citizens of this place who care anything
for the reputation of their town to take
speedy steps to collect those delinquent

name Of their town to become synony-

Last Monday afternoon Marshal
Pruitt received telegram from Pied
mont, asking him to arrest one James
Forster and hold him until the mar
shall of that town could come up and
get him. The telegram did not ar

upon inquiry Marshal Pruitt learned
that Forster had come up on No. 2
that day, hired horse from Collins,
