By D. R. LEE
On tbo morning of Friday lh« 13.
day of January there were two young
man found in tha town of Dunn try
ing to dispose of a one-hone wagon
load of cotton seed; tha scad being
the property of a farmer of the
Shady Grove recticn of 8arapnon
county. These young fellows wars
apprehended and haled before a Jus
tice of the Peace. Beaide* being
