When Mr. Fuller arrived be found that the burglars had made their escape by jumping through the open window of the dining room. After an examination Mrs. Walters discovered that the thieves had arranged to carry ■off two trunks, but In their hsste were only able to secure one of the trunks and a small satchel. Tbe stolen trunk be longed to Mlta Walters, and contained clothing to the value of 475 to 4100, while in the satchel wae a small amount of money. A search revealed the fact that the trank was opened, rifled of Its contents, and then probably hidden In the woods, as many small articles Identified by Miss Walters as having been In It were found on the road to Americus. To make sure when all was safe to commence operations the burglars pull ed a heavy yard bench under Mr. Fut- ler’s window, thus commanding a view of the interior of his room and enabling them to ascertain when he was safely A PROSPEROUS YOUNO MAN. There was quite a collation left upon tbe dining room table from the previous meal, and this the thieves devoured completely. Tracks In the yard and around tbe hSnse lead to the supposition that the theft was committed by a man tr woman. As yet no capture has been effected. An Opportunity Offered. Mr. George W.

Don't Bay, Uello t A groat many people who answer tele- pliane calls, fail to comply with the printed Instructions as to the proper way to use the telephone, and thereby cause delay and confusion. When you answer a call, don’t say belto?' But as Instructed say, “this Is number 500 " That Informs tbe party calling you up that the proper connec tion has been made How can the call ing party tell, when you eimply say hello!" whether you are number 500 or 300 or 130? Improper connections are often made or old connections not yet rung off; snd these Instructions If fol lowed, are the only way to be sure that you are right as tbe proper basis for going ahead A Suggestion. The Timer-Recorder would make this suggestion as a possible solution of the street sprinkling difficulty: That the merchants sign and present to the meeting of the city council and water commissioners to-morrow afternoon a petition for relief from this grave evil. The matter will have then assumed a tangible shape and will in all probability bo acted upon by the council. Railroads Going to Grass. A few years ago, when under the management of tbe genial and aesthetic Major Belknap, the Centra] railroad began to plant grass plats at or near Its various depots, Major Belknap jestingly remarked: “If the agents don't raise grass, we will raise the agents ” Tbe raising of grass might be advan tageously started by the Southwestern Division of the Central all along every footof Its dusty line; for the experience of the S. F AW. In raising grass along its road bed Is certainly most satisfac tory, according to the Thomasvllle Times. It says: "Parties traveling over the lines of the S. F. A W, have noticed that the road bed, both on the side and between the rails, has been allowed to grow up In grass and weeds. Heretofore the roa I- bed has been kept perfectly clean and free from all growth, but experiments recently made have shown that this was money spent for nothing, ms the grass and weeds kept the bed from washing and the road In line, reducing tbe amount of labor very considerably and kept the road In a much better and safer condition. Railroad men eay that it Is a big improvement over tbe old plan, not only In the way of preserving the roadbed and reducing expenses, but In tbe comfort of passengers. On portions of tbe road where the grass has been allowed to grow, there Is no dust at all, while it is almost suffocating where the road is kept clean.” « Chicago Market. „ t’HWAoa Sept. ta.
