DIRTY WORK.

A number Of Augusta fans went to
Maysville Sunday to witness the Mays
ville-Cynthiana ball game. Shaw
started the game and pitched gilt-edge
ball, the Augusta rooters claiming that
he would have won his game by a
score OF to 1, but for the fact that
some Of the Maysville players "laid
down" on him purposely, thus putting
him in the hole, and he was taken out
of the game in the eighth, with the
score tied, Maysville players have il
in" for Mentor because he refused to
enter a contest to drink all he moon
shine and home brew brought to that
place. Shaw is a graduate of the
Augusta high school, and spent fouI
years here and our people know him
to be a good, clean youngster, and
they realize that 1t is for his own good
that he should cut loose from the
roughneck bunch that are doing him
dirt on the Maysville team, - Augusta

FORMER MASON
COUNTY COLORED
PASTOR IN TROUBLE
@Dr., Washington, Until Recently Pas.
tor Of Washington COlOred Church,
To Be "Churched- BY COlored
MethOdlsts.
The Augusta Chronicle says:


On Friday of last week there was
quite a gathering of the leading min
isters OF this section of Ohio and Ken
lucky at st. Paul M. E. church, col
ored. Among the present were,- Rev.
Carroll, district superintendent of
Ohio with headquarters in Cincinnati;
Pastor Pope, of Flemingsburg; Pastor
Ross, of Covington; Pastor Hickman,
of Maysville; Pastor Woods, of Ports
mouth, and Pastor White, of Augusta,
the latter acting as secretary of the
meeting.
Tho deliberations of the above nem-
ed gentlemen were somewhat delayed
owing to the non-arrival Of Wr. G. w.
Washington, formerly of Washington,
Mason county, but who now has
charge Of church at Columbus, Ohio,
as pastor. But the fact that DR.. Wash
ington did not show up, did not pre-
vent the ministers from investigating
the charges that had been preferred
against him.
While the investigation was held
behind closed doors, we are Informed
that the charges preferred against
DR.. Washington grew out of indiscre-
tions commenced at the colored camp
meeting held at Augusta last summer
the climax arriving with the birth OF
a boy bay to young colored girl
about II years old. six weeks ago.
DR.. Washington is built on the order
| OF Jack Johnson and resembles tho
noted fighter in both looks and color
and II reports are true ne had a most
winning way with the ladies.
We were unable to learn exactly
why this dusKy individual failed tC
face his accusers-whether he thought
an outraged father would work on hin
with his trusty razor or a two-handet
arrest for his alleged crime. But a
any rate, he did not follow the exam
pie of his illustrious namesake. b!
being first in war, first in peace, anC
firsty in the hearts of his country
men" He remained in that dear Co
lumbus, safe from harm, as we'll a!
avoiding the accusing eyes of tn,
mother and father of the young cir
he is accused of wronging.
While DR.. Washington failed to ap
pear at the trial here, it is not though
that he will be so successful in evad
ing the meeting called at Covington o.
July 2S. The general impression
seems to be that this Jack Johnson
ian preacher will be unfrocked.
