A Bad Beginning.
Walter Kirby, a negro youth, seven
teen years old, has started on the road
to the penitentiary eariy. For some
time the people of Limestone have
been annoyed by someone breaking
Into their houses while the inmates
were absent. Several depredations
of this character have taken place.
Last Saturday Mr. and Mrs. Claud
Burgess were away from home and
someone broke Into their bouse, steal
ing two finger rings, a ladies’ brace
let and a pocketbook. Mr. Burgess
was up town at the time. On his re
turn he discovered the loss. He
came up town and, accompanied by
Deputy Sheriff Henry Lockhart, re
turned to the house, put dogs on the
track, and soon Walter Kirby was in
toils. The goods were found on his
person. He was taken before Magis
trate Bridges yesterday morning and
granted a preliminary hearing, after
which he was bound over to court.

Contest to Be Continued.
When The Ledger inaugurated the
voting contest for the most popular R.
F. D. carrier In Cherokee county we
reserved the right to continue the
contest until October 1st. We did
not intend at that time to run the
contest longer than today, but Inter
est in the voting has not been as brisk
as we would have liked for It to be
nor as we had a right to expect it to
be. We have decided, however, to
continue the contest until October
1st. In the meantime we want the
friends of the various carriers to get
busy and enliven the contest by voting
early and often.
Let us use some of this to cover
you from the winter rain. . \
