The Pike County Journal.
Zebulon, Pike County, Georgia, October 11, 1895

Will Ridley of Beeks was carried to Macon Monday by a deputy marshall
and bound over in the sum of $300 to answer before the U.S. court for
interfering in some way with the mail at Beeks. The Journal learns that
there are certain circumstances which will greatly mitigate [the ]
offense if indeed an offense has been committed. Mr. Ridley only
recently married the charming daughter of Mr. S.S. Coggin and has many
friends who were greatly surprised to hear of such a charge against him
and who hope that he will be able to show to the court that he is guilty
of no criminal conduct.
