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.

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.

Death of a Juror.
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
