A profound sensation was sprung at Meridian when Mrs. Artemisia Wynn was
escorted to the city by deputy sheriffs from Barnett, in Clarke County, where
she claims to have been held for months in the custody of Mrs. Elvira Smith,
against her will. She was brought to Meridian as the result of a warrant
issued by Judge Robert F. Cochran for her release from illegal bondage. The
aged and infirm lady tells one of the most sensational stories of cruelty
known in the history of the State. She says she was horsewhipped, locked in a
room with the windows barred, and deprived of the necessaries of life in her
confinement, and otherwise ill treated. The friends and relatives of the aged
lady are worked up to a pitch of madness as a result of the fearful story told
by Mrs. Wynn.

In the circuit court at Purvis Judge W. H. Cook pronounced the death sentence
on John Brock, a white lad, who was convicted of the murder of Louis Kohler, a
young man clerking in the store of the Baxterville Mercantile Company. Young
Brock was in the store using bad language. He was requested to desist by
Kohler. He left in a huff, went to his home and returned in ten minutes with
a shotgun over his shoulder. He entered the store by the back door, approached
close to Kohler....[last line indecipherable].

Misses Leona and Felicha May Nance were recalled home, last week, from
Chickasaw County on account of the serious illness of their mother. Mrs.
Nance has been in a dangerous condition for some days, but is hoped that she
will soon begin to improve.

-----------
Mrs. Elizabeth Bedford has opened a summer boarding house in the Herne
Memorial Cottage on the campus. She has a number of visitors from
Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky. There is no reason why Blue Mountain
should not make a reputation as a summer resort; and if some of our citizens
would push the matter there is no telling what great things may yet be
accomplished.
---------
The Jamestown party has returned home, having been absent for more than two
weeks. It visited many places of interest on its outing, spent several days in
the national capital, passed through some of the most beautiful sections of
the country, and learned more keenly to appreciate the greatness and the
grandeur of our common country. Travel is a splendid source of education; and
the annual trips provided by Blue Mountain College are worth a great deal to
the people of the section.

Our friend Mr. N. G. Morgan brought some corn tassels to the Sentinel office
Monday that beat anything we have seen recently. They are large bunches of
small shoots and green fodder and one of them weighed 4-1/2 pounds. Mr. Morgan
says they are scattered over a five acre field of corn and are very numerous.
It is a strange freak and can not be accounted for upon any other ground than
old Tippah just showing off to let the Guntown Hot Times know what all she can
do in the way of corn growing. Two of these "tassels" are on exhibition at
the Sentinel office.
