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.

Tiie little sufferer has found surcease
from pain. 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. But let us u\l' co,n>jlp uqraelves
with the b!ps???(| ly^ufttnc-e, with
not a shadow of a doubt, that those little
lambs are renting sweetly resting in the
aups ut .Jesus, and that wo know that
we have a representative in heaven to
intercede with the Fallur in our behalf.
It is consoling to think |?ei>taps these
little ones, whQ h-tve guuo on lieforc
