APOSTKOPHK TO THK WATERMELON.
Como to the mortal as lie site
Up n the dry goods box and sips
The nectar from the juicy lips—
Come to the youngest os he flits
Across the bigh and peaked fence
And moves with ecstacy intense
Thy charms from the native vine,
And thou art terrible !
O August-born monstrosity !
Incarnate colicosiiy I
Beneath thy emerald bosom glow.
Like glittering bubbler in ibe wine,
The Iwid fires of deadly Woe,
And from thy fascinations grow
The pain, tl e cramp, the pang, the throe—
And all we fear or dream or know
Of agony is thine !
About a year ago our citizens were made
happy by the rumor that tbe Centrul Rail
road designed building a new depot at this
place, displacing the shabby looking affair
wbieh has been made to answer ibnt pur
pose for the last ten or fifteen years. ’I bis
romor was given unqualified credence when,
a tew weeks later. Mr V\ adley appeared in
person and opened (ingot iat ions for the pur
chase of a building site ; but nothing at aji
bas been done in tbe way of improvement since
that time. Why tbe project was aban
doned, no one knows. The necessity for'such a
building Is certainly as apparent now as then.
Our little city is constantly growing in
business importance, and receives more
freight and ships more cotton than any other
town on the road, except Griffin and Bartles
ville. It is also a distributing point for
McDonough, Locust Grove, Wynn's Mill,
and other places, and the present building
is plainly not equal to the purpose for which
it was intemled We should like to hear
front Mr. Wadley on tbe subject.
A first-class scandal is agitating the
usually quiet neighborhood of I’ossahaw
district just now, to the infinite disgust of
the good people of that chaste community.
It seems an attempt at blackmailing was
recently made by a woman residing in that
particular locality, in which she was aided
•nd abetted by her husband, who, singularly
eiioagh, is a minister of the gospel. The
affair was brought to the notice of the
cburcb, and in view of the previous high
standing of the parties concerned, and the
circumstances of the case, it was thought
proper to investigate the whole matter. In
accordance with thi* resolve a cammittce
was appointed, who have bern actively
engaged for two or three weeks past io
collecting evidence, and they will make their
report to-morrow. It is expected the case
will develop an amount of richness hereto
fore unknown in the annals of church trials
in Henry county, and may furnish material
for a new sensation. At any rate, the
bottom facts will be reached, and if nothing
elae is accomplished the public mind will he
set at rest.
