A c<?nT»ct steals a horse
This morning’there came into town a
couple of strangers driving a mule and
leading a horse. The animal belongs to a
Mr. Coffin, of Monroe county, and was
stolen from him two or three nights ngn.
The history of the theft is this:
Coleman, a negro convict who escaped from
tho custody of the Chatthoochee Brick
Company, had gotten as far as the lower
part of the county when he was pursued
by a hand of seven or eight men. The
darkey saw that escape on foot was out of
question, so stole the horse out of Mr.
Coffin’s lot and rode him to M. Green Alt.
man’s place, in this-county, where he got
off aud left the animal first being kind
enough to put a tag on the horse stating
that it was stolen. The animal is a good
one, andssemsnone the worse this morn
from ing his hard drive.

In the old days, when powder and rouge
.were indispensable, a gallant gentleman
kissed the hand of his fair lady, and her
hand was kept immaculate, that his kiss
might mean much to him. Nowadays men
don't stoop down to kiss your hand, it
would get their trousers out of shape. Son
clean face becomes a necesity to a woman
who has any liking for that expression of
affection which is generally approved of
and seldom well done,
Alcn have an idea that their kisses are
appreciated—they are most immensely
mistaken. The average man gives a kiss
as lie throws a base ball—with too
much force. It ought to he as delicate as
a rose leaf. Almost a memory in a second
It need not suggest a postage stamp or r.
porous plaster.
Sir, I think I could write a book on kiss¬
ing, hut mail-kind is so determined that I
don’t think he'd take any advice on the
subject,, and,-yet; as-it is the women who
receive the kisses, they certainly ought to
know more about them than the great big
stupid creatures who give them.

A short time ago Mr. A. F. Willi im»,
living near Clark’s Mill, discovered some¬
thing wrong witb-dne of his horses. The
animal c- uhl not drink water as well as it
stud, and he made strange motions' with
his bead when eating. Judge Williams
supposed that there was something the
matter in the horse’s month, and he made
an investigation accordingly. To his otter
consternation, upon opening found the opening
its mouth Judge Williams that a
long piece of the auimai’s tongue had been
cut in two with a sharp instrument, and
was held in place only by a very small lig
ament Fho pieces of tongue dropped out
in an hour or two after the discovery was
made '['he horse can eat nothing but
ground feed, but is still living, the proper¬
ty of a hand on the railroad, to whom
was given.
Judge Williams thinks that some of the
negroes who were working the horse got
mad at it and cut out its tongue
