took pocket-book containing three OF
four dollars. They also gathered up what
silver ware there was in the dining room
valued in all about 800, put it all together
in sack and left it near the sidewalk in
front Of the premises. The empty pocket
book was found in the yard and several
coats belonging to the male members OF
the family were scattered about the back
porch. 1t seems that the burglars changed

would lead to their capture.
Last night the lawn sociable took place
at the residence Of Captain G.. d. William
son, on Washington avenue, below Seventh

beds OF flowers and shrubs, or gathering in
the brilliantly lighted parlors or on the
porch enjoying themselves in various ways.

refreshments were important features OF the

BULLETIN, struck responsive chord in the
minds of number Of our good citizens
who delight in identifying their homes
with flowers of their own raising. IN con
versation with The BULLETIN man yester-
day, they corroborated all that "Old Fogy"
had said relating experiences
fully an aggravating as any
told in the communication, and

provoking than most people, who are not
victims OF il because their love of the beau.

floral growths about their premises, would
have thought.
