Tho usual quiet that reigns in our
modest little "suherl' was hrc ken asst
Saturday afternoon bv hold burglary
perpe;rated by two negro tramps entering
tho honse of Lewis Kelly (our colnred
blacIismith) while he and his u ifo were
absent and appropriating new suit OF
clothes, pair woman's fine shoes, (new)
ono razor and other articles of less value.
For rank boldness, we havn't heard the
like, as this was all done in broad day
| light, in 40 steps Of the Store and Post
office, while the Post. Master was in the
going in direction of A nderson. Parties
went in pursuit at cnce, but at this writ
ing no clue as to their whereabouts has
been obtained. To make the burglary
more aggravating, the party who is the
loser, is one legged, industrious colored
man. ! Is to be hoped the rascals will
be caught and placed where they proper
ly belong.
We are sorry that "Bonnie Belle" took
exception to our random expressions in
your week before last issue. We were
rot personating in what we said. and beg
pardon if any party "got hit" and do
hereby accept "Bonnie Bellies" invita-
ton to take a ride 'some Sunday" if she
or he will promise not to tell our best
girl about it not that we would be
ashamed to ride with "Bonnie b." but
we are "engaged," and it might make
matters sorter unpleasant for us hereaf-
ter; and, besides, ride with nice,
pretty young lady would be much pre-
ferable to riding wheel.
