C^ELACK-DRAUGHT tea cures Constipation. That was piile a joke the Bir mingham Age-Herald played eu the Constitution, Old Col. Rhodes was at the head of the hoax. He got even with the Constition in the Hawes murder of last fall. The hoax came about this shape: “A pro-tem Rube Burrow was ap pointed by the Age-Herald to meet Barrett somewhere in Mississippi. Barrett met the pretended Rube, had a long interview with him. Thin was sent to the Constitution— several thousand extra copies were issued nnd a spacial car run lo Bir mingham. MsELREE'S WINE OF CARDUI for Weak Nerves, From the Jackson Herald it will be seen that J. L. Ritch was the thief who went into the Herald's safe and "done it up” for .$lO5. Mr. Ritrh is well known her#. His law-card has appeared in this pa per for th a past six months or mere and he promised to pay for it in a week or so after its insertion. He never done it. The Journal will call it even and take his curd out. Mr. Rif ?h is rather good looking —being of an ludian hue and a piercing black ere—of medium height. It will be remembered how ha and another disgraced the Baptist church here last March during Su perior court, Ritch was a room-mate and as sociate of the Hernia s edit* —l ie man that he stole the mom* from. He was suspic’oned and a. pled and the money was Mini on h.s person. He was tried and -nr. fet ed of theft, and in default ox - bail would have went to jail, hud not his associate and room-mate —ihu victim of his theft—paid his bond and let him depart. IDlow is an aitide tauem from the Constitution of tbs lotu. At* v. id be seen, it was written from ihie p! we: “Hosier, G, Nov. 15 [Bi cid to the Constitution]—Tin i oople ara all tnad with tho Aihscs Fair association for refusing to comply wiihtbeir prom if-e about marryinv Mr. Allan Daniels and Miss Sallie Partain.

The secretary of thu associa tion, thereupon, wrote h'in two or three letters setting forth promises that $25 would be given by the as.o --< ation to the couple, besides many val uable gifts, if be and his bride would go down on the proper day anal be married in cotton bagging- Miss Par tain, being naturally modest, did not consent till alter much persnasiou, but finally agreed and got ready. It seems that in the mean time oilier parties, from the lower portion of the county, being esp< cially anxious to secure tho advantages of the offer, went to Ath ens and p esented themselves and were accented. The latter parties were bet tar off in this world’s goods and more influential, and it seems on that ac count, for there oouid be bo other rea son, they went back on Mr. Daniels aud his bride. Mr. Daniels and his bride are poor people, but they are highly reapectable and they all belong to the alliance, wbilo the others do not. There is no little kicking among eoaic of cur people at the unfair treatmsnt of Mr. Daniels by ths Athens Fair as sociation and we doubt not they' have lost friends by k. , ’ 'IH dpgrapiiic.
