HE ROBBED HIS AUNT
And Started to Visit tbe Mscos Csraivsl,
But —.
From Thursday’s Daily Herald.
Just as Robert Malone, alias Robert
Barber, a negro and - general sport, was
boarding the early morning Central
train this morning for Maoon, Officer
Barron laid a detaining hand upon bis
shoulder and soon marohed him up to
Castle d’Ed wards.
Robert had decided to go to the Ma
con carnival and take in the Bights, and
had been so thoughtful as to go into his
annt’s till and take the money that it
contained. With this money he pur
chased a ticket to Macon and, with this
in his pocket, he was in high glee as he
boarded the tram this morning. His
annt had discovered that she had been
“touched,” however, and she reported
the matter to the officers. She suspected
her sporty nephew and her saspioious
proved to be well founded.
Officer Barron resold the tioket to
Macon and returned the money to Rob
erts’ old aunt.
Thns was Robert robbed of his Macon
trip and was Macon robbed of a carni
val visitor.

Scarcity of Doves.
Doves are scarcor in this seotton this
fall than they have been In a number of
seasons, and this is a surprising faot to
the sportsmen. It is hard to arrive at a-
plausible reason why doves should be so -
scarce this season. In fsot, everything
seemed to Indicate before the shooting
season opened that doves would be plen
tiful. Daring the last few years, since-
the law bas stopped tbe slaughter of
doves in baited fields, comparatively few
of them have been killed. JThis
law was passed to prevent the
wholesale slaughter of these birds,
and in tbe hope that the dove*-
would grow more plentiful, so plentiful
in faot that it would be possible for a
sportsman to get a nice bag of them any-
afternoon by driving a mile or two' into
the oonntry. Bnt the doves are grow
ing scarcer, apparently, eaoh season and
sportsmen are unable to aooonnt for it. .
With the growing soaroity of doves it
is gratifying to the sportsmen to feel
that there seems to be no decrease in the
number of partridges in this seotion,
and it is believed by those who have
been in u position to notiee that the
partridge orop will be as large this year
as usual, and the coming season promises
to hold some good shooting in store for
those who go to the fields with gun and
dog in qnest of game.
