The Stolen Wagon

On the 19th inst. a wagon was stolen from Boyd's warehouse belonging to
Pate Horton, a farmer who lives in Pike county and in its place an old
rickety affair was left. Mr. Horton, of course, was very much incensed
at this and took every possible means to discover who had made the
mistake. After considerable trouble he found out that a party living
between Zebulon and Meansville had made the exchange and he went at once
to see him and asked that the mistake be rectified. This the party said
he would do, and was profuse in his expressions of regret that it should
have happened and promised that the wagon should be returned yesterday
but Mr. Horton, who spent the day in the city failed to see his vehicle
and will have to make the second trip for it. - Griffin Morning Call
