appoiated pastor of the Red Clomi
31. E. church over thiee years ago,
Will N. King was the editor of the
Helmet, published in that city, We
immediately began building, and Sir.
King promised $5 provided he did
not go to prison for a cowardly as
sault he had made upon a prominent
citizen. He did not languish in pris
on, though no fault of his, however.
Neither did he pay that subscription.
Now this young man is allowed to go
to the poor farm of Douglass county,
to end his days more comfortably
than in jail, being in rapidly failing
health, and under sentence for for

an interesting throng should it envel

a creditable appearance for a first jssuc

Dr. Calhoun has attained some
prominence in the politics of this
