YOUNG Fellow Named Warren Steals
Mare From Stables at Seymour
and Sells Her to aPdrty f1eTe.

An iron-gray mare, belonging to 7. E.
Stainaker, Of Seymour station, Lewis
,ccrnty, was stolen from his stables
Tuesday night and all trace was lost Of
her until the trail Leading toward Clarlzs-
burg was discovered.
Tho next morning after the theft
young man giving his name as Il. d.
Barrett and his residence as Mt. Glare,
sold the animal here to Frank Reynolds,
5acluding the bride and saddle, which
had also been stolen, for $3.50. That
evening Mr.. Reynolds sold the mare to
John w. Smart for SIS. Both trans-
actions were legitimate and great was
the surprise when they learned that they
had been doing business with stolen
property. StalnalScr's father, S. Stall
maker. came to the city Friday evening
and identified the mare MS the one that
had been stolen from his son. He made
affidavit before Squire James n. David
that the horse. saddle and bride belong
ed TO his SON. After this had been done,
Mr.. Stuart, being convinced that the
mare had been stolen, surrendered her
10 Mr.. stalnalSer, and air, Reynolds gave
up the saddle and bride.
It turns out that the fellows name is
Warren, and not Barrett. as be gave it
to Mr.. Reynolds. He Resides at scy-
lnUtr. but has beer away the past three
months working ut railroad camp. He
CAN'T through here Tuesday evening, and
fanning. across Mr.. Reynolds, he told
him about the mare. fully describing
her and requested him to buy her, as he
had no use for her. He told Mr.. .Rey-
nolds that he had paid $40 for her and
was willing TO take $40 for her. Ninety
dollars had been paid for the mare, but
it was by Mr.. tstainaker, who purchased
her three months ago, and before Warren
left Seymour to work on the railroad.
Wednesday morning, while Mr.. Rey-
nolds was milking cow at his home,
Warren rode up with the mare and tried
TO sell her. Reynolds did not care about
buying her, but after Warren had in
sisted a long time, he gave him IS in
money and check for $3.50 for her
and the saddle and bride. Warren stay
ed around the city until the banks open
ed for the day and got the money on
the check, signing It in the name of
Il. D. Barrett, the same he had told Rey-
nolds. he disappeared after that and
has not been seen since.
Warren is neighbor Of stalnaker, re-
siding close to his home. It is evident
that he had the theft planned for some
time. It is stated that he is wanted in
Lewis county upon the charge of forg-
ing several checks also.

Keep the Ralance up.

1t has been tluthfully said that any
disturbance of the even balance of health
causes serious trouble. Nobody can be
too careful to keep this balance up.
When people begin to lose appetite, or
to get tired easily, the least imprudcnce
brings brings ON sickness, weakness or
debility. The system needs tonic
Graves it, and should not be denied it;
and the best tonic of which we have any
knowledge is Hoods Sarsaparilla. What
this medicine has done in keeping healthy
people heolthy, in keep up the even bal
ance of health, gives it the same distinc-
ton as preventive that it enjoys as a
cure. It's early use has illustrated the
wisdom of the old saying that stitch
in time saves nine. Take Hoofs for ap-
petite, strength and endurance.

never before attained by any local or

A YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN
ASSOCIATION FOR SAVANNAH

A Young Women's Christian Associa-
ton is to be organized in Savannah. A
meeting was held a few days ago to
consider organization.
Miss Disbro. secretary of the
Young women's Christian Association
in Atlanta. who has been in the city
several DAYS. in the interest of the
plan, was present and explained the
purpose of the organization. The
worlds headquarters for the Young
Women's Christian Association are in
London; the national headquarters are
in Chicago, and the headquarters of the
Gulf states division, including Georgia,
Alabama, Mississippi, Florida and
Louisiana are in Atlanta.
The Young Women's Christian Asso-
citation is not a charitable organization
in the common use of that term. In
many cities it is largely self-support-
ing, and is conducted on business pr1n-

ciples that commend themselves to all.
The work of the association is new
in the South, only three of the socie-
ties represented in the association be-
ing Southern-Atlanta, Nashville and
Chattanooga. Charleston has within
the past month organized an associa-
ton and will establish headquarters in
the central part of the city at once.
No active work will be undertaken
in Savannah before fall or winter, but
a temporary executive board is being
formed for the preliminary work of
organization.
Savannah has many ideal conditions
for the success of this project, and the
near future will undoubtedly see the
organization we'll established.
Mrs. w. H. Elliott, Mrs. H. c. Cum
ningham, Mrs. ]. G.. Robertson and
Miss McAlpin form nominating COM
mittee appointed by Miss Disbro to
select members of a board that will
take charge of the development of the
work.

The Wise Woodchuck
From the New York Press.

My old friend C. z. Swezey, editor
of the Vintage. has acquaintance of a
tame woodchuck, who as weather
prophet has never been beaten. The
Saturday night before the cold spell
in February" says Swezey, on oath,
''chuck managed to get out of his cage,
which is in a shed near the green
house, AS soon as he struck the
floor he began most industriously to
gather up every piece of paper that
he could find and take 1t to his abode,
where he tore it into bits about half
an inch square. He lined the entire
box on all sides with the litter, then
lay down and covered himself COM
pletely with the stuff and went to
sleep. This morning Q4th) 1 saw Mr..
Chuck in a great deal larger box and
out of doors, and what do you sup
pose he was doing? Covering himself
again with his litter of paper; but
this time he left his head out and
was wide awake, and after finishing
his job refused to move"

equipped with electric lights, bells and
shower baths. There will be dressing
rooms between the pavilion and the

bells everywhere, and the pavilion will
be filled with comfortable chairs and
easy seats.
Mr.. Barbee has arranged to have
water pipes for fresh water extending
to the farthest point of the pavilion,
so that boats in the river can be sup
piled. Mr.. Henry Eason is the architect
