Grenada Sentinel: Probably one o.
the richest robberies occurring in Mis-
sissippifor sometime past occurred at
Hardy Sunday might. Andrew Towner,
a reputable and respected negro about
60 years Of age, was robbed OF between
$1,000 and $1,000 while he was attending
church. The money was keptin couple
OF sacks and stored away ia strong box
about his home somewhere. The box
was made by p. S. Watson & Co., in
Grenada, several years ago. The robber
or robbers, evidently knew tie where
'abouts. of the money They carried of
box and all. A large.part OF the money
was in gold and parties who know the
negro say there is no doubt as to his
having as much as he claims. lie has
been very successful in business ven-
lures and has hoared his money very
closely. Being rather suspicious Of
banks he always declined to deposit
money in them, and he would not invest
his funds in any kind Of property. He
did not even Town his home. Some Of
his white friends often advised him to
put his money in bank or invest it in
some way, but he declined. The money
represented the saving OF life time and
was the only property the o!dnegro had.
There is no clue tothe robbers.

DEVILS ISLAND.

A few miles east Of Pascagoula, in
Grand Bay, is Devils Islands. 1t is
oblong in shape 1000 yards in length and
600 in central width. 1t is uninhabited
and possesses mysterious reputation
among fisherman and hunters Hidden
treasurerswas supposed to be buried
there long ago by pirates that infested
the Gulf. The surface Of the island is
Scared in many places where small
parties have sought to find the buried
valuables. Deep holes of more or less
size mark the spots Owing to the bar
rem and forbidding appearance of the
place, but few ever visit it. It is said
that doleful sounds are continuously
heard to excite superetititous belief that
it is haunted ground, based upon the
FACT that during the civil war it was
made Military grave yard. As no one
ventured to. 60 there in long time it
may be that the noise comes from bears,
as several of these wild beast have been
seen on the adjacent mainland.
The funniest thing of the sort (the
editorial 1--WE" which ever appeared in
print was the editorial report which a
well-known North Carolina editor gave
of a personal encounter" which he had
with an old enemy on the train, says the
Richmond (Va.) Times. 1t ran some
thing like this: "When we entered the
car we saw Mr.. sitting several
seats away. Soon after we were seated
he approached us and sat down by our
side. We then Eentered into conversa-
ton. He made mention OF the difficulty
between us and We gave version OF the
affair. He then called us liar, and 1--WE
struck him. He struck back atus and
we 1clinched. In the scramble which
followed we got out into the isle and we
got him down and were giving him what
he deserved when the conductor and
some of the passengers came up and in
terfered. Then we were parted"
