Last Sunday evening, some one en-

the glass from the side door and carried

alley, where they robbed the register of
some sixteen dollars and left the machine
on the premises, covering it over with
some stuff that lay near.
"A swindle which has been carried on
successfully of late in some sections is
thus explained: Persons visit the town
and call from house to house, asking to
sre sewing machines, and if the machine
is a certain kind, they take out the shut
tie and put it in their pocket, refusing to
give it up until the owner pays them for
an alleged infringement on the patent.

Probably the champion rat catcher OF
these parts is George y. Salter, Fleming
toms industrious carter. George keeps
patent catch-'em-alive trap in his barn all
the time. II is a complete continuance
for corraling rats, and none can escape if
once they enter its inviting gate. He has
often caught as many as eight or ten in it
at time, but last Wednesday night he
beat all previous records, having caught
IS full grown rats in it.
