DEAR SIR:-After a most thorough trial.
l don't hesitate to state that the Csrpen'
ter organ bought of you, has proved most
satisfactory in every respect. l most
heartily recommend 1t to my friends. 1t
is frst-class IN every respect.
Yours very truly,
JNO. II. CARRIER.
Sunday night was dlsagreeably cold
through this section, and ice formed in
exposed places. The late garden yoge-
tables went up in the general wreck and
tomatoes are about thing Of tie past.
Oyercoats were resurrected and the &C
rUmulated dust and moths shaken out,
and a few thln booded ladies donned
winter wraps, while almost every one
you met predicted au early and severe
winter and many deplored the fact that
some farmers could not finish seeding. 1t
is warm again and all the above goes for
nothing.
We learn that some parties have been
shooting partridges in this neighborhood
in defiance of the law the season not COM
menciug until the first day of November.
1t is a great pity that these greedy pot
hunters cannot be brought to justice and
severely punished as they deserve.
Why do not our hunters, those who claim
| to be real sportsmen, organize a club, as
is done at other places, tor the protection
of game and the detection and punish
ment of these violaters OF the laws, who
destroy so much game out of seasoni Ii
this should be done the members of the
club would soon find much less opposition
from land owners when they go gunnir
at the right time and in the right way. 1t
IS the indiscrlminate and lawless slaughter
of game that has aroused such determ-
ined opposition to all hunting by the
farmers of this section.
Not one person in hundred has any
idea of the expense attending the running
of a newspaper, and it is this, we feal
sure. is one of the strongest reasons why
so many of the patrons of this, as we'll as
many other papers, are 50 negligent and
slow about paying that they would
never think Of disputting what they owe
the papers, for we are proud to say that
our subscribers are honest, If some are
slow. Now, friends, think OF US and
come up to our help. If money is a little
hard to get hold of the SUN each owes Is
generally so small that with little extra
exertion you can raise it aud thus help US
out of b 10. We feel sure that If you
only knew what good you would be do
ing us you would feel glad and proud
that you did so. Just try it and then
feel what pleasure it Is to read a good,
clean, wholesome paper that you can
proadly say you do not owe penny on.
Another post Office robbery has occurred
in the Valley. This time it Is tie office
at White Post, Clarke county, which was
broken Unto on Tuesday night, Of last
week, and robbed of $50 worth Of stamps,
and several watches were also taken from
the store in which the Office is located.
A few nights before store at the same
place was robbed of lot of bacon. A
perfect CARNIVAL Of robbery and stealing
seems TO be going on through the Valley
counties. The above makes the fourth
postoffice that has been robbed in the past
iew weeks, while the stores and dwell
lings that have been robbed are too num-
erous to count mp, and not single arrest
has been made as far as we can learn.
No one seems to care a continental cent
about it, officers aud citizens being alike
Indifferent. In many cases the thieves
had but few hours start and anything
like an ordinary display of energy and in
telIigence must have resulted in the
capture Of at least some Of the scoundrels.
