of this community two years ago was
found guilty of stealing q hamper basket
fall of corn from 4 neighborinS field, and
was sentenced to the pcn~i:cntiary for ton
Years. w. trust this old man who mus
be nearly sixty may be pardonad
Iy the Governor. Two years Of hard Ia
Dor is sufficient punishment for the theft
Of a basket OF corn.
~ON Monday night last, the store Of Mr..
II. II. Booker, Of Donnaidsvillc, was bro
ken open, and about fifty dollars WORTH
of goods taken out. The impression yes
tcrday, from what little evidence on
hand, is that there waS about three OF
four parties engaged in the stealing. We
hope they will bo caught. This stealing
must stop.
