enough money to carry tho

trouble to secure a quorum to hole
these meetings. 1t is very importan
and people who should be interest
ed should be present and take ;
part, or else not find fault with those
who do take a part and do the yer!
best they can for all concerned.
Chicken Thieves
Reports coming from some sec
tions of Sussex county say that chic
ken thieves are again plying theii
infamous trade. Some farmers have
lost nearly their entire fiocks by
the depredations of these poultry
thieves. 1t would seem that the
whipping post which has been re-
established in Sussex of late, would
have a tendency to keep this class
of robbers from doing so much pill
fering. The recent whippings at the
new Jail should be a warning to all
chicken thieves what they may eX-
pect, if caught, to receive.
In the future if the punishment
could be made a little heavier for
chicken stealing, it perhaps would
aid in stopping it.
The late Chief Justice Gilpin in
sentencing a culprit to so many
lashes would say to the sheriff, see
that they are well laid on.
