Large stock Lanterns, Tobacco Knives and Thermometers, at J. F. Edwards'. A Set of Impudent Thieves. Every farmer curing tobacco should be on the look out for thieves and mind how they leave their houses unprotected. A bold set of thieves broke into the resi dence of Mr. B. D.. Howard, near Har grove, and stole two truuks and a gun, be sides other small articles. These thieves were impudent in the extreme as shown by a note they- left behind, stating that if they were pursued somebody would be killed. It further stated that they had guards at all the gates and bad better be particular how they moved about or some one would get hurt. About one o'clock in the morning Mr. Howard's son went to the house after something and made the discovery of the thieves and found the note in one of the rooms. The only' pesons in the house at the time were the three daughters of Mr. Howard, all the male members of the family being at the barns curing tobacco. We advise our farmers not. to leave their homes unprotected and at the mercy of thieve, as no doubt this is a band going through the country on a regular stealing tour. We hope our good farmers will at once take steps to rid the county of such a bold set of thieves. Be prompt so they' can be inmates of hotel de Rogers.
