A Petty Thief.

Mrs. M. A. Ward of this place sent
Dosha Suother, a little negro girl in
her employ, down in town last Satur-
day to get few articles-among them
some stamps. To purchase the stamps
Mrs. Ward gave Dosha dime and
four coppers, but when the girl return
ed half hour or so afterward and did
not have the stamps Mrs. Ward In
quired what she had done with them,
whereupon the dusky Dosha told the
following story:
She said she called at the post-office
but Postmaster Chivers was net there.
A man, however, standing by asked
the girl what she wanted, and she told
him she wanted to buy some stamps.
This inquisitive but seemingly obliging
man told Dosha to give him the
money, that he would take her name
and she could get the stamps when
the postmaster returned. Dosha, SO
she says, confdingly handed the fellow
the money and he "took her name,
but she failed ''to take his name," and
as she was not personally acquainted
with "the accommodating gentleman
she could NOT tell Mrs. Ward who he
was, hence that lady is minus IA cents

The chairman and secretary were
directed to formulate rules and regu-

such rules to be subject to the ap-
