Stole a Trunk.


Miss Mary Perkins, daughter ofJudge
z. G. 5. Perkins OF Nashville, and sis
ter ofMr. Nick Perkins, Of this county.
came out upon the train Tuesday light,
10th, and was met by her brother at
Wales Station. Her trunk was depos-
tied upon the platform, and Mr.. Per
kins not having come prepared to carry
trunk back, Mr.. Sam. Childers was
requested to take it in and keep it un-
til morning, when they would send for
it. About fifteen minutes after
the party had left, Mr.. Childers went
over to the depot after the trunk and
found that it was gone. He concluded
that Mr.. Perkins had changed his
mind and had managed some way to
carry the trunk along with him. Moth
ing more was thought of it, especially
as the next day passed without the
trunk being called fer, but upon Thurs
day morning Mr.. Perkins came over af-
ter it, when the fact that it had been
stolen first became apparent. Search
was commenced, and the empty trunk
was soon found in an adjacent field, its
valuable contents entirely gone. Mr.
Perkins then came to town, procured a
search warrant, and on Friday sue
ceeded in arresting a negro with about
half the goods in his possession. His
name was Julius E. Bell, and he was
committed to Jail by Esq. Alternately
The goods not yet recovered comprise
articles all marked, which can readil y
be detected by any person who can read.
Mr.. Perkins thinks he win recover all
the goods.

% The Jackson Wing and Tribune
says our senior owned tenth interest
in ticket which drew $4,000 in the
Louisville drawing. We might not be
so particular as to correct this if we had
no creditors to destroy our peace, but
under existing circumstances we feel
called upon to say that the despatch
upon which this report was founded
was cruel hoax. We drew only 81 30
and If anybody wants to take that and
give us credit on any of our paper they
can have it cheerfully. 1t is also mis-
take that Giles County drew 100000.
Capt. Morley drew $4,000, and the
money stands to his credit in the Ma
tional Bank of Pulaski, but aside from
that there were only few ten dollar
prizes drawn, amounting to less than a
hundCed dollars. We have been the
more particular to- make these correc-
lions because paragraph in our issue
of the 10th which was intended to aid
only in carrying out hoax for local eff
feet, led to the mistake.
