A Letter from Charlton County [communicated.] Ciiari.ton County, Ga , March 15, 1880. Editor News : Will yon allow me a small space in your valuable little paper purposely to let you and your many readers know just bow we have suffered down here by the notorious chicken thief that have been parading over our community for some time stealing every chicken that was pos¬ sible for t Item to get; I think in my estimation that it beats any thin g on record. Some Line in January they com¬ menced their piltev and plundering houses, gardens and potato banks of every body they came to. The first sufferers were Geo. Johns, Rachel Pell unis, Paul Johns, and Joe Johns. The intruders went to all those places in one night an robbe* all their foul houses and carried their game to one Nancy Crews, and there they had them cooked and indulged 1 imagine in one oi thepi rich old suppers. The second night they went to Susan Crews, Arch Crews, and wtold several head of chickens and went to the same Naney Crews, and had an other “chicken stew’’ at expense of those who were wrapped in the slum¬ bers of the night. The third rade was threatened Mrs. Jensey Crews, and that they would not leave her a single chicken, This give her such a fright that she went and got Noah Crews to come and watch her tout house during the night, which he done cheerfully not least thinking of his own danger. While the midnight hours were, to him no doubt slowly passing by, and the enemy expected every minute and him his vigils keeping, and the enemy mistrusting bv some means or other the plan laid to defeat them, went to his (Noah) place in ids absence and got twelve head ot chickens and one turkey, and went to Tye Crews, and had a frolic and a chicken pie. The fourth night they went to Mrs. Me Lean’s and stole five middlings of bacon several joles and hams. T he same night they went to Mrs. Sallie McLeans and stole two more chickens. The fifth night they went to Francis Crews, but by some means the family discovered them and attemped to de feat them when the intruders rebelled against being interfered with, shot in to the house hitting Jessee Crews and two of his sisters, but the shot being small did no damage, Jessee rolled in the house and cries out “Oh Lord, Father, I'm shot" ihe faintly being conqured gave up to the enemy and let them take all their chickens. This thiug goes further yet but for NO. 1. ._ r i tear of wearying your patience I w ill leave the rest unwritten as it only repeats the foregoing and I will drop the subject.

In this issue its made our dj^ty to chronicle the death of Mr. David Tuten near Baxley, in Appling county, which occured last Tuesday the 16th instant The murder is supposed to have been committed by one Mr. Leggett, who had sworn previously to kill Mr. Tuten on first sight. The tracks corresponds with Mr. Leggett’s fend was traced from where he (Mr. L.) was at work to where the man was murdered. Cir cumstauciul evidence would bo sti'ong against him but no positive proof. Mr. Tut( r. was a highly respected citizen of Appling county, and was on his way to Appling Court as a Juror when he was assailed. Sweat potatoes are 50cts per bushel in town and scarce at that.

We hear that the Baptist Church is going to give up their Organ, owing to n0 ^ being able to pay for it. That is in our opinion, bad policy, as you have g 0 ^ it halt paid for, not but about $40 niore to pay. -- r ■" Mr* J. W.
