Ed Sanders and Joseph Haden were arrested Monday and placed in jail for stealing a bale of cotton off the weigher's platI form at the depot.

Accordingly an unmarked bale was set aside and an opportunity awaited to get it marketed. He tried one or two parties, but they would have nothing to do with it, j unnKing perilaps there was something wrong. Hut Monday while Mr. J. II.
