Messenger and $6,000 Gone.

Thursday afternoon Robert Shamblln, a runner employed by the People’s bank, left the bank to take a package containing $6,000 to the local express office to be shipped to a Mississippi bank and has since been missing. He did not appear when the bank opened Friday morning, but not until Friday night was it discovered that he left town early in the morning on the train for New Orleans. The police have been notified along his possible route. Shamblin is 22 years of age, and had been in the bank’s employ several years.
