Wall- tower. It develops, was also known as Curfis from association with a past president of Limestone College. Gold ing wa: registered (on the docket of eases) as J. Golding and the words aft-'- thi imnrossive name formed pet it larceny. Golding was charged with stealing a pint of whiskey from Chas. Dowd’e, a well-known character of the city. Golding could explain how he got the booze all right and his honor naid him the compliment of describing him a an artist in swearing To e-et slangy, he was a very slick article. He was aide to swear verv forcibly that none of the accusations Charles ha* 1 sworn to were really of anv mo ment. Charles, however, played his trump card when he produced a wit ness to back him in a disputed instance. With the odds two to one, Golding vu"- wisely, no doubt, said no more. He was fined $lf> or twenty days. The n«'Xt case was one with Nathan iel Wall lower or Curtis as the nriso- ncr at the bar. A very antiquated specimen of a revolver tied with a string was produced against Nat. and he was confronted with a charge of carrying concealed weapons. Wall- tower was an old man who appeared to he a peaceable citizen and the charge against him disturbed him very much. He was very vehement in his declaration as to ignorance of the law. He stated that to his certain knowledge the weapon could not he persuaded to fire at anything. He secured it for debt and was in hopes of having it flx<‘d. He was fined Sib and forfeited his weapon. This was re garded by him as eminently fitting, as it has cost him no end of trouble. A Rural Directory.
