he is, the good

will roll wheel or burst tire.
, Everybody is about done laying b.
E and threshing wheat, and will get
few week rest and as there is nov
D nothing doing with part of them, th
News Office ought to be crowded witt
