AN AUDAclous THIEF.
She stole Chickens and Sent Them to
Market With Their Owners.

She Stole Chickens and Sent Them to
Market with Their Owners.
The following story of ingenious theft
comes from the Brandywine hundred
The story is doubtless true. The person
charged with the theft is a country
woman noted for the quantity Of eggs
she brings to this market. In the winter
she usually makes good thing out Of
turkeys and ducks One of her neigh
bors also raises chickens, some Of which
lately she had been missing. She did not
suspect any one, however. The first
chicken raiser is an enterprising woman
IN her way, and when possible will let the
neighbors do little errands for her. Often
her next door neghbor has taken dressed
fowls to market, sold them and made
accurate returns On one of these trips
this neighbor discovered that some Of
the fowls which her neighbor was send
ing had once been her own. Further in
vestigation showed that Mrs. Enterprise
had been stealing Mrs Take-in's chickens,
getting the latter to sell them, and re
ceiving the cash herself
Mrs. Enterprise, it is said, has tried to
hush up the matter but Mrs. Taze-in is
very wrathy and will not settle. Her
feelings have been wounded She feels
that she has been imposed upon and her
ire is at white heat There will be a
suit and comparatively old and respect
able woman will be proved a thief.
The same old sinner was once upon
time returning to her home after her
usual trip to town, when She saw mum
Der Of young ducks on the roadside. She
took them in, as it were and took them
home When q neighbor discovered her
ducks in the womans possession and
asked for an explanation. She replied that
a sort Of a compassionate feeling had
come over her when she saw the duck
lings and she had taken the poor little
things to care for. 'eThey 'peared SO

much carried away with the pretty

they didn't get off the train in time

Cy. johnson has made wonderful

He has but little time to devote to
this fascinatingand instructive study,
but he has succeeded in making
some splendid pictures. Cy. is a
natural artist, and a little practice
will make him an expert with the
camera. There are several of the
boys who are familiar with the
camera, among them are Stewart,
Gay, Lyman, Fleming, Cy. johnson
and Burns. Why don't the young
ladies learn it? 1t is quite easy and
our clever professional, Mr.. McCor-
mace, is always ready to assist the
amateur.

-FOUR MAKES rwo.
Double Wedding at the Franklin House
This Afternoon.

There arrived from Hopkinsville
at II o'clock to-day, two buggies that
contained two couples. The party
left Hopkinsville at o'clock this
morning, anticipating the wedding
of Mr.. Perry M. Morris and Miss
Anna l.. Hord, which was to be a
runaway match, but the couple was
accompanied by Mr.. E. A. Morris
and Miss Mary Long.
After the parties had arrived at
GAINESVILLE the latter couple made up
their minds to consumate their we'd
ding which had been set for next
January so after few words, the
match was agreed to, and County
Clerk Mosely issued licences to two
couples instead of one, and Rev. j.
w. Hill in a most beautiful ceremony
united p. M. Morris and Anna l..
Hord; f. A. Morris and Mary S.
Long. Every courtesy was pre-
scented the happy couples by the
Franklin House, and later in the
afternoon the quartette left for their
homes across the Kentucky line.

LOOKING FOE LIGHT.
A Queer Gang Of Country Yaps That
Were Badly Befuddled.

Among the early morning callers
to GAINESVILLE to-day were five men
from over the line in Kentucky who
halted several citizens and asked to
be shown the light that they were
accused of throwing at one ght last
week. The men were all loaded with
a bad article Of aekamaravalous,
and evidently were spelling for fight
but ing this they were sadly disap-
pointed.
The gang proved to be the same
that caused a racket in the city last
Friday night, and had returned to
stand the consequences of their fun !;
but the course of the city law was not
correctly fixed and they went home
as badly mixed as they had been be-
fore. The principle object Of the visit
of the party to the city this morning
appeared to be however, to find the
light they were accused of throwing
at Their appearance was exceeding
ly ridiculous and their antics fur
nished coolies of fun for all early
morning street strollers.

came from his white acquain-

Found in the Gutter.

Just at the break of day this morn
ing a fine looking man was found
by colored man, lying in the gutter
at the corner of Seventh and Madi-
son streets, in horribly drunken
condition. His feet were down in
the sewer, while his head was just in
position to cause him to breathe the
terrible fumes that emitted therefrom.
The water was running at a lively
rate, and the unknown was in a ter
rible plight until his kind colored
friend lifted him up and conveyed
him TO better quarters. The unfor-
tunate had evidently just arrived in
the city, and loaded up at once on a
b. article OF bug juice.
