Stealing is stealing, it matters not wheth er the thief is the purloiner of a million dollars, or of a newspaper that he is too in tolerably mean and stingy to pay for. There are one or more such newspaper rogues around Jordan, and we are sick and tired of their depredations. We have had many complaints about these thefts at Jordan, and in some. instances subscribers have i been compelled to change their po'stoffice to Davis to be able to get their papers at all. They lived a distance from the postoffice, t and their mail was taken outq by some one, and never delive.:ed. Mr. J. L. Eadon told us yesterday he had t not had a paper for several weeks, and said t further that every paper he had gotten had i been opened and read. Now, we say the i party that has been reading Mr. Eadon's pa- I per, to avoid paying us for the news we i publish, has lbeen stealing our wares, and t when he, she, or they went further, and af- < ter reading Mr. Eadon's paper, neglected to i deliver the paper to him, stole his property, 1 too. If this petty thieving about Jordan does z not stop, we shall put a detective on the f track of the thieves, and see what Uncle I Sam has to say about tampering with his I mails. Will not the postmaster at Jordan I help us in this matter?

EDrroR THE iiANNING TLrFs:-It was my ;ood fortune to attend a marriage the 1Gth nst., and a big infair the 17th, in which I I >fficiated with much pleasure. The mar iage took place at the bride's mother's, Mrs. dirah Goodman. Her daughter, Miss Sallie, ras married to W. J. Keels, all of Shiloh; he ceremony was performed by Mr. Gleaton. Lbout fifty persons attended. I with Dr. I 2. McElveen acted as best men with wo of Shiloh's belles as bridesmaids. Af er the ceremony the bridal party took a 'ery.pleasant drive of about one hour. then epaired to the hospitable home of the hap iy groom. After this all was as quiet as is sual under such circumstances, until bout nine o'clock, when all at once the omparative quiet was suddenly broken by 4 , salute being fired about three hundred ards away, making a report like a six ounder, and in quick succession another, ad another, accompanied with a lively air rom the Shiloh colored band, headed and I aaneuvered by about two dozen of the best >eople of the neighborhood, about seventy ve rank and file, all well disciplined. and uch a display of honor to a bride and room is seldom if ever witnessed. It was ery much regretted by Mr. Keels and his aother, Mrs. Gamble, that they were not repared to tip the crowd, but not being ore-warned in a dream or otherwise, of uch an honorable display by their neigh- i iors, had to content themselves with the tope of doing better next time. Well, yes; ake it on the whole, it was a grand success. .his display' of music, parade, and firing alutes, was kept up from nine until twelve 'clock, when the crowd dispersed, and all ras again quiet. The seventeenth broke upon the happy cene with all the serenity of a moderately empered December day. Let me say just iere, that it was a day of good things, pre >ared and furnished by the skillful hands f the generous mother. The guests bega-i o gather about nine o'clock, and by twelve verything had a cheerful aspect. Music urd conversation was the order of the day. Lbout one o'clock dinner was served. The ble was decorated with evergreens, ar anged dkintily, as only the deft hands of he fair sex can devise. The bride's cake ras a marvel of beauty, with a double heart a raised work of snowy whiteness. To say be least, the table was loaded down with 11 the good things money could buy, or ur good soil and climate could produce. Lbout two o'clock your correspondent left I Dr home--a drive of twenty-five miles all lone. You need not ask if he had the lues. Last, but not leist, that is certainly a pod place for widowers, as three of them ave been married in less than that many 2iles of each other, and two out of the ree married young ladies. To show the i orreetness of this statement there is a plu ality of boys three to one. I am sorry to y, though, there is now only two young idies in that neighborhood. So you see it rill be wise to hurry up. Mr. Editor, did ou say hurry up? Well, I am going back, d don't you forget it. W. H. C. Re Was Sorry There is a negro man at City Point, rrites a correspondent of Forrest and stream, so old that no body knows i tow old he is-one of those old :ocked-kneed negroes about 100 rears old, all twisted and doubled up vith rheumatism, who walks or rawls about with the assistance of wo canes, and is known as Uncle Joe. )ne day the old fellow was slowly naking his way through the village treet, when along came a white man, Svery well known character in that own, "half seas over." He was pret-. y nearly as "full as a goat," and he tappened to have his rifle with him, ad a crack shot he is, wvhetherdrunk >r sober. As soon as he saw Uncle roe seated on a stump he sung out: "I say, Uncle Joe, let me put a po ato on top of your head and shoot it i. I willigive you fiity cents if -I >urst the potato, or a dollar if I kill The old negro looked up and re >lied: "Do you say, boss, you will give me fty cents if yout bust the potato, or a Lollar if ye kill me? "Yes," was the reply. "Well, den go ahead, boss," said he old man., The potato was placed on the top if the ol~d nego's he ad, and the vhite man staggered off about thirty aces and drew a bead. The smoke and fire shot from the rifle and the po ato spun high in the air. "Well, I'll be shoved!" said Jim, "I Lid do it, or I'm a sojer!"' He staggered up to Uncle Joe, umbled round in two or three of his >ockets, fished out a half dollar, and tanded it to him. The old man seemed very much urprised. It was a long time since ie had seen so much money. He ooked at it loungly, bit it, turned it ver, looked up to Jim, 'and said: Well boss, I'se sorry I did not git le dollar." POWDER Absolutely PURe.
