50 ESTABLISHED 1837. STOLEN GOODS FOUND At Residence of H. A. Reeves, When Search is Made by Marshal McCormick The residence of H. A.

Reeves, on Mechanicsburg, was searched last week by Marshal McCormick and large quantities of stolen goods found. Two searches were made, one on Thursday and one Saturday, and a sewing macuine of Selman Mackey's, sacks of flour from C. C. Walker's mill, harness of McAdow Robinson and tools of T. H.

Hurley, found. Reeves was tried Tuesday before Justice of the Peace J. W. Klise on charges preferred by C. C.

Walker and McAdow Robinson. The Walker charge was for petit larceny and the Robinson charge for burglary. He waived examination to the charges and was bound over to the grand jury on both of them. Bond was fixed at $100 on the larceny charge and $200 on burglary charge. J.

W. Watts went on his bond on both charges. Marshal McCormick said that when he searched Reeves' house he found a large number of articles in addition to the ones identified by the parties; enough to make several wagon loads. It is believed that Reeves is the man who has been doing most of the petty thieving that has been going on here for the past year. Marshal McCormick received the information which led to the searches from Albert Green when he took him to the workhouse recently.

The marshal is of the opinion that if he had had a list and description of the art cles that people had had stolen in the past year, that most of them could have been identified among the large quantity of things at Reeves' home. Reeves runs a blacksmith shop on W. Main street. He is a white man who married a negro. Jim And The Singer.

Milwaukee Sentinel, Sept. 6-Sue Richards, a St. Louis musical student, takes charge of a Stock Farm left her by 1 her father. Jim Decker, a childhood friend, happens along and Sue gives him work. Sue's farm is not a success on account of continual theft of horses.

Accidentally Jim discovers that Jackson, Sue's foreman, is the thief but before Jim can get the necessary proofs to convict him, Jackson, by a cunning scheme, compels Jim to go away leaving him, Jackson, free in his endeavor to marry Miss Sue for her property. Of course all ends well with Jim winning Miss Sue, but the strong climaxes, good comedy and splendid work of Mr. Villair as the cool, witty Jim, the fine Sue of Miss Codair, with her excellent singing and impersonations, the good Jackson of Mr. Sylvester, the capable supporting company, make this comedy play an excellent evening's entertainment. This guaranteed attraction appears at Bell's Opera House, Wednesday, March 15.

Rogers Remarkable Meetings. Rev. D. S. Ferguson, of Troy, formerly of this county, has just concluded a remarkably successful series of evangelistic meetings at Casstown.

Forty people were converted during the meetings, thirty of whom were over 20 years of age and twenty were men the heads of families. One evening a whole family of prominent people were at the altar at the same time, the father, mother and four grown children. At the close of the meetings a reception was given for the new members at which Rev. Ferguson was presented with a 500 mileage book and purse of consderable size. The following account of the meeting, while it was in progress, is from one of the Troy papers: The most remarkable revival in the history of the Casstown Methodist church is still in progress and this is the fifth week for the services.

The interest is so tremendous that neither the pastor, Rev. D. S. Ferguson, nor the members are willing to close the meeting. At each service the church is crowded and deep conviction has taken hold upon the people of the entire community, the altar being crowded nightly.

From three to a half dozen conversions are reported at each service and thus far from 18 to 20 have been added to the church. One of the remarkable features of the revival is the number of adult people, who have been reached and saved. Nearly all of the conversions are those, who are between 30 and 45 years of age and still the great work goes on. Rev. Ferguson has had no assistance thus far, having preached all of the sermons, except one, but he is still as full of power and the spirit as when the meetings commenced and the people are standing nobly with him in the work.

Mrs. Sylvester Puckett, aged 65 years, died at her home in Lynchburg Tuesday morning from pneumonia. The funeral services were held at the Christian Church at Lynchburg Wednesday afternoon.

The way Stabler's have their wallpaper on display, is certainly the best we have seen. Fifty or more people can examine their entire sample dieplay at one time. Then every sample is marked in plain figures, so that you can tell at a glance just what the paper you select will cost you. It will pay you to see their display, even it you do not wish to buy. "Splendid" is what everyone is bound to say of "Il Trovatore." The story is well known, exciting, thrilling and very interesting.

Stage settings and scenes will amaze, they are marvelous. Miss Hall will render "Verdis" well known music during each performance. Two nights and one matinee only. Monday and Tuesday nights and Tuesday afternoon, March 13 and 14. Matinee at 2 p.
