In some sections of the county
petty thievery is being reported,
though there seems to be no indica-
ton that there is in operation any
gang" Of thieves. 1t seems to be
merely the outcropping OF meanness
here and there. One Of the latest
losers is J. p. Jones, who lives on
West Union r. f. d., who one night
recently had his smoke-house enter
ed, the thieves taking two hams and
side Of meat. They very thought
fully left Mr.. Jones one side Of meat
for his own use. Mr.. Jones thinks
that he has the guilty parties spot
ted and there may be later develop
mcEts.
