The Weekly Advertiser July 24, 1877
Delta News 
A light bay horse, with black mane and tail, one hind foot white, blind in his 
right eye, large pony size, about ten-year-olds, was stolen from Mr. Jas. M. 
Hardy of Delta Clay last Monday night. A reward for $125 is offered for the 
horse and thief, or $25 for the horse and $100 for the thief.

The mill of Mr. Henry Armstrong near the line between Cleburne and Clay was 
burned last Friday night Everything, including threshing machinery and a gin was 
destroyed, except patent water wheel. The building was substantial and 
commodious for a merchant mill. It was just being put in order for grinding 
wheat. It was located within two or three miles of Kennedy's mill which was 
burned the week before. It is the general opinion now that both mills were fire 
by incendiaries. The report that Blake's mill in Cleburne County was burned last 
week, turns out to be false.
