A WORD OF WARNING.

The neighborhood of Sharon, about seven miles southeast of town, has been having its share of midnight prowlers. Complaint is made on all sides of corn cribs and chicken coops visited. One farmer had corn sacked ready for town, and sacks and all was taken. Another had seed corn taken. One lady had fulLblood Plymouth Rock roosters taken from the coop. Now, work is not so scarce in this neighborhood for the ma -. willing to apply his energies in that direction, and for some big lazy lubber to go sneaking about taking his living from his more industrious neighbors, is not going to be tolerated in this neighborhood much longer. ;■ So, for the benefit of those suspected, we hereby advise you to keep your fingers off other people’s property arid use your dark lanterns to go to bed by, as there will surely be “something doing” if this is kept up.—Voices From the Neighbors.
