CHICKEN THIEF SHOT.
A Midnight Marauder Gets a Back
Full of Shot Instead of a Stomach
Full of Ceicken as he Had Intended.

Saturday night Mr.. A. T. Barnes
heard noise out in his yard about
his chicken coop. He went out to
investigate taking his gun along with
him. He walked up on a negro man
stealing his chickens. Mr.. Barnes
took him completely by surprise the
negro finding himself looking down
the muzzle of gun at close range
before he was aware that his mid
night marauding was destined to so
rude an awakening. Mr.. Barnes COM
manding him not to run but the
warning was not needed. The negro
stood not upon the order Of his going
but he went-went with the wings
of the wind. AS if to "speed the
parting guest" or detain him further
Mr.. Barnes leveled his gun at his
nocturnal visitor and blazed away at
the fast disappearing form. That he
tanned since. Mack Jones, notorious
rogue and desperate character who
made the recent assault upon Chief Of
Police Malone and Mr. Sam P. Allen,
was the man shot at. He received
the contents of the load in his back
and is said to have been badly hurt.
He was tracked next day by blood
marks but it has been impossible to
locate him as he has been harbored
and shielded by negro friends. He
went away from town and when last
heard of he was skulking about in the
country around Coley's cross roads.

They Have no Right to Complain.

The business man whose advertise
ment seldom. if ever. appears in the
local paper is the one who whines the
most about the people sending away
to mail-order houses for goods. He
can't appreciate the fact that it is ad-
vertising that diverts trade to the
city store and the neglect of advertis-
ing that causes the country merchant
to lose touch with the people.-Mt.

When to Stop Advertising.

An English journal requested a
number of its large advertisers to
give their opinions concerning the
best time to stop advertising, and the
following replies were received:
When the population ceases to
multiply, and the generations that
crowd on after you stop coming on.
When you have convinced every
body whose life will touch yours that
you have bet ter goods and lower
prices than they can get anywhere
else.
When men stop making fortunes
right in your sight solely through the
direct use of the mighty agent.
When younger and fresher houses
in your line cease starting up and
using the journals in telling the
people how much better they can do
for them that you can.
When you would rather have your
own way and fail than take advice
and win.-Winston Journal.

The Bright Side.

Look on the bright side, it is al
ways the right side. The times may
be hard, but it will make them no
easier to wear gloom and sad coun-
tenance, but will only make those
around you unhappy. 1t is the sun
shine, and not the cloud, that makes
the flower. The sky is blue ten times
where it is black once. You have
troubles, so have others; none are
free from them, so don't waste your
time worrying and fretting over them.
Trouble gives sinew and tone to life
fortitude and courage to man, though
few of us are ready to face it.
That would be dull sea, and the
sailor would never get skill, where
there was nothing to disturb the
surface of the ocean. What though
| times look little dark, the lane will
turn, and the night will end in a
broad day. There is more virtue in
one sunbeam than in a whole hemis-
phere of cloud and gloom.
No pleasure or success in life quite
meets the capacity of our hearts. We
take in our good things with enthusi-
asm, and think ourselves happy and
satisfied; but afterward, when the
froth and foam have subsidized, we
discover that the goblet is not more
than half filled with the golden liquid
that was poured into it.-Murphy

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

pressive in manner and persons

ton a few weeks before, it was
a respectable, intelligent look>

marked contrast to Republican
conventions heretofore.
The absence of negroes was
perhaps the most striking fea-
ture of the whole thing. There
were only IS negroes IN the en-
tire delegation, nor was he there
intruding himself in large num-
bers as a mere spectator. The
word had gone forth for negroes
to stay away from the conven>

a show of kicking to be sure,
but the order was obeyed for all
that.
And when it came to making
out the ticket and passing
around the "honors' such as

and the like, the negro got se>
