minute by the watch, aad when he got

witnessed the theft, sand: q gentleman
Just went out of the car with your overcoat,
sir" No, madam, responded the doctor,
he is no gentleman The habit of leav>
ing an overcoat on seat in car in AtS
anta is frequently done, and the police
say the act is often attended with the loss
of the overcoat. Parties who travel had
better take warning The Doctor says he
wouldn't have minded it so much, but the
overcoat was borrowed from his brother

one, when he needed one himself.

SOME months ago, Mrs Arthur Springer
lost her gold watch on the streets. AIS
though advertised for the finder never re-
turned it. Last week, Will Edwards,
negro boy, of this place, was arrested in
Atlanta for trying to sell ladys gold
watch for S.. Marshal Parks was tele-
phoned about it and he obtained the num-
Der of Mrs. Springer's watch and notified
the Chief of Police. This established the
fact that it was Mrs. SpriEger's watch.
Marshal Parks went to Atlanta and re-
| covered the watch. 1t seemed that Tom
Hodges wife had first come in possession
of the watch. She tells two tales about it
one that she bought it from peddler
and another that she bought it in Atlanta
and gave it to her daughter. She says
Will Edwards broke into her house and
took it out of her trunk, but the daughter
says she loaned it to Will EdwardO. So
Edwards was given bis liberty. Mrs.
Springer is glad to get back her watch.
