A Walker County Sensation. *
The upper portion of McLemore’s
Cove, in Walker county, Georgia, lias
recently been the scene of a matrimonial
sensation which rivals anything of the
kind ever before known among that
steady-going, law-abidmg and Uod-serv
ing people. The circumstances of the
alfair, as gathered from citizens of the
Cove, are substantially as follows ; ;
“Less than a year ago, .two well-to-do
young farmers, Robert Woods and Jo
seph Colquitt, each took himself a wife
and to all appearances were happy in
their respective alliances The young
ladies chosen by the two i aimers were
of a good respectable character parfnti^,|andtaab as well as a Teputal bore ion
for intelligence and a proper qualilica
tion for all the duties in their splwre of :
tife.i All went happy with Ute ^wiv
young couples until one night last week,
when they met, at a neighbor’! house,
where they had been bidden to a frolic
01 ' lmrty : i Ie * e the conversation turned
on married , life, , and the respective mer
its of their wives were freely discussed
b y tl, e y°«ng husbands. In this cotiver
satwn Woods confessed a fondness tor
Colquitt’s wife ; Colquitt acknowledged

A Tradition of Pine Mountain.

in Harris county about Pine Mountain
the lead they used for molding bul

years ago must have been taken from or j

We have heard before that there was
gold in this mountain, but the existence ,
of lead was not known to us before. Iri
those old days of which we have been

along there too. Zeke Brown, named
