A Reverend Rascal.
We find the following floating around
among our exchanges, taken from the
Loudon (Tenn.) Journal. Many of our
readers may remember the pious fraud:
“Our friend, IV. L. McKnight, of
Charleston, Tenn., sends us an account
of the crookedness of one John Maffit,
alias Goodwin Turner alias W. W. La-
Verne, who has passed himself oft on va
rious communities, once as a Baptist
minister, again as a Cumberland Presby
terian minister, and still again as a pro
fessional teacher. He preached last sum
mer for some time in the neighborhood of
Kingston, Ga., and attended a Baptist as
sociation while there, giving his name as
W. W. La Verne. Inquiries were insti
tuted as to where he came from and who
he was. Unsavory dftts began to he de
veloped arid lie left for pails unknown.
Soon after he turned up in the neigh
borhood of Charleston, Bradley county,
Tenn., as a Cumberland Presbyterian
minister. He contracted with the trus
tees of the high school at that place, to
carry, on their school for five years, and
purchased property from J. M. Knox,
one of the elders in that church, but paid
no money on the purchase. He bor
rowed a small sum of money from Mr.
Knox, and obtained from Rev. A. V .
Motheral, of Cleveland, several articles
of clothing. . About the first of Septem
ber he left, pretending that he was going
to Claikevilie, Tenn., for his family, and
from there to Memphis, w here he had
gome property to sell. Not returning,
Mr. Motheral w rote about, him to Mem
phis, and received the information that
there had once been a Cumberland Pi es
byterian minister by the name ot George
Turner, hut lie “left under a cloud.
McKnight wrote to Pniontown, Penn
sylvania, where it was ascertained the
imposter had been for some time, and ie
ceived the information that he had
preached for a time, had married a ie
spectahle woman of that place, and attei
swindling her out of her private fortune,
deserted her. A late number of the New
York Times says of the same individual:
One of the men whom the newspapers
are fond of calling wolves In sheep’s
clothing has recently appeared in several
of the towns in the interior of Pennsyl
vania. lie calls himself Rev. John Maf
fit, and professes to he a Baptist minister.
He occupied a pulpit some months at
Springfield, where he excited suspicion
of his piety by licentious conduct, by
copious drinking and by taking letteis
from the postoffice addressed to Goodwin
Turner. He explained the last peculiar
ity by saying that Turner was an inti
mate friend of his and w ould soon join
him, hut his licentiousness and intem
perance seemed to have keen oyer looked
—perhaps on account of his protession.
Not long after, he maraied a woman ot
property and good position, and went on
a wedding tour to Baltimore, wTiere he
robbed her of $1,500 and deserted her.
It was discovered that 'he had a wife at
Long wood, Missouri, and tjiat he had
gone, there from Baltimore, He was
traced to St. Louis, then to different pla
ces in Tennessee and Georgia, having
figured at Hall’s Mills in the latter State.
He \yas on the point of marrying again at
Cartersville, Ga., when an article in the
Baptist Observer exposed him, and caus
ed his flight. For the time his wherea
bouts are unknown. He is apparently
45, of medium height; has a large nose,
small month; blue mark under right eye,
scar on left cheek, and is a ready speak
er. Nearly all these rascally fictitious
clergymen seem to have an uncontrolla
ble passion for polygamy and other abu
ses of women: because, no doubt, they
are, from fervid piety, easily imposed up
on. The name of John Maffit is unfor
tunate,’ having been made unpleasant
ly notorious, many years ago, in the per
son of Rev. John NewTaiul Maffit, once
chaplain to congress.
A Bartow Boy’s Nuptials.
The following circumstance taken
from the Constitution will tell his many
friends how the noose was thrown around
Campbell’s neck:
The Memphis Avalanche gives tins ac
count of the marriage of Mr. Campbell
Wallace, jr., of Atlanta, to Miss Emma
D. MeComb, of Memphis, w hich occur
red in Memphis last Thursday night:
Last evening at six o’clock at the first
Presbyterian church, IV r. Campbell Wal
lace, jr., of Atlanta, Ga., was united in
marriage to Miss Emma D. MeComb, of
his city. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. Eugene Daniels assisted by
Rev. Dr. Stedman, and was witnessed
by a large nun her of friends who had as
sembled to wish the newlymarried coup
le a long and happy life. The attendants at
the w edding w ere Mr. Charles B. Wallace
of Atlanta, and Miss Lillie MeComb, of
St. Louk*, Mo.; Mr. Butler Jack and Miss
Belle MeComb, of Memphis; Mr. Hugh
Heiskell, and Miss Lettie White, of Mem
phis ; Mr. Charles Patton awl Miss Clara
■ Shorter, of Memphis; Mr. Walter Greg
ory and Miss Luan Joy, of Memphis : Mr.
Wm. Warren, jr., and Miss Emma Estes,
of Memphis. The ushers were Mack
Heiskell, and Albert Woolbridge, both of
Memphis. After the ceremony only therel
atives and a few friends attended a recep
tion at the residence of the bride’s mother.
Mr. Wallace is the son of Major Camp
bell Wallace, president of the merchant’s
bank of this city. He is one of the most
popular young men Atlanta has ever
sent out. His friends here are pleased to
know that his prospects are beautified by
his recent happy marriage. Miss Me-
Comb visited Atlanta a year and a half ago
and made many warm friends while here.
We learn that Mr. Wallace and his.bride
will reside at his elegant farm near Alla
toona, on the Western and Atlantic rail
road. We hope to see them in Atlanta
frequently.
Death of Dr. O. Pinkerton.
On Sunday night last, at 12 o’clock,
the above named gentleman breathed his
last at liis residence in this place. He
had been in feeble health for some time,
which resulted in paralysis, causing his
death. The deceased had been a resi
dent of Cartersville for a number of
years, and bore a spotless reputation. His
death is lamented by the whole commu
nity.
The Commercial Evangelists
-1 Among all the drummers who bore
I Cartersville, we like “nary” one so well
as Sanders V. Jones, a young man who
sells condensed joy for Paul Jones. He
has a good heart, splendid business qual
| ideations, with a smile and a good word
for everybody. But our friendship was
! somew hat shaken on Tuesday w hen he
presented us with a bottle of ten-year-old
elixir when he knew' we were “sehvode
off.” Our resolution behaved so well un
der the ordeal that we were compelled to
treat it.
John Stine is a fat, dapper little fellow
who runs out from Atlanta for Fuller &
j Oglesby, a leading grocery house. Stine’s
| face is as common hereabout as a new'
year’s pledge. Everybody knows Stine,
everybody likes Stine and almost every
body buys from Stine. John Stine—a
man with enough cheek, brains and clet*
erness to be a Congressman.
A fine, clever man is F. B. Law, selling
tobacco and cigars. Enterprising and
courteous he makes friends everywhere,
and he numbers his patrons among the
solid men of the town.
We haven’t seen Dan Rowe since the
new year set in. Hope he has not quit
the road. His friends are staunch and
multitudinous and he possesses qualities
of head and heart that endear him to all
of them. They’ve quit making cleverer
men than Dan Rowe.
The most modest, high-blushing little
man on the road is Pete Schikan, of P.
&G. T. Dodd & Cos. The sweet, plain
tive expression on his face steals deep
down into the hearts of his customers,
and hence his order-book is always pon
derous.
Caverly is the “toney” drummer. As
long and solemn looking as a Hamlet,
and possessing the assiduity and elo
quence of a M ethodist exhorter,he fright
ens the country merchant into buying
from him. His visits are both profitable
to his house and a great pleasure to his
many friends and customers.
Rev. Phil Haralson, of M. Haralson &
Cos., is no slouch. He probably sells
more cigars and attends more candy pulls
than any other fellow travelling, ft is
hard to tell whether his Journey!ngs are
for pleasure or profit. He gets an abun
dance of both.
There’s Joe Magnus, the Baldwin hoys,
Payne, the oil man, Cole, Lovejoy, and
a host of others representing every branch
of busings in progressive the
pride of the State, They all go armed
with low prices and new jokes and no
country merchant can withstand them.
Atlanta should be proud of these repre
sentative pilgrims, for there is not a bit
of “dirt” about a single one of them.

Judge Underw'ood, of the Rome circuit,
w'as here to see the “send off” in ou,r
court.
The Judge looks as happy as a swain
of tw r enty summers. His charge to the
grand jury w r as a scorcher.
In these days of court w'eek the dwar
fing lawyer is forced to arwise at tlie
ah-bweastly hour of eight-you knaw,
which is vewy horwid.
We know' one lawyer who has quit and
gone to horse jockeying. Verily, we are
on the broad road to prosperity.
We Lave always heard that opart week
made things lively in money matters.
This is not true from a newspaper stand
point.
We hope the court house folks will re
member our promise to serenade them
with a brass band if they get through
their business quick.
We have a special court reporter, and
as he is one of the most correct men in
the world, the public may place the most
abiding faith in his reports.

C. H. C. WILLINGHAM, EDITOR.
THE FREE PRESS
Will remain the unflinching exponent of the
free and independent voters and the friends of
political freedom throughout the Seventh Con
gressional District; and will support the great
principles of Jeffersonian Democracy tw the
grand bulwark of American liberty.
THE FREE PRESS
Will earnestly advocate these principles (the
outline of Jeffersonianism) as the lilieral politi
cal tenets that recognize the right of the people
to govern themselves independent of the edicts
of juntas, rings, cliques or combinations, organ
ized under whatever name, to defeat the popular
will for merely partisan purposes, or to advance
the schemes of personal ambition.
THE FREE PRESS
Will be, in a word, what its name imports—an
independent journal—a “sentinel upon the
watch-tower” of public liberty—to w'arn thu
people of all danger to their rights aid the
cause of “law and qpder,” and to thwart all at
tempts by corruption and intrigue to overthrow
or impair good government.
THE FREE PRESS
Will devote much of its time and space to the de
velopment of the agricultural and mineral re
sources of this section of Cherokee Georgia.—
Witli this view' we invite information from all
reliable sources in regard thereto.
THE FREE PRESS
Will ever be found to be in the interest of the in
dustrial classes, the mechanical, the agricultur
al, the mercantile, and all w ho labor, resolved to
do all it can to maintain the rights, the dignity
and the just rew r ards of honest toil of the strug
gling masses.
THE FREE PRESS
Has reached a circulation’in less than six months
never heretofore obtained in that time by any
country weekly paper in Georgia. We intend to
make it still worthier of public patroaage. We,
therefore, ask the friends of the paper to aid us in
further extending its circulation, thereby en
hancing its usefulness and value as an organ
and defender of popular rights.
