Watch Union. A Thief and Forger, A negro named William Gregory has b mmi playing a high hand at Lockhart. The company store at that plice use coupon l>ooks with live dollars worth of coui>ons in each bx>k. This negroGregory concluded that he saw an easy way to obtain all the goods he wanted by simply appropiating the coupon Ixroks. This he began to do about the lirst of March last. But linding that the coupons had not lieen signed by the book keei>er, Mr. C. C. Dargan^ he added to his crime by forging Mr. Dargan's name. The scheme worked successfully, and he kept it up until he dually got a little too bold, and sent in the book by another paitv to buy some goods with. This man handed the book m to one of of the book keepers to detach the coupons for his purchase. The book keeper at once discovered that the stub slip in the book, that is always iiled when the books are sold, was still in the book, lie then saw the name was forged, and he immediately had Gregory arrested. Gregory was carried before Magistiate Meng, who found him guilty and sentenced him to thirty days for petit larceny. The charge of forgery will also come against him in the higher courts When Gregory found that ho was in it, he acknowledged that lie had taken six of the books equivalent to S'Jd.OO, which he used. He said he took the books one at a time as he needed them He was tied and sent to Union Unlay, where lie will have time to medetate over the evils of his way on the chain gang.

His little soul has winged its flight heavenward and is now sweetly resting in its saviour's arras. Little Clark has been a terrible sufferer during the six weeks of his sickness, he ? as wholly unconscious during the hist live weeks illness. The sympathies of the whole town wero freely expressed, and everyone hoped that he would tin illy win the battle, anxious inquiries were daily heard on every side regarding his condition. But the battle was too hard, and notwithstanding the ceaseless vigil of loving parents aud devoted friends and every effoit of the attending physician, and a trained nurse to save the little one's life; it was with saddemd hearts that it was seen that the dear little life was gradually ebbing away. The heartbroken parents saw that their only child, around whom the love of their whole hearts were einw.ned, was to be t.keii away from them forever. It was heartrending to contemplate, and when the end cauie, and the little one censed to breathe, and the little soul h id left its mortal remnius. It seemed almost too much to be borne. The bereaved parents have the sympathy of all in this sad hour, and most especially of those wtio have hail their own heart strings torn by the loss o,C d\: ir little one.
