thief entered Rush Williamson's
smoke house last Friday night by
digging under the sill, and stole
several pieces of bacon. This is the
first break that has been made in
the neighborhood. Our farmers
should keep their shot-guns in good
prime with one eye upon their
smoke houses and the other upon
their corn cribs, for there is q good

from Mississippi have recently been

he didn't notice the departure OF his

He commenced to claw at himself,
to run sideways and sorape his wing
on the ground and try to peck him
self on top of the head, and he beat
himself with his wings and pecked
him self in the short ribs, wallowed
in a puddle with his feet up and his

The following item clipped from
the Dallas TEX Herald relates to
a young lady well known and loved
in Pulaski:
In our personals yesterday it was
stated that Miss Laura Jack Irvine.
of Tyler, was here on visit to her
brother, Capt. Adam c. Irvine. of
the firm of Betterton & Irvine. Miss
Irvine rightfully bears a historic
name in Texas. Her mother was
the first American lady to become
mother in San Antonio. She was
then the wife of Capt. John Brown,
in those days known as Waco
Brown, and became a mother in
San Antonio in 1928, nearly fifty
four years ago. Capt. Brown died
in San Antonio, December 8, 1881,
and in 1885 his widow returned to
her brothers house in st. Charles
county, Missouri, where in 1887,
she married Albert G.. Irvine, of
Kentucky. OF eight children born
to her by Mr. Irvine, Miss Laura
is the youngest, named for her
mothers early friend in Texas, the
wife of William H. Jack, the great
orator, and the mother of Thomas
NJ. Jack, the chiValrous hero, who
died in Galveston year or two
since. Miss Laura Jack Irvine, as
one of the corresponding editors of
the American Sketch Book, should
be welcome visitor to every Texas
household.

Miss Lee Samuel is at home spend

has returned from Texas and is so
well pleased that he speaks of max
ing that his future home. Several
of our young ladies and gents at

gin a flying visit. He is always
welcomed by his many friends in
this place. Mr.. George Evans OF

quite fortunate if we could keep
them with us. So use your influ-
