of burglary and larceny. 1t appear:
that when the store was opened or
Monday, some s12 or SIS that had
been left in the cash drawer Saturday
night was missing. Immediately, in
vestigation, coupled with previous
circumstances that had developed from
time to time, directed suspicion TO-
ward Davis. The store loom has
communication from the street, shut
off by inside bolts and latches. 1t is
believed that these bolts und latches
had been purposely left unfastened by
the thief before closing up time, and
that he afterward entered the store by
the method suggested. There is rea'
son to believe that the same thief has
been stealing in the same manner fol
quite long while, and the evidence
against the accused Negro is accumu'
lating to such an extent as to leave but
little doubt of his gnilt.

Minstrels Coming.
If there is any one form of enter
tainment that is more thoroughly en-
joyed by Yorkville audience than an
other, it seems to be the minstrel show.
That has been the experience of Man
ager Herndon up to this time, aud
whenever he has had the opportunity
to book a first class company Of this
kind, he has taken advantage OF it..
As will be noted by the announcement
elsewhere, he now has an engagement
with the Nashville Students and Gid
cons Big Minstrel Carnival" 10 be in
the Opera House Friday night. This
company is generally conceded TO be
Rusco & Hollands best. 1t is COM
posed ofa troop of twelve or fifteen
Arab tumblers, feature entirely new
iu this section, and seventeen or eigh-
teen Negro artists. The show is one
of the strongest of its kind, and those
who like faction" along with words
and music, will find what they desire.
Reserved seats are now on sale al
Pearson's and they are already selling.
Stolen by a Policeman. K
Mr.. w. C. Wbitener, Clover's chief
of police, committed theft last Sun
day afternoon. Many people who
know Mr.. Whitener, will be surprised
at this statement, while others will al
once say 81 told you So" Mr.. White
ner has been going to see Miss Irene
Turner, eldest daughter of MIR. and
Mrs. w. G. Turner, who live on the
eastern outskirts of Yorkville, for quite
a while. Mr.. Whitener's friends un-
derstood that while there was no ob
lection on the part of Mr.. Turner, there
was on the part of Mrs. Turner, who
thought her daughter was too young
10 marry, and who also had natural
reluctance about giving her up. But
love always finds way, and this case
was no exception. The young people
quietly went to the residence Of Rev.
J. NJ. McLain on Sunday afternoon at
about 4 o'clock, and in spite of paren
tai opposition, were made husband and
wife. All the clouds have since van
ished and Mr.. and Mrs. Whitener are
still receiving the congratulations OF
their many friends.
