One day last week a soap man struck this
town, procured license from our officials,
all that were foolish enough TO give him
their money. His game was to take num-
Der of packages of soap, do up 500 bill in
one package, mix them, and let anyone draw
out three packages for which they paid S..
He would tell some one to pick out one and
open it and see that what he said was So
OF couse every package contained a $40 bill,
but when person took three packages and
slapped down the cash, the packages they
drew contained nothing but soap, and small
quantity at that. He took just $1,000 from
here and skipped for Decatur. After he had
gone. some of those that were badly bitten.
could stand it no longer and got out war
rant and sent n constable after the swindler,
who settled for S25 rather than come back.
One young man paid just so for his soap,
and received one dollar in one Of the pack
ages. Not having the money, and being
positive that he could make $50 as quick as
a wink, he went and borrowed it. Decatur
didn't chalk out any licenGe for such games.
