THE WATCHMAN April 4, 1882
Tuesday, April 4, 1882



We learn that a few days ago, on Ellejoy, in this county, there was what the

boys call a little “sweep.” One Jeff Davis, having placed himself on the

outside of a quantity of spirits, became enraged at one of the female portion

of the human family, and was giving her a good whipping, when along came one

Anderson Farmer, who requested this performance to stop. But he himself was

soon an actor, and the final result was that Jeff Davis received a severe cut

and a broken jaw. 



Died---At his house, two miles north of this place on the 29th ult., Joseph

Ambrister Esq., an old, and highly respected citizen. His remains were

interred in Clark’s burying ground.
