obtaining goods from Messrs. Ii. {. and ID.
d. BeRttie on bogus orders purporung 10
have been written by Mrs. Nunnally, by
whom she had been employed.
As Mrs. Nunnally had been dealing with
the Messrs. Beattie for 50 many years, II
was not the custom of the latter to keep
on file the orders from her on which goods
were delivered, aud they were cOnse-
quently mislaid. This fact saved the girl
from having to answer the charge OF
forgery. She was, however, tried upon Six
charges of petit larceny, and was given
thir;y days in jsil for each offence, which
will make her whole term six months.

ness for the coal and wood at Dir. w. y.
Buiton's brick-yard in this city. They

gine-house Wednesday night, but IT IL not
thought they succeeded in getting any
thing.

at Maury Cemetery Wednesday evening at
the request of relatives of the deceased,
the body was found 10 be IN good preser-
walton, and his features could be recOg-
niSed.
TO CHANGE TIE LAWS.
Hon. ID. L. Toney has received commu-
nicatiOn from Superintendent Banking
shin. of the Chesterfield schools, who says;
"1he County School Board at the No
vember meeting, after lengthy discus
sion of the subject from every standpoint,
directed me bv resolution, without a dis
senting voice, to bring 70 the attention OF
our representatives in the Legislature GER
tain laws as they now stand, and 10 sug.
eest that q change or modification would
greatly help this particular county"
The SUPERINTENDENT. speaking for the
County Board, suggests that the school
trustees be furnished with copies OF the
school laws. that the school money be
made into one fund instead OF several
funds, as is now the case and that the
minimum attendance be made more than
ten. Ii is contended that such change
yould be of great help IN the county and

moro quickly. Mr.. Ioney will turn over
the document TO the Committee on Schools
