Mr. K S. Stephens U aprospercus far
mer living in Sumter county about
twelve miles from Americus, who, for
Horn* time, lias been missing chickens
from his hen house. When twenty-two
of his plumpest chickens disappeared in
one nif;ht, about three days since, he put
a burglar alarm on the door of the
chicken house and so arranged that it
anything moved inside of the place the
alarm would ring. Then lie armed him
self with a revolver and waited for the
thief.
One bright moonlight night the alarm

Hon. R. T. Xesbitt. commissioner of
agriculture, will address the citizens of
Sumter county“in the court house at
Americus at 11 .*00 a. m. on Wednesday.
January 1:5, 18!>2 He will visit several
counties in this section on this trip. The
object of these visits i* to bring the agri*

advise the farmers as to what the de

Editor R. Don McLeod of the Macon
County Citizen who Ided himself to the
clime where the orauge and banana
grows, on “an important business trip,”
returned Tuesday. He did not briug
back deeds to whole counties of rich
phosphate lands or records of big news
paper deals, as was expected, not at all.
Our iuformant who saw him pass
through Americus says “he wore a
smile that was discernible behind his
eats and looked happy as a king, while
beside him perfectly contented sat a fair
daugeter of the ‘Flower Land* whom he
introduced as Mrs. McLeod “
Accept our best wishes Hro. McLeod.
May you be as successful in all your

borhood.
Mr. Stephens grabbed his gun and
jumped to the window prepared to till
the chicken thief with lead.
Before the alarm stopped ringing Mr. i
Stephens was in a position to rake tlm I
chicken house door and I lie premises |
around it.
The l>r*glit inoon lit up the place like >
an electric light, hut there was no one in j
sight. The locked door had not been
tampered with. A chicken, however,,
had been stolen.
This rather staggered Mr. Stephens, ;
hut when the alarm went oil' again the ■
I same night in the same way, and another 1
uv llukt . i, a point to lend the trade cllicl<cn disappeared ho began to think
j things that might have shocked a pirate, j
n tlii> Hue, and he the lirst to show all ^ HOOn (r;l nie about that he had only one ,

, . . . | lonesome fowl went the way of the i
, u c«. a complete assortment of the new. 1 ,
others.
-t and best, fresh from the leading! Mr. Stephens then borrowed some j
Km fine Xeckwear and cI,icke, is and stocked the hennery again, j
He lost a score or more of them and
never once saw the thief. He even lay !
alongside of the coop at night, but right |
under his nose, as it were, lie heard the \
startled cry of a chicken as the intruder i
caught it by the neck and made off 1
with it. j
The very next day a brindled dog
came sniffing and strolling around the
chicken house in a suspicious manner.
Mr. Stephens knew the dog as the prop
erty of a man who professed to make a
living by hunting rabbits and other small
game in the neighboring woods.
Two or three dogs ran at his lieels,
and this particular suspicious looking
canine was among the retinue.
Here was a clew!
Mr. Stephens watched the hole by the
side of the lien house by which the
chickens came in and out, and one night
he caught the dog in the very act of
chicken stealing.
He fired at the dog but missed it.
