'Peeler" A Number of Shots Fired After Them.
"The\ re after me" quoth each of the .two men who rapidly measured land through the Llston Grove late Sunday night as they were followed by a rapid succession of shots from the young vest pocket edition cannon carried by Ed
Martin, the valliaut Goose Nibble '•peeler." The citizens in that neighborhood were awakened from their rest at the noise and an inquiry revealed the fact that a robbery had been committed and that the thieves were oeing hotly pursued, but they got away. The I trusty artillery of the Officer fell far short of its mark and the "Knights of tht' Jimmy" are now grazing in pastures new or perhaps are "winking the other eye" somewhere in the vicinity. Officer
Martin happened about the corner of College and Water streets at a late hour and noticed two men cross the street from All'rey's yard and enter that of Mrs. Voris. Here they were endeavoring to raise a window. i]e immediately I spread his ebon wings to scoup in the fcworthy night hawks, but they espied the same and skedaddled, with the oflicer a close second in the race. They ran on to the Eiston Grove and cut through it, followed by a number of wild shots, when they made good their escape. The policeman was unable to identify either man and even yet their identity is unknown. Karly Monday morning upon arising Dr. Irwin Detchon found that his home had been entered and that a gold watch, diamond shirt stud and a Docket booK were missing. Thieves had gaintd an entrance through a window some time during the night and the men pursued were the guilty parties. The description of the stolen property vvas given the police who are looking out for the men.
Some south end citizens reported that a stranger was trying to sell a gold watch in that neighborhood on Monday morning and also that he wore a diamond Bhirt stud. The news arrived too late for the officers to accomplish anything and consequently the man slipped away. Shouid this party have been the one wanted, he certainly had a good quantity of nerve to be making such an early display and he may be taken in unawareB if he continues his business. Some enterprising genius should invent an alarm that the citizeusof Crawforilfiville can wear in order to keep themselves from being stolen some cloudy evening. Who'll try it? That we have a bandit's cave hereabouts is now becoming plainly evident.
Mi. \utu\v Jones I'SIKM'N Away. On Sunday night at the family residence one mile north of Srnartsburg, Mrs'Nancy J. Jones departed this life at the advanced age of 71! years. Kev. J. L. Miller conducted tho funeral services at the home at lO.-.'lO Tuesday morning and the remains were brought to this City and laid to rest in the Masonic Cemetery. Mrs. Jones has been a resident of Smartsburg for a number of years and was pospesseil of many good qualities and while her face may soon be forgotten, her memory will live with us forever.

ROBBERS CAUGHT.
Thieves are Taken by Surprise While at Sleep and Landed in Jail Several Stolen Articles Recovered Officer Jack Banister Takes in Two
Well Known Persons on a Charge of Burglary and Finds Stolen Goods in Their Possession.
On Sunday afternoon, while J. L.
Goose Chase by the Goose Nibble Cochran, living on a farm eight miles
north of the city, was absent from his home, together with his famiiy, unknown persons gained an entrance to his houso and pillaged it in grand style. They secured two rings, two pairs of ear drops, some shirt studa, a revolver and the sum of Sl.tio which was in the little boy's bank and made their escape. Mr. Cochran returned home about ilusk and making the discovery he at onco n-jtilied members of the Horse Thief Detective Association who started in uearch of the intruders. Thoy came to this place and notified the police who joined them in the hunt. They kept the matter very mum and looked high and low for the men wanted. After &everal hours of steady search thev learned that two suspicious characters had engaged lodging for the night at tho Junction House and they proceeded straightway to that place. Having arrived thore Officer Bannister WUB informed that probaby the men he wanted were asleep in one of the rooms up stairs and in an instant ho was in the act of searching their clothes before they were disturbed from their peaceful slumbers. He found G"c. in money, the missing shirt studs and revolver. They were ordered to vacate their downy beds antl don their traveling suits and were escorted by their clever captor to the Davie' Inn where they were left to the tender care of the grand jury. Their! names were Ota Williams and Fred Greenwood and they were not altogetli er strangers in this city, but on the con trery had both held positions near by as farm hands. On the way to jail fine of the prisoners made a clean breast of the atTair and htated that tho rings had been thrown away on the road from
Linden and that the other articles which the police failed to recover were •hid about tho Junction end. The 111011 were more than taken by surprise at their arrest for they had scarcely settled down in dreams when the worthy "cop" informed them that their lodging had been engaged elsewheje and for a longer period than one night. It was just about 10 o'clock when they were brought in ind they had evidently retired in order to throw: the searchers, who might follow them, olT the track.
They have been known to the police for some time as crooked people and that their arrest has at last been effected is a most lucky happening. Their capture adds one more star to the crown of Patrolman Jack Bannister who certainly merits the same for his efficient and skillful work. Here's regards. Jack.

Hears the Address of Dr. Cunningham at the Methodist Church-The Day Spent in Social Pastime and Ease.
Crawfordsville assumed the appearauce of a quiet Sunday on last Thursday in observance of the Thanksgiving Proclamation issued by his Kxcellency, the President. Business generally was suspended, nearly all the merchants signing contracts to close up for the day, and tho same was followed out to ths letter. At 1U:M0, the hour set for devotional exercif-,es, a large audience had aseembled at the Methodist church to listen to the discourse by Dr. 1!. Cunningham, while between that hour and throeo'clock in the aft :rnoon. everything was most silent. Dr. Cunningham sermon was ono of the best ever listened to on such an occasion and ho held the large assembly in strict attention until the noon hour, when a living mass of people could bo seen headed in every direction, with but one thought in uiind. and that of the sumptuous repast which awaited them at their various destinations. Relatives had assembled with relatives, lovers with sweethearts and friends with friends, and all bent on making the day one of reat cheer aud sociability, which they unquestionably accomplished in every instance. The scent of thanksgiving dinners could bo plainly detected at Srnartsburg. Anil even the tho citizens of Uockvillo claim that they could smell escalloped oysters. Dressing, [lies, cakes and all tho delicacies of earth were ou hand upon each respective festal board and that which satieties the inmost man seemed to tako him temporarily from tho word of business and its cares. KvcryboiJv appeared to bo struck with the same reeling, and many unusual pleasant faces gave lustro to the solemn stillness of the outside world. Kins drowning tho extremity of it. Tho old lid dies were gotten down and tho keyboard of the organ was relieved of a few inches of dust in order to give due observance to tho evening's pastime. Family circles on all sides were swelled, not merely with returned sons and daughters, but with powerful dinners, and even yet, there soe-'is to be an unavoidable drag in all our dill'erent lines of business. But, laying all jokes aside, the day of thanks for 1894 was one of unusual merit and proportion. 1' roin national atlair^ flown to city government have we been exceedingly prosperous and have much to be thankful for- Some have experienced tho hardships of life while others havo'reaped a harvest of abundant success during tho year past, but taking all into consideration. our existence should be heartily appreciated, and all shoii.d olTer up silent prayers to a provident God for that which is.

A
ber oT families, comes to our oars, this week, from a well known drug linn of ourcity. The scheme is this: The druggists are supplied .vith sample bottles of different cough medicines, and they are continually pursued by small children in quest of the same. Perhaps thr^e or four children from a single family will make their wants known within a day's time. All they ask for is a sample bottle of cough medicine, and it makes no difference of what, manufacture it is or what ile, composition is. just so it iB cough medicine. In that way thev secure enough of tno stuff to last them through tho winter. Tho druggists aro gotting strictly on to tho same and will, after this, size each applicant up before giving.
