Our facilities for se- 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. Hayneville Dots. By Pineapple. Rev. W.

Mr. Mike Daniel, who has been Florida and other parts, has Last Monday Ordinary Hurst received from Atlanta the pen sion checks for Houston county veterans and widows of veterans. There were fifty-nine checks, ag gregating in value $8,860. Each oieck was for one person, there being forty-three for $60 each, fif teen for $50 each and one for $80. Several veterans were in Perry Monday afternoon, and they re ceived their checks, secured cash for them at one of the Perry banks and went home in good hu mor.
