Deatb Of a sweet Little Girl.

The angel of death visited the home of
Capt j. A. Laing and plucked the farest
flower from the family stem on last Mon
day morning, only to transplant it to the
brighter fields of Eden. At that time
died the little daughter Mary, who had
often made glad the sacred precints Of a
much loved home, from Group, This
little sufferer bore patiently her severe
sickness, and when her spirit winged it's
flight to Heaven it was to join the ram
somed throng of little chi dren above.
Only seven years Of age she was early
transplanted5to wait the coming of those
who loved her best. Truly all hearts go
out in the tenderest sympathy to the
stricken father and mother and other
bercaved ones.

HERE'S SOMETHING QUEER,
And We Tell 1t on the Very Best Author

And We Tell 1t on the Very Best Authority.
THE News has just been told a re-
markabe story, and there is no doubt
about the truthfulness of it, as Rev. P.
L. York is the author.
A few days ago brood SOW belonging
to Mr.. York dropped litter of of eleven
pigs. In the lot with the old mother SOW
and the little ones was a gilt that had
been spayed some months ago, Mr..
York performing the operation himself
This hog at once evinced great love for
the pigs, and was as constantly with
them as the mother. The pigs did not
object to the attachment, and the re-
markable thing about it is that the
udders of the spayed hog have developed
and she is now giving bountiful guam
tity of milk. Several of the pigs have
forsaken their mother and taken up with
the other hog entirely, and are thriving
just as if they were being nourished
through the natural source.

| Sheriff Dave Christie and Jailer Coop
Tedder did some good work last Friday
and as a result band of sevennegro bur
glars are now in Jail while the eighth is
under bond.

evening these officers visited the house
of Melissa Dawson in search of Sam

capped from Jail some time ago, The
woman is the mother of Aaron.
While searching the house the officers

Bowen, Bud Russell, Caesar Morgan and
Melissa Dawson and John Dawson, hus-
band of the woman. under bond, and had
returned to McLain Bros. & Co. five
suits of clothes, two pair of pants and
some underwear. A $40 coat was found
in possession OF Caesar Morgan.
Some of the thieves are country ne
groes.
The thieves entered the store
through scuttle hoe in the top roof.
Early in July George Galloway painted
the roof, and he is believed to be at the
head of the gang. The thieving has
doubtless been going on since then.
