in time for next weeks paper.
The protracted meeting at Mount
Carmel Church, near Buford, which
began last Saturday one week ago by

quiring the way.

able and attentive host or hostess is not
meted out To mortals indiscriminately.

coveted 10y many. Among the former
class is placed our courteous and worthy
townsman, Mr.. u. Wayne Griffin and

On last Saturday night, one week
ago, the dwelling-house of w. 7. Wood.
ward, three miles north of Hartford
was broke into while he and family
were from home. They returned hom,
about o'clock that night, and having
accidently left their door-key at theil
neighbor Patterson's, where they had
been visiting, Mr.. Woodward went TO /;
window to go i'm, but found the window
darkened by quilt. Fearing thai
some assassin or burglar was in tn,
house at the time, and ii being SO darl
that he could not see, he would not go in
lest he mightbe murdered. He took hi
family to his fathers near by, and re
manned till daylight Sunday morning
when he, accompanied by his fathe
and brother-in-law, returned and foun,
the house had been broken into through
a window of the upper story. The DO,
in which he kept his money (but whicl
he had with him at the time) had beef
found and rummaged through; severa
family pictures had been mutilated, ant
a fire left to burn the house, but on nc
count of the strong suction of the chin
ney, this diabolical attempt failed
MFR. Woodward has severa
circumstances that give him a clue Z
} the scoumdrel, that is, one of them, a
there We're two engaged. 1t will b
well enough for the outrageous scolu
drels TO keep themselves scarce.
