Mr.. n. +. West of Cartecay, Gilmer
county, Ga, was here last Friday with a
wagon load of apples which he was ped
ding out on the streets. His little girl
was with him. She sat in the front part
of tie wagon, while her father was on the
ground selling apples. Several small me-
gro boys we're attracted to the wagon and
volunteered to help get the apples out as
Mr. West sold them. rs handed his Its
tie girl all the money, until she had $35 90
in five dollar bills, which she wrapped in a
piece of paper and tied in corner OF her
apron. She didn't get out OF the wagon,
but those negroes would get the apples
right at her feet. When she went to look
for the money, the knot In the corner of
her apron had been united and the money
was gone. Sheriff Davenport has the name
OF the little negro that was the most Off
cious in getting out the apples, and will
arrest him the first opportunity.
While visiting the Atlanta Exposition,
Iseve:al weeks ago, DR.. J. T. Groves, of this
place, WAS relieved of his pocketbook by a
slick thief, who took it from DR.. Groves
rear pants pocket. The pocketbook con-
tanned money, notes and receipts. On last
Saturday the Doctor received through the
post Office letter, postmarked Atlanta, in
which was enclosed the notes and receipts,
with pencil note from the thief that as
he had come into possession of them he
would return them as they might be OF
some value to HIM" This was very con.
; siderate on the part of the pickpocket and
shows that he had some little sense Of
honor.
