RAM’S HORN EVANGELIST ARRAIGNED

 

     The Ram's Horn Evangelist was arraigned in the Justice courts Tuesday on a charge of disturbing the peace.  The evangelist is now engaged in the turnip growing industry and vends them on the street.  He cries his produce at a very high pitch of voice, intermingling it with shouts and songs, etc.  Some of those who do business on Live Oak street came to the conclusion that "forbearance had ceased to be a virtue" and had a complaint filed against the gardener evangelist.  After hearing the evidence the jury returned a verdict of not guilty.
