ARRESTED BECAUSE OF HIS WEALTH.
A finely dressed stranger appeared In town
last Friday and had six $50 bills changed at
different places which gave rise to the suspi-
con that he Was green goods man, although
nothing wrong could be detected on the bills.
All the same he was arrested at his room in
the hotel by Policeman Riley He had chang
ed his dress and general appearance so that
some OF his victims didn't recognize him.
There Ia evidently something crooked about
IN" fellow-probably u fakir. But he was dis
demanded 1t. He was heard to remark that
IL was h-l of a town that a gentleman
couldn't 90 into with hundred dollars on his
person without being arrested" Aln't IL so.
EM1NENTLY CORRECT.

In saying tobacco culture Is filthy and un-
in tobacco growing county, and know
whereof we speak.
THE NIGHT wATCHMAN's INTERFERENCE
WITH A BURGLAR-DISNIssED BECAUSE
OF THEIR POVERTY.
The stores of A. Rosenberg, A. H. Ford, w.
V. Blyth and the Greenwood Bank were
broken into one night last week. Night
watchman Mckinney frightened them off of
Mr.. ROsenberg's store, not, however, before
they had stolen considerable goods-exact
amount not known. The others suffered no
loss. The burglars were evidently strangers
and tramps OF whom there were several car
loads in town that nighl. Three were arrest
ed and searched the following morning.
Nothing was found on them except poe ct
we're dismissed.
Mr.. John A. Moore, of Nlnety-six, was in

COMPLIMENT TO LATIMER.
Washington is reputed to be the most inla-
uitous city on the globe, and from occasional
we might say frequent-outbursts of scan
Ilal we are constrained to believe that many
Of our law makers turn ont to be roues. rakes
and lbertines. IL Is gratifying to believe that
the high Christian character of our represen
tutive, Mr.. Latimer, makes him bomb proof
against the contaminations Of this licentiouS
city.
DIDN'T FIT THE WEATHER.
Several letters from the breezy Northwest
have been received here enquiring the price
Df lands We have hoped ali along that their
prairie pony was only the forerunner of a bet-
ter class of citizens as soon as they learned
the many advantages offered by our produc. |
tive soil, healthful climate and thermal tenn
perature. Crhis paragraph was intended for
last week but the weather didn't tt.)
NO DISTINCTION.
Whether a man has S12O or but two cents
makes no difference, II suspicious he is ar
rested. Greenwood draws no distinction.
