for appropriatIng other peoples wares to
himself, has gotten into fresh trouble,
On Monday night, the 9Th inst, he effect

ofAlcus Il Meyers store and abstractod
therefrom about $500 worth Of dry
goods These gentlemen, suspecting the
character of the sneak thief, kept per-
fectly quiet and did not let any one know
Of their loss, and on last Saturday even
ing while Mr.. Alcus was standing in his
store door, he observed the dusky name
sake of Lincoln's successor passing by en-
scOnsced in a portion of the stolen dry
goods and recognized them. Calling him
in and assuming to know all about the
theft, Mr.. Alcus soon wrung from him a
a full confessio learned where the rest
of the goods were secreted and soon had
them recovered.
Andy has since had hearing before
the Mayor and now rests in Jail to await
the meeting of the grand jury. He isone
of the same coons who was concerned in
the burglary at Leary's store, and mar
rOwly escaped conviction for that offense

The Crops.

From all portions of the county the
most flattering accounts are received OF
the crops. The corn cropis said to be the
Enestin years. Cotton, though about two
or three weeks later than usual is grow
ing and fruiting finely, and if not over
taken by worms or an early frost, will
make an unusually large crop. Sorghum,
sugar cane, peas and potatoes are boom
ing. Altogether the prospect at this time
is decidedly bright.

unsurpassed. For eliminating malariai

Col. Robert Lewis, representative
from Hancock, tells Of q duel IN which
he was to act as one Of the principals.
He was then paying devoted attentions
to a young lady, and had . rival as
devoted as himself. The rival grew
qu~arrelsome, and his feelings, Of which
he possessed as fine an assortment as
any duelist that ever stood on the field,
was hurt by something that Col. Lewis
had said. He sent a "friend" to see
his enemy. A card was handed Col.
Lewis, which read about as follows:
"You have insulted me and I demand
satisfaction. You may choose the
weapons we shall fight with. Shall it
be pistols, shotguns, bowie knives, or
what?' To this card Col. Lewis re-
piled briefly that he would fight him
with what . I'VE haven't fought
yet" said Col. Bob. II don't suppose
they have yet invented the weapon I
wanted to fight with. But every time
I see that man in a crowd I can run
him away-we are good friends now
by asking him if he still wants to
fight."-Macon Telegraph.
