night f Oo down to the depot In the
evening when the southern bound pas
senger train passes, and you will get an
idea about what they are learning. It

In the statement we made of the pre
liminary examination of Dr. Kcyc last

whom the examination was made, were
not called upon to pas upon that ques
tion . Tho countel for the defendant
made noappllcntlon lor ball. We make
this correction because we wish to make
no statement that will In any way preju
dice the case of defendant. We desire
to manufacture no public sentiment one
way or the other.

Mr. William Pickering, the proprietor

Lit OfT. A erle of depredatlniia
have recently been committed on for
mer In the ii'lglilHirhood of Morton, In
this county, but the theft could he
traced to no particular person until re
cently. Living near that place. In a
cabin, was a fellow named Bowser, (we
failed to learn hi given name), on
whom suspicion rested. A lew day
ago Mr. Ilinmati, a farmer of that vicin
ity, threshed hi wheat and left It In
sacks out In the yard, When thl fellow
Bowser, seeing the opportunity, itole 5
sacks of It and took them to Lexington.
A search warnfut wa secured and
llininan's empty sack were found In
Bowser cabin, with about 20 sacks be
longing to other parties. Mr. John
Holloway, another farmer had lost a

Very little of tha property stolen ha
been recovered, but the people In that
section think they are fortunate In

around a little too much for the safety
of personal property.

This wagon is now made with what I

the "Bain" as It has a reputation second
to no wagon made.

ing the spirit of vandalism now ram
pant among a certain class ol boy In
Richmond. To do thi, it will he neces
sary to secure the co-operation of the
parents, a It can only be done In this
wuy. This gum sling business should
be abolished, and all such instrument
of destruction. Hoys should be taught
by parents to respect property not their
own, and especially public property.
When this I done, the public school
building can be kept in repair.
