Mr. Connerton, who runs a store near the Lower bridge,' has been troubled by thieves lately. A few nights ago be was awakened by a loud noise as if something was falling down, he arose, seized his sbotgnn, and proceeded to the front of his store. As he passed one of the windows two figr ures jumped outand.ran for all they were worth. Mr. Connerton raised his shotgun and let them uave the full benefit, he says he thinks he hit one, but if he did,it did not lessen his pace. Nothing of any importance was taken from the store as the parties were dis turbed before they got in their work. OTHER THIEVES.

The new year is upiin us, and with it will come, “we apprehend,” the hardest times that we have ever inetwithin these parts. Con trary to the advice of the ablest minds of the country at large, and, in fact, right in the face of tbeir own better judg ment, our people have pursued the ruin ous mania for speculative farming until the end has come with a great many of them. Halt crops of cotton is the cry from the farmer; half paid accounts from merchant, and largely over drawn account; from the cotiun factor. T jus it he country goes, almost general 1 y, and what the real outcome will be in the end we fear to predict “Whether or not” it would really be best in the end for the monied men of the country to bridge over the present disaster by farther extension of time is a doubtful question in our mind.

Brooklyn comes to the front, and again'the double-barrel shot-gun is used. Mr. Mack Parr has a store on Broad street, on the hill this side of Brooklyn branch. Last year Mr. Parr had a fine crop of cabbage which he gathered and put in a bouse near his store. The veg etables were indeed beautiful and were looked upon with great pride by the merchant, but it seems that Mr. Parr was not the only merchant who loved cabbage, for the owner observed one morning when he visited his pile that spme one had been there and taken a lie did not relish the justomers Mr. John Early Chambers, of Banks •ountv,died Thursdav.

Accompanied by his gun, lie took his stand, and in a short time a fig ure appeared to charge on the pile, but Mr. Parr was too quick for him, and raising his gnn, he let the late visitor have the contents. On examination it was found that the party was George Brown, who runs a little store in the neighborhood. Brown was not hurt very much, but he wont take #ny more of Mr. Parr s cabbage.

We have positive proof that there is now in the cellar of the Banner-Watchman office the oldest pi ess in the country, and from its looks one would take it to have been used by Noah in printing circulars about the weather. This press is not of the modern style and has none of the im provements made in late years. It is piaced on a bench with a lever power and a small roller to ink the form. This press was purchased years ago from a firm in Savannah who was running a magazine, and brought to Athens. The owners of the magazine said that it was the press used by. Benjamin Franklin and we have not doubt, from its anti quated appearance, that they are right. The press can be seen at the Banner- Watchman office. tail ing evenrog was spent by all the uiembeYs. .
