a number Of the fowls that were found
in the house have been identified as
the property OF Mr. George w Brooks,
whose hen-house was visited on the same
night that Nancy Walker and Sophie
Sims were arrested. The turkey has
not yet been identified.
Nothing can yet zoe learned as 10 the
whereabouts Of Mr.. Rennie. His friends
have searched high and low. and investi-
gated every plausible rumor Of his
whereabouts. and still no trace can be
found In fact so frutless have been
tine searches Of his friends that they
have about lost all hope Of ever seeing
Mr Rennie again dead or alive. In
fact, all that can be done has now been
done, and nothing is left but TO be con-
tent with things as they are.
Mr. Woods bill 10 protect rabbits.
hares, and deer Ia the county Of Chester
field, which he introduced in the House
several days ago has been placed on the
calendar, and will likely be favorably
acted upon in q short while. This will
be good news to our sportsmen, who have
long been deploring the need for some
restriction on the indiscrimlnate killing
OF this game as has been the case in
the past.
To seems that the streets Of NIanches-
ter Will always be in n state Of up
heavaL Now that the work of putting
IN TIE new sewerage system Is nearing
completion The lower part Of Hull street
has 20 be repaired with respect TO its
tuiters. This, however, has to be done
AZ some time and the sooner the better.

and Minnie Lee Drewry, and Carrie Va
uen. The gentlemen are: Messrs. D.
J.. Broadnax, 3. +. Walden, w. 3.
Cox r. II. Minor. Lacy Fendley, and
Raleigh T. Green.
The Spanish Weddlng-Dance" is con-
tidered 20 be the most difficult OF all the
ulnerent steps to be represented in the
hlrmess. IL can safely be added that
Mrs. Royals class Is in no way behind
,ne remainder Of the great dance. and
mere Is no doubt but that they will ac-
smt themselves with highest honors when
the big event takes place.
