Ed. RegtSter-Last tuesday two boys
by the names of Atterberry and Hodge
left their homes in Arcadia and started
| out into the great wide world to fight
the battle of life. They were overtak-
en- Wednesday morning by Mr.. After
berry at Annapolis, and, although thcy
eluded him here, when last heard of
young Atterberry was on his way home.
We did not learn what became of the
other boy.
Some parties entered the home of
Mrs. Kess while she was away, and
stole lot of clothing and other arti-
cles of value. Up to date, no arrests
have been made. There is entirely too
much pilfering and petty thieving done
around this place of late.
A maynard youth was sent to his
grandparents to get rid of him. be-
cause he stole money out of d. A. john
sons money drawer, and there are sew
eral other young lads who might be
dispensed with to equal advantage.
Embarrassing is made Improbable
on account of the boys and young men
who make habit of feasting on other
peoples chickens. There are several
small boys who make business OF
stealing chickens to carry into the
woods to roast for their own use; but
there is larger and worse class who
steal from their homes and the homes
of other people to feed the lewd women
who to often infest this neck of the
woods. There seems to De no law for
these fellows. and we often wonder
where it will all end.
Chas. Sheldon, of Des Arc, was in
town short time last week:
Frank Raney came to the city Tue s.
day.
Yesterday settled the fate
Of the gay and festive candidate.
No more he'll hang on the garden gate
And talk to the voter early and late.
No more we'll see his pleasant smile
Spread Ger his face all free from guile.
When the votes are counted the lucky ones,
Like a man who after a street car runs,
When he catches the car he wants to rest,
For running's hard work, and he did his best.
And the unlucky man feels awful sore,
For he has to keep running for two years
more,
And keep shaking hands, though he's half
inclined
To give each voter piece of his mind
But time is healer of wounds, you know,
And in the Fall to the polls we'll 60,
Shoulder to shoulder, not minus man,
To fight on the good, old Democrat plan.
One little crooked S. left off the
name of Mrs. Rockwell made your cor
respondent say that Mr.. Rockwell and
Mrs. johnson had been to Piedmont
together, but we will even things up
next time by making Mrs. r. and Mr..
Jsgo together!
Miss Mathima Benson celebrated her
eighteenth birthday to-day by serving
her friends with ice-cream and lemon
ade.
Miss Faris, of Piedmont, is visiting
the family of DR.. Clarkson.
The primary passed off without any
disturbance, although there were sew
eral hard contests. Almost everybody
worked good naturally and seemed
willing to abide by results.
Jesse Stone, of De Soto. was down
to the city of Annapolis last week, on
a visit to see his best girl.
The young ladies returned home from
the institute Friday, and Miss Fannie
Sawyer, formerly of this place. but
now of Decatur, ILL.,, came with them.
She expects to teach somewhere in the
county this coming winter.
w. II. Lence's little boy is very sick,
and its life is almost despaired of this
evening.
James Harris spent few days over
on Dry Valley last week. visiting his
sister.
Reverend Morris and family went to
Sa6ula to attend church to-day.
