Condition of the Country.
DR.. II. N. Dulin, Of Bethel, was III
Yorkville on business last Saturday,
and OH being asked by the reporter
about the "hard times" he said: 81
don't hear much on the subject. The
people are not complaining a great
deal up our way" This seems to be
pretty generally the case all over The
county. Although it is a fact that on
account of the crop failure, money is
pretty scarce, people generally seem to
fully realize the cause of the trouble,
and these is nothing like the complaint
there was Il few years back when there
were tremendous crops OH which very
little money could he realized.
Bold Theft of Saddle.
When Adam Chambers, a we'll
known colored man, went to his home.
about three miles east Of Yorkville, last
Saturday evening about o'clock, he
saw all unknown Negro boldly walk
ing off with a frst.class saddle that
had cost 50. so. Adam hailed the thief
but the only result was 10 make the
fellow 60 faster. Then Adam started
in pursuit and followed the fellow
about two miles. The thief was arm
ed and fired three shots at his pursuer.
Adam had only a pocket knife, and at
this disadvantage had to let the fellow
20. The thief went in the direction OF
Tirzah by way of White Hill. The
theft was one of unusual boldness, and
the capture of such thief is very de.
sirable. Chambers does not know the
fellows name; but it is possible that
the saddle may lead to his identi.
fication.
