of ha =
She was on the hoard walk just after church

of another lady passing, while trying to

bound volume inscribed Book of Common
Prayer" upon which stout gentleman
epped before he noticed it. He stopped
with profuse apologies to pick up the vol
ume, when those near observed thin

odor of coguac filled the air. The woman

For some time past families in the
ueighborhood of WrighJsdne and Little
Britain, Lancaster county, have missed
large numbers of their chickens. ln one or
two instances dogs belonging to these
families have dis ppeared and on the follow
ing night or so the chickens would % the
same mysterious way, leaving no clue and
not being heard of By the owners. Ii is now
know. tina i Cecil couutain makes occasion
al drives through our rural district, and has
been seen al all hours of the night. This
PARTY or parties may be i'll partnership with
some one in this vicinity in the chicken
business but nevertheless they are being
! Swallowed and we would advise them If
thew do not wish themselves punished to
the fullest extent OF the law to steer clear OF
this neighborhood. This part of Lancaster
county has been annoyed by chicken thieves
and has harbored petty thieves for some
time, but fortunately some have been
brought to Justice, and we believe ami feel
confident that others viii! get their Just
reward This stealing must stop.-O[f0rd
