PRECOCIOUS HORSE THIEF. - Johnny Dingle, Nine Years Old, Steals a Horse and Dog Cart From Rich? ard Gavie. j Johnny Dingle?, a negro boy only nine yours old and small for his age, made his debut Saturday afternoon as a horse thief. He found the horse and dog cart belonging to Richard Gayle in a back lot and taking pos? session of it made for the country. On the way out he met a negro man go? ing his way so he took him up for a ride. He asked the man if he did not want a boy to work for him, and told him he was looking for a place to stay. He said that his father, who was dead, had left him the horse and cart, and he wanted to find somebody .to take care of him and his horse. This man suspected that the boy was lying, so he took him home with him, kept him all night and Sunday morn j ing brought him back to town and turned him and the horse and cart over to the police. Gayle had noti? fied the police Sunday afternoon of the theft of his team, consequently there was no difficulty in restoring it to the owner. The juvenile thief was before Re? corder Hurst today but as Gayle de I dined to prosecute him he was turned j over to his grandmother and uncle I with whom he lives to be properly ! punished. He confessed to taking the horse and told a straight story, appar? ently not realizing the gravity of his I crime.

Will the city council ever j do any thing to abate the sign nuis ?ance? If the mayor and aldermen had occasion to traverse Main street during the storm of Monday, Sept. 17th, they must have observed how great a menace the suspended signs were to life and limb.

The chilly, damp weather we are experiencing these days is a gentle reminder of the near approach of fall, when we will be forced to lay aside our summer clothing and seek something more in keeping with the season. Our Clothing Department [ls one in which we take special interest, and our efforts to please have certainly been appreciated, as it has grown more in proportion than any branch of our business. Men's Clothing. Here we are showing a complete line in cassimers and wors? teds, fancy weaves, and plain effects, single and double breasted at $5 to $20. The man with only a $5 bill to invest will be agreeably sur? prised to find what a good suit we can sell him for that price. Our $10 Suits Have the snap and fit of a tailor-made garment, and wear equally as well. No better values can be had anywhere than we are offering at $12.50, $15, $18 and $20. A youth is the most difficult proposition to be contended with in the clothing business, but we believe that we have solv? ed the problem, and our stock offers an easy means, of selec? tion by him. His taste and pocket book can^easiby be accom? modated from / $4.00 to $15.00. The small boy receives most careful consideration in our se? lections. It is remarkable the quantity of boys7 clothing we sell. No lot is too big for us to buy, if the prices and style are right. Our line embraces everything from $1 to $6. We have some extra special values, the remnants of manu? facturers7 stocks that we closed out Worth $3 to $3,50 Thot we are selling At $1.50 There is nothing in the clothing line that cannot be obtain? ed here, and our prises are based upo a the same percentage of profit that prevails throughout our stores. This is probably the reason why we sell so much clothing. N. G. Osteen, Jr., Dentist, -18 West Liberty Street, Over Sumter Book Store. Hours : 8.30 to 1 : 2 io ?. OFFICE PHONE 30 1 3 )I7SS PHONE 382
