ruin, and decay, but instead he looked
upon trim, well-kept cottage, and a
soft, grooming song, in a voice which
reawakened the tender memories of
long ago, came floating through the
unlatched door.
Half believing that it must be fancy
leading him still, he entered the house
softly, and, following the voice, went
into the inner room, and stood in the

across the light, and then stood white

Luther Taylor, a young white man, charged with grand larceny for stealing from his employees while engaged as d retail salesman, confessed and was given d three years sentence. George Harris a well known white man here, was ar- rested yesterday upon a charge of grand larceny for the alleged robbing l..
