j. c. Biles, on last Monday night
while at the Worlds Fair in New Or.
leans, was relieved of New York
checks to the amount of 5000, by q
| pick.pocket. The checks were issued
by the Peoples Bank at this place.
Mr.. Biles at once telegraphed this
bank, and this bank telegraphed the
New York bank the numbers and
amounts, and stopped payment.
Mr.. Biles will recover the amount thus
lost on duplicates. Mr.. Biles is care
full, prudent business man, and it must
have been an expert in the business to
| have succeeded in picking his pockets.
We are thus reminded that visitors to
New Orleans should carry their money
securely to prevent loss by pick-pOck-
cts.
Representative Miller introduced
bill in the House last week, to trans
fer to G. F. College, certain property
and funds of the Ben Lomond Col
lege. A majority of the Trustees Of
Ben Lomond College becoming salts
fed that the Ben Lomond would not
soon, if ever be built, decided it was
best to transfer the funds and property
to G. F. College to complete the new
addition, to make room for the in
creasing patronage Of the latter. The
little fund sought to be transferred has
been idle about 16 years and not en-
hancing in value much if any. The
Trustees think it best to place it where
it will benefit the town and county.
From an advertisement in thi
issue it will be seen that Mr.. Shurmar
Drury is offering for sale his fine thor
, oughbred Clydesdale stallion. Wher
, ever the Clydesdales have been intro
duced they have invariably superceed
ed all other breeds as a general pur
pose horse. Being large, heavy anC
muscular, with graceful appearance,
and fine action, they make a superio
farm animal when crossed upon tn,
smaller stock Of this section. Mr.
Drury being physically unable to per
sonally attend to his horse is his onl,
reason for selling him. We would b.
glad if a number of our farmers wOult
: form a company and buy him, as Mr.
Drury is offering him far below hi
value, and we feel satisfied that
given fair trial he will fully establish
D himself in the best graces of our stocl
r raisers. We hope some Of our farmer
} will take steps to secure him immsdi
= ately, and not let him be taken out c
e the county by some of our more enter
