lives on Rev. Mr.. Samples farm, stole Il
vest at Gump's clothing store and was
caught and, as he played drunk, was
Gagged until Friday. In the meantime it
was developed that the same day he took
from Barker's store pair of pants
which were found on him. Then 1t APP
peared that he had, some months ago,
when the weather was even cooler than

wishing good goods at low prices.
