The grip seems to be laying violent
! hands on some of our neighbors and citi-
zens.
This community was we'll represented
at the Carnival in Augusta last week.
There seems to be practics among
some of the young marksmen along the
railroad of shooting off the glass rests of
the telegraph WIRE This is all wrong,
and if some of them were rightly looked
after, it might put stop to so much Of it.
Mr.. Breazoale, of the firm of Brown

Starr Locals.

Having noticed that for some time past
the Starr correspondent has been consplc-
uous for his absence, aud feeling that our
prosperous little town" and vicinity de-
served better fate than to be thus un-
timely sunk into dread obscurity, the fol.
lowing items are submitted as gentle re-
minder of the fact that we, of the above
mentioned place, do still "live, move and
have our existence"
Owing to the inclement weather, and
also to Hymen's interference, on large
scale. the usual round OF New Year gaye-
ties among the young people has been
slightly checked.
The spirit of marriage seems to have
been abroad for some time past in our
community, more especially before the
holidays. Since that time there has been
slight cessation.
Business is rather dull at present, ex-
cept the saw mill interest. Two mills are
kept constantly running.
Last Sunday was the regular day for
preaching at Cross Roads Baptist Church,
but the preacher, Rev. Allen, failed to put
in an appearance. However, there was
preaching in the evening by Rev. Rogers.
His sermon was short, pointed and well
delivered. In our opinion, Bro. Rogers is
one Of those earnest, conscientious men of
God who are called to preach His divine
word. We shall be delighted 10 have you
with us again, Bro. Rogers.
Rev. VIM. Hardin, from the Richland
Circuit, is now in our midst, visiting his
family. Father Time deals leniently with

We have been informed by the Agent at
Starr that the number of his ticket sales
for the recent Augusta Carnival was fifty
eight. We challenge better record from

were: Mr.. G. II. Gassaway. Misses Sallle

A brilliant ball is on the topic in Starr.
The invitations will be out soon, and
quite swell affair is expected. Both
ladies and gentlemen are to be attired in
regulation ball costumes, and everything
will be conducted in strictly first. class
style. Mr.. j. Fl. Pruitt is chief business
manager.
Mr.. ". H. Pruitt, from Texas. brother
of L. C. Pruitt, is on an indefinite stay in
our midst. We notice that his experience
in the "Wild West" has not rendered
him proof against Cupid's pranks. !.
There is likelihood Of an important
change being: made in 'Uncle Sans"
affairs at Starr. There is already some
dissension on the subject, and should
the scheme in contemplation be effected,
in all probability an indignation meeting
of the citizens will be the next item on
the programme.
we haye no journalistic aspirations, but
should the above manage to, or rather sue
ceed in, escaping the waste basket, we
shall probably call again. "ToM."

For some time the Railroad Agent at
this place has been led to believe that
stealing was going on at this place from
night, 23rd inst, some bacon was reloaded
from this place for Williamson. When
the car at Williamson was unloaded, the
Railroad Agent discovered box of bacon
broken open and part Of it gone; the
same was reported to the Agent at this
place. He had some search warrants
sworn out and several houses searched.
During the search he found in Leah
Browns house (alias Leah Green) several
negro men who did not belong there. He
had the constable to arrest them, and,
after looking around the house, he found
some bacon which led him to believe that
he was on track oft stolen goods. By
this time his force had increased, and
upon researching the house the biggest
Railroad steal was developed. The goods
found consisted of bacon, coffee, rice,
whiskey, garden peas, domestic checks,
silverware, back bands, powder. hame-
strings, shoes, crockery ware, -four, lard,
and great many other things too numer-
Gus to mention. They had been hauled
away from there by the wagon load.
After this discovery bacon was found at
the house of Jerry Crawford. 1t is con-
sidered the biggest Railroad steal ever
heard of in this portion of this country,
and no doubt but what it was an organ
lied gang ofrobbers. It is believed there
are several more who belong to it that
have not yet been caught up with. The
parties arrested are: Leah Brown, Georgia
Hutto Sherman Brown, James Crawford,
Henry Crawford, Jerrett Williams, Frank
Williams and Henry Williams. Mr.. B.
A. Wilson, the Railroad Agent at this
agement of the case, and the citizens of
Belton have done all they could to help
bring the guilty parties before the courts.
