Last Tuesday night some hungry thieves made a raid upon the store of our friend Jerome HILL, Esq., and helped themselves to as much bacon as they wanted. Of late, there has been too much of this kind of business practiced in Bolivar, and without some of the rogues are made an example of we may expect to hear of more of their depredations. Keep on the look-out for them.
Since the above was put in type, Calvin BRIGHT, colored, has been arrested as the one who committed the robbery, and was being tried before a committing court when we closed our forms yesterday evening. Calvin is running a streight-out ticket for the position of convict in the State penitentiary.

I’m trying to determine if its a pproblem onn my end or if it’s the blog.
Any feed-back would be greatly appreciated.
I gather this is regarding the link to the original scanned image on the Library Congress website? No one has reported any issue with it so far. Here is the link to their site: http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85033306/
