ED. RECoRD:-The grocery OF
Knighton & Thacker was en-.
tered by burglars the night of
the I'd, and about $40 taken
from. the drawer, $1j in /, 2,
3 and 5 cents pieces, and S. in
ragged scrip, also 25 or30 two
cent revenue stamps. Samuel
Pickens is charged wi Ii the
theft, and was arrested last
night and taken to Jackson.
The case is a tolerably strong
one. On Sunday before the
deed was dcne he had no mon
ey; he has spent during the
last week ten or twelve dollars
IN coppers, three and i've cen!
pieces, at Hamden, Byers and
this place. He also spent the
revenue stamps at Sculiy'S
store.
A free fight occurred be.
tween Madison Arganbright
and George Deems. Whisky
was the cause. Whiskey will
fight sometimes.
