Those who handle beans tell us
that it is very important that
the old and new crops should
not be mixed.
We are also told that more fav
orable freight rates are now in
effect than formerly. Producers
might find it to their advantage
to inform themselves as to these
rates.
There is some talk of trying to
get one person to handle all the
shipments of produce from this
point. This looks like a good idea-

Special Correspondence.
Last Wednesday evening
some Mexicans came to tne
mill and on their way back
began helping themselves to
windows and other things
from the houses along the
road. They were captured
about 9 o'clock that night as
they were going in with their
load. They were taken be
fore Justice Woodall. The
women laid it onto the man,
who was fined $20 and costs,
which amounted to $9. That
was for the windows only.
The next day Geo. Torrance,
W. W. Wagner, J. A. Biitton
and Isaiah Guttierez, Deputy
Sheriff of Chilili, searched
their house in Chilili and
found a great many things in
cluding mattresses, hand saws
planes, hammers, and dishes.
W. W. Wagner found bis
daughters picture, also a good
many of his son s dishes and a
grain sacK witn nis name on
it. Anyone having lost any
thing might do well to call on
the above men and find out
what they found iu regard to
their belongings.
These people were caught in
the act and with the goods on
them, and if there is nothing
more than a fine, where is our
protection? Is there any jus
tice in this, especially where
the parties were seen in the
act and caught with the goods.
