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.
