The line drizzling rain has ceased to trouble
pedestrians, but the mud still continues to lay
in bliss upon the streets. To day the weather
is tolerably good.
THE IIAYOB’S COURT.
HON. W. A. HUFF I’HESIDINO.
The police force having been greatly reduced,
the number of names on the docket are conse-
Hiiently reduced to none. There has been only
one case in the last two or three days.
The l*rcnbyteriun Festival.
This Festival to be given by the ladies to
the children of tha Presbyterian Church, has
bora postponed until to-morrow evening, in
eon-c<iuence of bad weather, and the wretched
condition of our streets.
Preparations are in process and have already
hem completed to make it one of the most
interesting affairs of the season. The ladies
having it in charge well understand how to
mauage such entertainments. No charge will
be made for admission, and children from ten
to seventy-five are cordially invited to attend.
'l'lie I*olice.
The police force of our city hue been reduced
cue-half. We are now left with twelve
policeman to patrol a city of a population of
IP,(XX) and with the holidays a few days off.
The tirst thing anew board of Alderman docs
is to pitch right out for an economical admin
istration, and the unfortunate police force is
always the first thing they light on. Give us a
goon police force and pay them well for what
they do.
The Christmas Tree.
Mr. Editor: In your notice of the Christmas
Tree proposed to be had by the Aurora Lodge
of Good Templars, a mistake, likely to mislead
as to time, was made. The time will be
TnuKSDAY,DECEMBEK 26th,instead of Wednes
day, the 35tli. I would also state that tickets
can be had at the drug stores of S. D. Everett
and J. It. Zoilin & Cos.; also, of Mbs Maggie
Kelly, Leroy Crockett, Miss Hattie Ilillard and
the members generally. As we are desirous of
putting our Lodge on a good foundation, fi
nancially, as well as furnishing an oocasion of
enjoying ourselves on a cold water basis, we
hope all friends of the Order will lend a helping
hand. Every ticket will draw something.

The Forger’* Gang.
The astonishing operations of a gang of
forgers, distributed through several Southern
cities,among them our city,and working in con
cert, were detailed in this and other papers
last winter. It will be remembered, the oper
ations were conducted on principles as scien
entifle as those of a military campaign. The
headquarters of the gang were in New York.
Dispatching the men to half a dozen large
cities, tlia campaign was opened. The first step
was to deposit in banking-houses the cheeks
previously prepared in New York ; then, at an
appointed time or signal, the checks were
drawn upon, as collatteral, for a fifth or
third of their amount, and the operators
decamped, the calculations being that, even
should or two of the gang be caught, the
rest would undoubtedly make a haul large
enough to bail, and perhape clear their unfor
tunate “pal.” Thu operations of the gang
above referred to were very successful. In
Huntsville, Montgomery, Decatur, Charleston,
Savannah, Augusta Macon aud several other
Southern cities, where members of the band
had been statiomed, banks and individuals were
taken in, and the forgers succeeded in getting
away with a total amount of over SBO,OOO.
Great excitement prevailed, and every effort
was made to capture the criminals. Telegrams
and letters describing their personal appear
ance, etc., were dispatched over the country,
and the detectives of the principal cities put
upon the alert for their capture. Two of
them, Holmes and Bennett, were captured in
our city, but months paesed, and nothing was
heard of the others until last week.
A few days ago, Chief Detective Harrigan, of
St. Louis, received information which led him
to believe that one of their number was in that
city. A man answering the description, -and
named E. C. Servisa, supposed to he ona of the
principal members of the gang, was found
stopping at the Southern Hotel. A sharp watch
was kept upon him, and on Dec. 10th Detec
tives Harrigan, Duckworth and Tracy arrested
him on the comer ofj Fourth ;and Walnut Sts.
He was searched. On his person were found a
large pocket-book, containing a number of sus
spicious articles. A few blank pages were writ
ten in cypher. In the pocket-book were a num
ber of letters, directed to E. C. Scrvis-fsornc
of which ware evidently written from a “pal”
in New York, and a photograph of a rather
pretty woman about thirty year* of Age. The
principal “find,” however, was seven drafts,
purporting to have been drawn by Fordice &
ltisdon, of Huntsville, Ala., on the North Amer
ican Bank, of New York, in favor of James A.
Cook, Esq. They rang* in amount from $.7)0
to S3OOO, and aggregated $11,700. Serviss(that
lc- admitted waa bas name) was considerably
taken by bis sudden arrest, but he denied that
lo- knew anything about it (the pocket-book:
it didn t belong to him, he didn't know whom
it and and belong to, and he eeuld not account for
bein ™ t!ierc - He was taken to tbe Four
Courts, and will be held to awsit orders from
■be Chief Of Police of Huntsville, Alabama,
who was telegraphed to immediately.
It is supposed that be was arrested last spring

himself at the Southern as from New York,

THE ntEISIVn WEEKLY.
IT ia universally conceded that advertising ia
a necessity to success In business; It ia also
conceded, by the shrewdest business men, tbat
newspapers are the beat medium for reaching
all parties whose trade Is desired.
THE MONBOE ADVERTISER
reaches more of the people trading with Ma
con than uay ether journal published in tbe
country; it Is, therefore, the tmt medium of
communication with the planting Interests.
We will be happy at any time to furnish refer
ences to leading merchants here and elsewhere,
who will testify to the fact that they have re
ceived orders (or goods from parties who read
their cards in The Advertiser. In fact, many
who have availed themselves of Its columns,
candidly say that Its value exceeds that of all
other Journals in which they are represented.
The Advertiser has the freshness of youth and
the ripeness of age, aud la therefore deservedly
snccessful.
CHABACTBIt OF ADVBKTIBBMBNTI.
No advertisements are admitted whleh are
not believed to be above question and of real
value, und from parties so unquestionably re
liable that the renders of Tht Adverliur will be
safe in ordering them from any distance. To
onr readers, the fact of its appearance here lias
all the weight of endorsement and authority.
