fakey about it. It stands on its merit,
It is put up in a neat and pretty pack

we will send you a large box by mail.

Prince Jefferson, a youthful
dusky denizen of New' Hope, has
pro ven himself a prince of chick
en thieves.
During the last several months
many fine chickens have been sto
len from poultry yards in Perry.
Twice last week Mr. J. G. Holtz-
claw lost thoroughbred fowls,
and guided by well-founded suspi
cions, he investigated. Having
learned where several chickens
had been sold, he identified his
pets, and also learned that Prince
Jefferson had sold the chickens.
The thief was arrested and in
county court he was convicted
and sentenced to pay a fine of
$80 or serve 12 months on the
gang. A farmer paid the fine,
and now in the country he has a
wider range of industry, but res
tricted opportunity to indulge his
foul fancy for fancy fowls.
His arrest and conviction led
to the revelation that this negro
boy, not more than 16 years old,
had stolen at lease 100 chiokens
from nearly a dozen yards in Pei-
ry. His methods were sly and
persuasive, exercised day as well
as night, and that on at least one
occasion he used a fish hook and
line baited with grains of corn.

‘More rain, more rest” is an
old adage, and the more we rest
the more we want to rest, is a
motto of our own invention, and
the recent dampness of the weath
er has afforded ample opportunity
for promoting it. But as soon as
the soil is dry enough to plow, the
farmers will pull their bell-lines
again and use every effort and ad
vantage to regain lost tiipe. Those
who bought guaho early are fa
vored with suitable time for haul
ing and agreeable to all aocounts,
larger amount than usual will
be used in this section this year.
