ARREST OF THIEYES.

About week before Christmas, bolt Of
cloth containing fifteen yards, and valued at
$22 so, was stolen from the clothing and fur
nishing store of Messrs. Smith, Clark & Sons,
of this place. by some parties then unknown.
Serach was made forithe missing goods and the
thieves, with no effect, however, until Tuesday
last, when Mr.. L. P. Smith, of the above named
firm, detected two strange colored men in
Town with vests on of the same goods which
had been stolen. They were Immediately ar
rested and lodged in Jail. While undergoing
an examination at the store, previous to their
incarceration, they used the most impudent
and insulting language, one Of them even
picking up hatchet, and threatening to force
his way out. Upon examining their vallses
afterwards, the remainder of the cloth was
found made up into clothes. These colored
men. as far as we can learn, have been loiter-
ing around this place for some time, following
the profession of gambling. They hail from
Abbeyille, and Judging from their appearance,
thew are a brace of confirmed thieves. Beyond
g. doubt, some of the recent robberies commit
ted in this and the adjoining County of Green
Vile could bo traced to them.

An Extension Of Time.

1t has been semi.o6icially announced that
the time for the payment Of State and County
taxes, without the penalty of twenty per CENT
will be extended to the. 3Oth of January inst.
This is in accordance with the amended tax
Law, which gives sixty days from the time the
taxes were begun to be collected. In some
counties, the time will be extended further
than the date specified, as the books were not
opened until recently, owing to various causes.
Tie Legislature has the power to extend the
time for collecting without the penalty, bnt we
do not presume that this authority will be e1-
efcised, and our citizens may expect the penal

By reference to the advertisement of Mr..
G. E. Horton in another column, 1t will be
seen that he will sell to the highest bidder on
Friday, 10th Of January next, ten or fifteen
valuable Town Lots in the thriving Town of
Williamson. The lots contain from two to
four acres, and are in close proximity to the
celebrated Williamson Spring.
Attention is directed to the advertisement of
Messrs. Z. B. Benson & Co., which appears in
our issue of this week. They offer for sale ten
desirable building lots in the fourishing Town
of Hartwell, Ga. AS Hartwen is destined to
become business place Of some Importance at

much neglected subject of the public roads.
1t is their intention to have the roads worked
as soon as the weather permits, and in order to
carry into effect this gaod purpose they are
determined to enforce the authority delegated
to them by law. By thoir orders the public
