/ also carried complete line OF samples,
for his house also sold new goods, such
as spoons, knives and forks, sugar
sifters, ladies, etc. The man either
got under ''the sweet unfermented juice
of the grape" or he lost his memory
let us charitably decide that it was the
latter-and he clear forgot what he did
with his splendid case of goods He
put up at a boarding house, but he was
certain that the proprietors were not
/ responsible for the loss. The last he
remembered he was showing the goods
at private residence. Strange to say
| there was no name on the box. The
lady took charge of it, but as she did
not know the agents name or where
| he was stopping, she could do nothing
| burawait developments. A few days
| ago he called at the same place, and
being at once recognized, the case was
returned to him. His joy was I'M
bounded at the unexpected good luck.
He said he had been obliged to pay
into the treas Try of the firm $4,000 for
lost samples. He had left the lady's
residence without thinking of the case,
and it was next morning before it was
discovered by a servant of the family.

Nunnally's Xmas candy at Legg's
Drug Store.
At residence on Atlanta street (the
name we are requested to withhold) the
other evening about 80 clock, a lady
sent her little son under the house to
get some coal. He came hurriedly
back and reported that "black negro
man was under the house with his hand
behind him." The lady got her pistol
and went out, when the negro fed, she
firing one volley at him as he went to-
wards the barn. About seven o'clock
her husband came home and found the
horses out in the lot. He got his gun
and went out and the negro was seen
standing behind the stable, but ran off
as the gentleman came on the scene.
The negro had remained about the
premises several .haurs, and evidently
had some evil design. The gentleman
fired at him as he fled.
A practical Xmas gift would be a
dozen up-tO-date collars, that can be
found at Read & DuPre.
