tho bad condition of that portion of tho public

The store of Mcssrs Xix & Pullcn, at this

The store of Mcssrs Xix & Pulen, at this
place, was broken into on tho night of tho
18th instant, and about seventy five dollars
in goods and money stolen. The money
stolen consisted Of silver and two
dollar bill ON tho Mocklcnburg Bank Of
North Carolina. Bills of tho above bank arc
very scarce in this section owing to tho fnilurc
of TINT bank somo time since That bill may
bo tho means of detecting the thiosos and
any on coming across such bill will do
Messrs. Xix & Pullen favor by reporting
samo to them. The goods consisted princi-
pally Of ready made clothing. Ono pair boots
also WINS missing, and somo tobacco. So
far there has been no clcw to the thieves; not
even the slightest suspicion. 1t is hoped
though, that tho thieves will DO caught up
with. House breaking is something that has
not been known in that community for some
time past, and it would DO we'll perhaps for
us if VIC could succeed in nipping the "ncw
enterprise" in the bud. I would have re.
ported tho above last week. but Messrs.

they do not think it suitable time, rs the
people arc too busy to turn out. 1t is hoped,
therefore, that no delegates will bc sent hore
from any of the Lodges. Tho County Chief
has bceu notified Of the dosre of this Lodge.
When they do have meeting here the Lodge
wants to make il grand success.
