since a prominent professional gentleman
of this city entered tbo office of another

regarding himself, and which lie there re
peated, had really bedn made by tbe lat

that the proprietor of tho office reached
around iur the fire poker wherewith to
defend himself against the vol
umes ol wrath pouring out upon
him. When he faced about, however,
with his poker at “carry arms,” ho was
appaled at beholding his aggressor boldly
lacing him with a weapon in band about
the size of a small Kruppgun. I'he poker
party seeing the advantage held oyer him

to oe the better part of valor very wisely

rible blow upon the left cheek, breaking
the malar bone and turning him blind.
Mr. Perdue came at once to the city to

chapel in which John Wesley ministered
as cnaplain to the first colonists. The
lot was laid out for a church the year
that Oglethorpe landed, but no attempt
was made to build upon it until seven
years afterward, when a rude frame
building was commenced, six years
later the shingles were placed upon it,
and it was finally completed and dedi

to ashes. It was rebuilt on an
