A DIRTY TRICK.

Some one Friday night, maliciously
burned the cotton that Bob Ellis, re-
siding at Mabel, Ky, well known here
had loaded in two wagons and ready
to bring to the gins on Saturday
morning. On going out Saturday morn
ing to his barn he found that during
the night some one had burned both
big wagon loads of cotton that he
loaded, also completely destroying
wagons, one being new wagon pur-
chased from w. A. Johnston a short
time ago. The deed could not be ac-
counted for as he didn't know he had
such an enemy or why anyone should
have bothered his property.
