RoBBERlEs GALORE.
Darlington Is Just Now Passing Through
an Epidemic OF Small RobberIes.--
Seven in One Week.

The light fingered gentry are
getting in their work in great
shape in darlington at present.
During the past week or ten
days 40 less than seven robber-
les and attempts to rob have
been made and the citizens of
this place are on the alert. AL
though the losses have been
small in all cases still it is very
annoying to know that your
property and valuables have
been exposed to the tender
mercy of thieves. The following
parties had an evening visit
from the unwelcome providers
in the past few days. Sunday
night Charles Kegan's residence
was entered and few clothes
and small amount of money
stolen. Friday night, Jno. x.
Taylor's drug store was entered,
cigars, tobacco etc, was taken.
Saturday night, the grocery store
of Ashby & Livingston was
broken open and several articles
are missing.
Friday night the residence of
Tom McEuen and Ross Baugh
were entered but the thieves
were frightened away before
securing any plumber.
The same night some clothes
hanging on the line were re-
moved from the yard of j. r.
Dean and Mr.. Foster. Only a
few days since some one entered
the business house Of Leonard
Goodloe at noon and took all the
money In the cash drawer which
fortunately amounted to few
cents. 1t is predicted these gen.
tlemen will meet with a warm
reception if they make any more
visits to our citizens as a number
of them are sitting up nights
watching for them.

A new swindle is being work
ed on the gullible farmer. A
well dressed stranger stays all
night with his intended victim,
and during the stay reports that
he has lost a valuable diamond
pin somewhere about the place.
After searching for half day
he takes his leave, feeling bad
ly about his loss and requests the
farmer and his family to keep a
watch out for his pin, and adds
that he will pay 800 for its re-
covery. A few days later bnm
appears on the place and acct
dentally shows pin exactly
like the one they had all been
looking for, and casually remarks
that he found itoutside the gate.
After some dickering the pin is
sold for $25 or sometimes $50.
He then writes to the address
given him by the stranger for
him to bring his hundred and
get his pin. He never comes, as
the bum was in the deal and the
pin he had cost 20 cents.

dainty dresses for this spring and sum-
mer are to be made of silk. flushed mo
hair. lansdowne, batiste and coleinne
besides the soft silks and the sheer
fabrics. Hand-work in its charming
simplicity still supercedes elaborate
trimmings, and Every many dainty
frocks are made entirely of the mater
ial, utterly devoid of trimming and de-
pending solely for decoration on the
exquisite workmanship in the form OF
hand run tucks, shirring, fagoting
piping, etc." Yokes, cut round OF
square, are to be used a great deal, and
the 'drop yoke" as well as berUhas and
epaulets, will keep the broad-shouldered
effect still prominent. The skirts are
TO be still full. according with the pre-
valent 1880" ideas in clothes. Every
thing that can be done to a sleeve will
be in fashion, and puffs, shirrings and
ruilles will hinder the very rapid ar
rival of the lego mutton, which is
