Respectfully, W. S. Kendrick M. D. Dean. The above explains itself and requires no comment; at the re quest of my friends and bearing in mind Sam Jone’s remarks rela tive to fighting a skunk, I have declined a newspaper war or the gratification of just desire for re venge, feeling confident that the cowa'rdly assassin of character, the author of the slanderous lie, published in the Times-Journal some time ago who has for years been trying to stab me in the dark from behind the backs of relatives and friends, will get his just re¬ ward sooner or later even without help from me. I only wish to add that the American Medical College of St. Louis Mo., belongs to that class of high grade colleges that reduire four years of study before they will even grant a diploma, and that that “so-called” Medi ca 1 College of Atlanta, that gave me “the only legal right” I have to practice after “only three months study” is with but one or two exceptions the strongest med ical college in the south, and cer tainly the strongest Medical College in the state, having for its professors such men as Kendrick, Todd, Westmoreland, Calhoun, Hardon and others equally eminent. < I have been brought before the bar of public opinion as defendant to a malicious and charge and I am satisfied to let my case rest there, knowing that the decision of this court, is always just and according to evidence.

Somewhat of a sensation has been caused at Westbrook, Laurens county, by the simultaneous dis appearance of Elijah Coleman and a woman of ill repute by the name of Tindall. Coleman has for some time past been manager of Mr. Duggat. 's turpentine business at Westbrook and also filled the posi¬ tion of woods-rider. It is said that during the course of his du ties in the woods he often visited the home of Mrs. Tindall, who lived about three miles from West brook, and that their criminal in timacy had become the common talk of the neighborhood, It seems that Mr. Duggan be came disgusted with Coleman’s actions, and a few days ago suc ceeded in getting him out of the business. On Monday of last week Coleman left for parts unknown, and likewise Mrs. Tindall, each leaving their respective families behind. It is said' that Coleman left a wife and eight children m needy circumstances, whereas Mrs. Tindall ridded herself of a hus¬ band and seven children. Coleman was born and raised in Laurens county and until recently it is said that he bore a good repu tation. His wife is highly esteem ed by her neighbors and she lias the sympathy of the entire corn munity in her trouble, We are informed that Mrs. Tin dall has left her husband on pre vious occasions and that her rep utation is extremely bad, that of her husband being pretty much on a parity with hers. No attempt has ffeen made to apprehend the runaway couple. A Pleasant Day at Chester. Our senior visited Chester on Monday last and was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. II. M. Hancock, This voting couple have but re¬ cently cast their lot with the good people of Chester, where Mr. Han¬ cock is doing a thriving mercan¬ tile business. Mr. and Mrs. Han¬ cock are delightful entertainers and the writer will long remember the few hours spent in their hap¬ py home. Mr. DeLamar Turner, the genial depot agent at that place, who was temporarily domi¬ ciled with this family, interested us with some of his experiences as a wild goose hunter and his esca¬ pades as a soldier. Our old friend, Mr. John Williams, and others, also contributed to the days enjpyment. Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Byrd were off on a visit to Vidalia, hence we were deprived the pleasure of seeing them. We hope however, ere long to again visit this pleasant village. A Chicken Thief. Mrs. Julia A. Smith, of our ci ty, had rather an exciting experi ence at her home on Monday night last. Soon after retiring, she heard some noise at her chick en house and arming herself with her gun, she hastened to the scene ot the trouble. Hie moon was gning crmsiderable light, though not shining brightly, ow ing to tha clouds, but she could no cause for the commotion among her feathered tribe. She returned to her room but soon thereafter, the noise began again and again taking make’ her gun she pro ceeded to a second search for, as she supposed, some chicken thief. Failing to discover any thing, she lighted a match and greatly to her surprise she beheld a huge ’possum only a few paces from her. demurely crouched in a corner. She immediately raised her gun, and the minced meat ot that ’possum onlv remained show how accurately she had ta ken aim. Moral.-It might lie far safer for a chicken thief visit some men’s chicken houses, than the chicken houses of some widows we might mention. Miss Annie May Bohannon has been spending some time with friends at Cochran, has returned to her home at this place. She reports a most pleasant visit. Consolidatcil Local and Persona / Items.
