OF these valuable and essential aduncs to the cotton

ehectual measures be adopted to stay the hand OF
roguery and break up what seems to be tborouoblv
organized system of stealing Not less than seven OF
eight horses and mules and three or four ,J
them, have disappeared from East Feliciana within
the past month and under circumstances which force
home the conviction that country is infested with
regular band OF negro and horse thieves, operating
systematically and successfully, as up to this Wrtine
nothing has been heard Of either negroes, horses OF
thieves save in one instances negro and horse that
had been stolen were recovered and one Of the party
engaged in the theft arrested and lodged in Jail.

East Feiclana, or get ye to your holes for safety
