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. NESBITT Will Addrr** the Citizen* of Suuiter Coun ty on .l:in nary 1.1. Hon. R. T.

We are glad that he is coining to our comity. His addresses are plain and practical and we hope to see as many farmers of the county as possible pres ent to hear him. The following ;rre liis In the Toll*. 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.

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 , uov -Rapes and designs.

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. the papers at Fort (mines. Rlukely, Rain- bridge, Camilla, Albany, Smitliville and Ruena Vista are requested to publish them: Cuthbert, Tuesday, January 5th.
