Last Thursday night Mrs. Pol

while she was away from home and
a feather bed and several pillows
were taken. She is a poor widow
who lives by herself. 1t seems as if
the rogues are gong to take the
country.

A Frightful Oatrastronhe,

1t makes the blood run cold to
think of the narrowing calamity sc
narrowly averted last Friday morn
ing. A good citizen of our town
would not only have been run over
by the ears if he had been asleep up
on the track, but he also might have
been provoked to take the life of a
fellowmortal if there had been any
occasion for it. Who then could
have measured the woe of widowed
hearts and who could calculate the
torment of a heart breaking with a
decorating grief. We are moved to
these sad reflections that stir up the
bitterness and NORWOOD of sorrow
in the contemplation of such calam-
itous surroundings by an incident:
About 5 o'clock on the evening be-
fore, when the twilight had turned
down the cover for the sun to go to
bed, there was no premonition of
what we are about to relate and the
heroes of this brief chronicle were
happily ignorant of what was near
al Hduu3 AuO ASuOCS ~ oOOoO
o'clock next morning, before the
headlight of advancing day had
shot his first CLEAN OF gold through
the crack of day in the far stretch
ing occident, DIR. j. G. Roberts was
startled from his sleep by vigorous
poundings at his front door. He
knew instinctively that something
dreadful was at hand, and shiver-
ing he grabbed his pants and ran
into them as he went across the
room for his surgical case, and
throwing his coat across his arm he
gave last soulful look at the ia
miliar objects about the room as il
he knew he would never see them
again, and rushing headlong down
the steps, listened for a shrek, he
jerked the front door ajar-before
it was battered. down-and there
stood little niger with note:
Doctor PLEASE send me a little
more lime. Scott didn't have quite
enough-say cents worth.
GEO. T. RIDDLE.
The doctor wilted and has not
been himself since. To think that
he would be walked up before day
on a freezing morning for nickePs
worth of lime!
