Annapolis Items.

Ed. Register-Several burglaries
have been committed in and around
Annapolis in the last few months, and
| from the kind of goods taken, we are
| led to believe that they have all been
committed by the same parties. Recent
developments point to Frank Buckner,
Summer Hensel, Mart Huddleson and a
son of H. W. Lashley as the parties.
Huddleston and Lashley were tried be-
fore Esq Hampton, Friday, on charge
of burglary and larceny, and was let
off with u small fine. Lashley was held
to await the action of the grand jury.
Frank Buclzner and Summer Hensel
are said to be now serving term in
the Greenville Jail on like charge,
and as soon as that sentence is COM
pleted. they will be brought here for
trial. j. b. Walker conducted the de-
Tense in each ease that was tried Friday.
Some excitement was caused by the
disappearance of Huddleston about the
time they were ready for trial. he had
filled up on bug juice, as he said, and
went home, but he returned later in the
day and pleaded guilty to petit larceny.
Mrs. Wallace keathley spent few
days in Williamsville last week, visit
ing her brother.
Lucean and Irving Hackworth areat
home one more.
Your correspondent went over on
what is know as the Funk Branch to
witness a wedding yesterday afternoon.
The weather was simply perfect, and.
barring the fact that we are not used
to horse back riding, the trip was de-
lightful. Esq. Hampton was called
over to perform the marriage ceremony,
and we went along for company. Mr..
F. d. Brown and Miss Elvira,
daughter of j. d. Lloyd, were the hap
py young couple. We were made well
come by Mr.. Lloyd, who is Familiarity
known as ssDick," to his hospitable
home, and in few minutes Esq.
Hampton had performed the ceremony
in his most artistic manner. After
the congratulations were over, we were
invited to partake of bountiful repast,
but owing to the fact that your CORES
pondent had eaten late dinner, was
unable to do justice to the wedding
supper, and like the Irishman who
dreampt of meeting the Pope, l have
been sorry ever since that | did not
go out there hungry; but perhaps |
had better relate the story of the Irish
mans dream in his own language.
Said he, 81 dreamed that / met the
Pope and he was as fine looking man
as you would meet in a days walk; l
thought the Pope invited me into his
house, and while. there asked me if
1 would have a drop of punch, and
axed him would duck swim?' and he
axed me would have it hot or cold
and told him would take it hot, and
he went down in the basement to pre-
pare some hot punch and while he was
gone l walked up and / have been sor-
ry ever since that l didn't take it cold"
MIR. Lloyd has a fine farm on Funk |
Branch, and nice home, and he knows |
how to make one feel at home while |
there. This is a beautiful little valley |
and there are several fine farms in it.
Just above Mr.. Loyd's is the farm of
old Mr.. Funk, and farther up are the
farms of his sons. Then there is a
body of wood land still farther up, that
belongs to Captain Zwart, of Ironton.
A good farm could be made of it, if it
was cleared up and improved.
Mr.. Wright. a young minister from
