bault, formerly of this city, now
of New Orleans, have mysteri

The diamonds disappeared some
time yesterday and were not miss

forgotten purse it waa fpund that
a bell boy had given the purse to

had been removed from the box
and the box put back in the purse.
Nothing else was missing from
the purse. The diamonds were

WEST VIRGINIA
WOMEN TAKE TO
SELLING LIQUOR
Charleston, W. Va., Oct. 25.—
Dazzled by wealth and luxury in
which successful bootleggers revel,
women in large numbers are turn
ing to manufacture and sale of
moonshine liquor in West Virginia,
according to officials of branches
of state and federal prohibition
departments.
As proof of their contention
they point to scores of arrests of
members of the fairer sex in re
cent weeks on charges of making
and selling liquor illicitly.
In two days recently reports
from prohibition agents over the
state told of the arrest of sixteen
women on whisky charges.
The women violators, in the ma
jority of cases, officials said, when
proved guilty of charges, were
sentenced to punishment without
regard to sex.

yesterday.

It is believed that the volunv;

Butss county this season will he
larger than last year’s total.
Owing to dry weather the yield
of ripe pepper has not been as
large this season as in former
years. The price is said to be
satisfactory and growers are ex
petting good returns.
This season the farmers of
Butts county contracted to grow
1,000 acres in pimento peppers
for the Georgia Pimento Canners,

here during the year.
