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. A Woiuaa ’s £ «!<■;: AbontSiissing 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.
