ROBBERY AT PORTAL.
From Mr. W. E. Parsons, of the
new mercantile firm of W. E. Par¬
sons & Bro., we learn that thieves
visited the little town of Portal,
near Rocky Ford, Saturday night,
and helped themselves to such
articles as seemed needful in every
day life.
From the store of Parsons &
Bro. the thieves took shoes, pants,
suspenders, cheese, flour, tobacco,
etc., to the amount of $30 worth,
From Mr. W. S. Futch they also
took a buggy harness, lap robe,
and buggy whip, and from Mr. G.
W. Hagins a good saddle. The
w-onder is that while .they were
about it, the thieves did not make
a heavier draught upon the young
merchants.
A quiet effort i9 being made to
ascertain who the guilty parties
are.

NEWSY LETTER FROM BLACK.
Editor Bumc r Times:
By your papa; 1 am glad to see
all are not complaining of hard
times. The people in this settle¬
ment are busily engaged in pre
naring their land-5 for the coming
crpp. Not being posted in agricul¬
tural matters I cannot enter upon
this subject and give particulars.
All have finished plowing and get¬
ting ready to plant corn. The
doctrine of the people here seems
to be to have things conform to
their notions,—wind and weather
permitting. As far as I can see
they are ahead and are going to
keep so.
The principal events that have
taken place since I wrote last are,
the ice cream festival and oyster
supper for the benefit of Harmony
Church. It reflected gieat credit
upon the ladies who were the pro¬
moters of this social gathering.
Notwithstanding the inclemency
of the weather, it was well attend¬
ed and was a financial success.
The gentlemen spent money freely,
while the ladies were wreathed in
smiles. For the benefit of you
ludy readers would like to describe
some of the toilets worn, but the
following reason will explain why
I cannot:
I am a merry bachelor,
And so 1 shall remain.
For still my freedom I prefer
To Hymen's Railing chain.
One of my scholars handed me
an invitation to attend a '‘log frol¬
ic.” Never having attended eneef
these old timed customs, I con¬
cluded to go, because visions of
kegs, bottles and refreshments
seem to be associated with such
gatherings. There being no Ger¬
mane present I did not get an in¬
troduction to a keg of their nation¬
al Leverage; an Irishman not being
present the cork was not taken
out of the bottle. Aqua was hand¬
ed around freely, but concluded to
it s,“dry log made .rolling.” But
the dinner we had up for all
deficiencies. An epicure present
did justice to all that was in sight.
Allan H. Lee has the finest stock
of hogs in the county. Anyone
doubting this, make him a visit.
Thirty pigs in twelve months is
the record.
An amusing day. incident While happened of the
the other some
men folks, members of the Lee
family, were constructing a foot
log across Mill Creek for the bene¬
fit of children going to school, a
goat’s bleat was heard. On inves¬
tigating a herd of these animals
was found on one of the many un¬
inhabited islands which this creek
forms after the flood gates of thf
upper mill ponds are turiied loose
for a few hours grinding, and it
being known that wild goats are in
the swamp the men thought some
had been corraled. Possession be¬
ing nine points of the law, a plunge
was made without any prepara¬
tion for a bath, when it turned out
to be a bunch of Mr. Sam Moore’s
tame goats.
Dr. John G. May’s house has
been the scene of activity these last
few weeks. The sound of the ax.
u, ammer and gav are heard from
morn till night in reconstructing,
improving, etc, we having me¬
chanics among us who can do any¬
thing from building a house to re¬
pairing a Waterbury watch. The
Doctor is sparing • no ex¬
pense in having a place, which, in
every sense of the word, can be
called home. Some of his gentle¬
men friends from Savannah are
paying him a visit. They went
bird shooting with some of our
prominent merchants, when more
powder was used than birds killed.
At night a pleasant affair occur¬
red, the originating in the fertile mind
of Doctor’s wife, viz. a candy
pulling, and refreshments. concluding with a dance
The ladies
present. were Misses Mattie and
Lilia Cease, Rebecca Moore, Mat
tie Dutton, Sallie Hagins, Azalia
Grooms and Miss Anna Howard,
an accomplished young lady from
Screven county, a guest of Miss
Rebecca Moore. The gentlemen
were local celebrities. In this do¬
mestic paradise nothing is done by
halves. Wine and cake were lav¬
ishly dispensed. All enjoyed

♦f/eij^selves splendidly, and pro¬

complete success. It was in hon¬
or of J. F. Parrish, the consort of
Mrs. Dr. May’s daughter, Ella.
This gentleman {holds the impor¬
tant position of train dispatcher of
one of the railroads centering in
Savannah. By his social qualities
and gentlemanly deportmont, he
has made many warm friends here.
I hear the dinner bell ring, the
sound of which can be interpreted
in all languages, and must stop.

COULDN'T PROVE IT.
Among the coin* which were
taken from Herb Lee’s store
1 y the thief not mauy nights
ago, was a pewter dollar which he
had been keeping as a curiosity
for a year nr more. Last Satur¬
day night Tom Few (col.) attend¬
ed a colored festival in the east¬
ern part of the town, selling fruits
and p#a nuts for Walter Reaves,
and in making change this dollar
was passed on him. Tom saw
nothing wrong with the coin
and Sunday morning turned
his earnings at the festival over to
Mr. Reaves, stating that he got the
dollar from Abe Bird, a colored
man living two or three miles out
in the country. Heaves leported
the matter to Lee, and Sunday
afternoon when Mr. Abraham Bird
drove down th3 street for a Sunday
afternoon drive with his “sweet
little lass,” he was promptly uab
bed and put in jail on suspicion of
being the thief.
The case was heard before Esq.
Rountree Monday, where Bird was
acquitted for want of evidence.
Before the same court he was
tried for passing counterfeit mon¬
ey, and of this he also was cleared
for the same reason as of the first
charge.

Messrs. E. E. Foy <fc Co. are mak¬

the way of having their guano
brought n^ar their farms.
The farmers of this section are
making preparations making for another
crop. They are “early to
bed and early to rise” their motto,
aid the result is, all seem to have
plenty of home-raised provisions
for the year, and we see in several
places bales ofjunsold which cotton under
the shelters, causes us to
judge that there must be some eash
ahead also.
The school at this place is in a

more are expected next week. The
