“THE SHIFLETTS GONE”


“We learn from the Lewisburg Chronicle, that the Shiflett family, for the removal of whom a vigilance commitee had been organized, were escorted to the county line week before last, and started for, as they said, the county of Albemarle. They are notorious rogues and dry-land pirates, and will not, we imagine, be a very valuable acquisition to Albemarle.”
