STORE BURGLARIZED.
Store of J. T. and J. W. Pitts 0
Newborn Robbed of $50.
The store of J. T. and J. W.
Pitts at Newborn was burglarized
Tuesday night and the money draw
relieved of over $50.
An entrance to the store was
made through the front door which
was prized off its hinges by a largo
crow bar. Some few articles of
merchandise were taken, the exact
amount is not known.
Messrs J. T. and J. W. Pitts
run propably the largest store in
Newborn, carrying a line of gener¬
al merchandise.
Strong suspicion rests upon some
white men, who we learn, have
been “hanging round 1 j the town
for several days.
PRICE ADVANCES
Local Spots Went Up to II 7*S
Cents Yesterday.
Eocal spots—11 7-8 cents.
Cotton is on the upward move
now, especially in the future mar¬
kets, and general opinion is that
the advance will not stop until (lie
price has reached 18 cents. Even
though there has been an apparent j
inclination ou the fanners to self 1
at the high price, which is consul- :
ered natural, it is not thought that
the affect sales will be heavy enough to |
tbn market.
I A nntlceablw fact, iu calumctKW

Special Notice.
The Major and Council give
notice that any person caught ex¬
ploding fire crackers, cannon
crackers, dynamite or any other
noi»y explosions will be fined the
full limit of the law $100 00.
$50.00 of this umouui will be puid

dence to convict.
