OYSTER CREEK, April LIST, 1882.
EprroR FREE Press While some Of our
people are trying to make living honestly,
there are others always ready to pilfer and
steal the hard earnings of the honest and in
dustrious. Last Tuesday night, 2Sth of
March, three horses were stolen from this
communicative from Carr Bost and one
from T, IL. Shumate Parties are in search
and it is hoped that the thieves will be over
tlken. and brought before the Court that
the law may have its course.
Every year for the last ten years there has
been one or more horses stolen from this
community 1t seems as if the thieves are
aware of the advantages they would have by
coming to this community to steal. Persons
passing through this neighborhood can
easily perceive the advantages thief would
have. They would notice that the people
are trying to make living honestly by
tling the soil; that our farmers keep moth
ing but good, gentle work stock, which are
easily caught by the stranger as well as the
owner and. as farmers, they have no time
to take long trips after rogues.
Just imagine yourself farmer with a
loving wife and helpless children, all de-
pendent upon the service of your faithful
animal for a support. You are busily en-
gagged in your crop, and when you lie down
Mt night, and sleep comes sweet to your
wearied body, the thief comes and leads
away your faithful animal, the one that you
prize more highly than the Arab does his
faithful steed and probably, if like most
farmers, you have not the cash to buy
another You cannot afford to 60 in search
for the stolen one, because your crop needs
attention. so you are bewildered in the tolls
and cares of life deeper than ever.
will here append suggestion which, l
think, would work effectual in all communi-
ties: Let every community organize vigi-
liant societies; when horse is stolen, let the
president of said society appoint men to go
iii every direction 50 as to make the thief's
