MARYVILLE WATCHMAN March 23, 1883
Friday, March 23, 1883



A Mr. Riggins, living in Houston County, this State, shot and killed a Negro

some days ago, who, in Mr. Riggins’ absence from home, made improper advances

to his daughter. Public opinion is on the side of the man who defended his

daughter’s honor.



Tom McLin is a comical colored citizen of Maryville. He used to be preacher,

but latterly he has fallen from grace, but he don’t like to confess the fact

to his former flock. An effort was recently made to get Tom to preach at

Louisville, but he declined the offer, giving as a reason that he only had

corporation license, and was not allowed to expound the Gospel outside of

Maryville.
