"Mr. P. G. Taylor returned last night

here on December Goth. He says he
found the dog in the possession OF

from Giles turpentine camp. Mr.. Tay-
lor arrested the young men on charge
of larceny and brought them back here
with him last night and placed them in

be so gay the next time. Also, the

Congressman Watkins at Home.

:
The following two items of interest to
the Banners readers are clipped from
the Signal Democrat, our Minden ex-
change:
Congressman ]. T. Watkins arrived
Monday from Washington City. He
was i'll when he left Washington and
went Immediately to bed on reaching
home. He was better, however, We'd
nesday, and was able to come down town
that afternoon. He expects to leave for
Washington the last of the week in
order to be in his seat on the reassem-
bling Of Congress Monday after its holi-
day recess. Congressman Watkins has
been away from home for nearly year.
In fact he has spent but little time here
during the last two years. He is never
absent from Congress while the body is
in session and as the National law
makers have been almost continuously
in session during the past two years he
has had but little time to spend at home.
In fact he has made quite an enviable
record since he was elected to Congress
for rarely ever being absent from his
seat while Congress was in session.
