night thief or thieves entered DIR. J. G.
Greer's residence, through window. and
carried the Doctors pants and shirt out
doors. From the pants pocket book was
taken, but the Doctor knew how to fool
EN-. He had in said pocket book some
teeth and receipts. The thief was disgust
ed, and placed pants, pocket book, teeth,
and shirt in a pile and left, not forgetting
however, to take off a gold collar button
| The thief was mistaken in thinking the
Doctor carried gold in his pocket book, he
puts it in the teeth of his customers and
they carry it around for him. The doctor
slumbered undisturbed, notwithstanding
the thief struck match and made himself
generally conspicuous. The doctor stands
ready to treat to watermelons as soon as the
thief brings back his collar button.
Mr. r. n PICKETT, of c. A. Lilly h
Co., wholesale Tobacco and Cigar Dealers,
was in the city on last Monday and from
him we learn that he has bought the ex-
elusive right to sell tobacco, cigars and
walking canes during the holding of the
/ International Cotton Exposition, in Allan
tn. One of the principal features of this
right will be the sale Of canes, gathered
| from the different battle fields in Georgia
and Virginia. While here he closed the
contract with Mr.. Will. J. Hames, of this
place, TO collect and ship to him at once
walking canes from the battle fields on and
around Kennesaw Mountain. From the
well-known energy of Mr.. Hames no one
doubts but what the contract will be faith
fully carried out and parties who buy these
canes during the Exposition can rely on
getting genuine article. From here Mr..
| Pickett goes to Resaca, Chicksmauga, Mis-
sionary Ridge, and other noted battle fields
above here to make similar arrangements
for the same purpose.
