DEPORT,
Thieves Den Unearthed in Sul-
phur Bottoms.
What purports to be the cache
of a wholesale band of thieves
was accidentally unearthed a few
days ago by some boys while
hunting in Sulphur bottoms.
On chasing a rabbit into a
crevice an entrance to a cave,
which was almost entirely hid-
den by cane and shrubbery, was
discovered, and through curiosi-
ty the boys entered. On making
a light they found to their sur-
prise the cave equipped in com-
fortable living order and a sup-
ply of groceries, shoes, d ry goods,
hats and clothing, sufficient to
stock a good size store. On re-
porting the matter the cave was
later on visited by officers and a
careful examination of its con-
tents made.
It seems that the robbers had
hidden every trace of their identi-
ty with one exception which may
lead to their discovery. Among
the many articles found were sev-
eral suits of clothes made from
the famous H. M. Marks & Com-
pany line, ordered at the City
Tailor Shop and picked from the
500 snappy Fall and Winter sam-
ples they are now showing. The
cave is being watched.

has been hinted that the distill-
ery was in operation and a pho-
tographer, with the object of gety
ting a clue sufficient to convict
the operators, watched his op-
portunity and got a snaphot of

The photograph was turned over
to the Federal authorities at

the scene of operation Saturday
last and seized the outfit but

Announcement made by the
bankers of Paris that they would
lend money on cotton at fi per
cent., if the cotton is warehous-
ed in the way provided by law,
is followed today by the adver-
tisement of the Paris Warehouse
company that it is prepared to
care for at least ten thousand
bales. In other words, Lamar
County farmers are no longer
under compulsion to sell their
cotton at whatever price the
buyer may be able and willing
to offer. They can put it iu the
warehouse, take the receipt to
the bank, and on a "aluation of
eight cents per pound can get
$30 dollars a bale at six per
cent., or $1.80 per year.—Sun-
day’s Paris News.

Observer Robert Miller has
reported to the weather bureau
at Washington a rainfall of 9.11
for August. This is several
inches less than August of last
year, but the total for eight
months of this year lacks only
four inches of the total for
twelve months last year. The
fall last year was a record
breaker and with only four inch-
es lacking and four months yet
for it to come, it looks as if this
year would make a new record.
