Piles from his orchard. They were Al
fine as any we have ever seen. They
of the following varieties: The Non
such, Emperor of Russia. Smith Cider
Winter Bellfiower. and Early Harvest.
The trees, Mr.. Bowman informs US
were from the nursery of A. K. Sutton Of
this county. Mr.. Sutton has been in
the nurserY business for nearly twenty
years. and we are glad to know thai
the product of his nursery is advertis.
ing it in the most fattering manner.
We have seen two Nickajacks from
Mr.. Sutton's own orchard that will
compete in size and perfection with
any apples in the State. Mr.. Sutton's
trees are to the manor born; they are
acclimated, and with this advantage
in their favor, ought to monopolize the
apple-tree trade of this county.

Monday night the Bonanza was
burglarized and about $500 worth of
goods taken. Entrance was made
through the front door, the burglars
cutting out part of one of the large
panes of glass. Among the articles
taken were a lot of watches and jewell
ry, two pistols, some clothing, cigars,
cigarettes and canned goods. Also
about 500 in money. One of the
thieves left his own coat in the store,
in lieu of the better one he had ap-
propriated to his use. No other trace
was left to help identify the perpe-
traitors of the robbery, and at this
writing there is nothing to show
whether it was done by transient or
native talent. In our humble opinion,
if the gentry who last Sunday night
week entered the station house were
identified, the perpetrators of the later
crime would stand exposed. There
are too many worthless characters in
this community whose manner of max
ing living is mystery to all but
themselves. They will not work, and
the inference is they steal. Sooner or
later detection will follow, when the
butt end of the law will be given them.
The articles taken in this last trans
action are easy of Identification, and
we think, with proper steps taken, de-
lection and punishment should not be
long delayed.

Last Thursday morning there came
to Judge Meyers residence in Belle
view stranger scantily clad. wet. and
shivering. 1t will be remembered that
was the morning of the heavy rain
preceding the frost. The Judge took
him in, had him washed, and dressed
him 10 dry garments. and tried to in
duce him to eat of the morning
meal. But the stranger. who talk
ed only in monosyllables. refused to
take any nourishment whatever, al
though weak and evidently in fam
ishing condition. He was taken care
of that day and night, and next day
Sheriff O'Neal brought him to Ironton
that he might have medical attend

sane. and must saeeumh without i'm

attended him and did all that could be
done to relieve him. But the patient
died that night, and was buried by the
county next day. DIR. Farrar says il
was simply a case OF self-imposed
starvation, though probably sickness
induced the mental condition in which
he was found. The deceased was OF
