Thanks, —We are requested to thank
Lieutenant Hurley, of the police force, for
his faithful and almost superhuman efforts

A GAY AND FESTIVE YOUTH OF SIXTY SUM
MERS IS RELIEVED OF THREE HUN
DRED DOLLARS UNDER “ WER
RY PECOOLIAR ” CIBCUM
CUMSTANCEB.
In a little town on the Macon & West
ern Railroad not a thousand miles from
Macon fifes a man who has seen some
sixty years of joy and happiness in this
wicked World. He loves the society of
ladies Wt the harrow edrifines of his own
little- towq, not, afford smiles enough,
and he travels occasionally.
He is also a lover 6f that article which
never fails to superinduce redness of eyes,
i etc., arid' he' eVer and anon indulges his
appetite for the aforesaid beverage.
Getting weary of the stupid dullness
that pervaded his town, our youthful hero
came dowu to Macon. He took a dose of
something stronger than water to drive
dull care away, and after supper sauntered
out for a walk. During his perambula
tions be fell in with two fancily dressed
women, negroes by profession, and there
upon ensued a conversation. Taking one
of the colored damsels iu low, ho pro
ceeded to some retired spot where ho
talked of love and moonshine for some
time. Presently the colored lady screamed
and rau. Our man thought probably she
had sat down on a nail, or lost her store
teeth or something, and refused to console
her. When he reached the hotel he
found that the cause of the fancily dressed
damsel’s sudden departure was that in
rummaging around his old clothes
her hand caiue in contact with a pock
et-book containing some three hundred
dollars which she took a great liking
and appropriated it for her own use.
As one naturally feels when placed in
such a strait, oar nmn wes indignant and
poured his tale of woe into the sympath
izing cars of one of our policeman.
Several wore arrested Thursday but
none answered the description except one
saffron colored girl who sports but one
optic. She wits brought before his honor
yesterday morning for identification by
our man. lie said he could easily iden
tily her as the person who went through
his pockets by a peculiar mark on her
person. The Court did not have any pos
itive proof that she was the guilty indi
vidual and she was let off.
Our man will return to his native hills
minus money and plus Macon whiskey,
a sadder and wiser man.
