MEATHERLY.

Burglars entered the store of j. w.
Hunter, at this place, on Monday night,
blew open his safe, and secured about
fifty dollars in money. By means of a
bar OF lever they effected an entrance
by forcing open the front door. The
force of the concussion as they blew
the safe open awakened some of the
neighboring people, but as there are
engines sometimes in the yard at that
time of night. they naturally attributed
the concussion to the humping of cars
and paid no further attention to it,
The robbery was undoubtedly done by
professional burglars who came here
from some other town, and who left
this place after they had committed
the theft. The authorities here have
no clue that will aid them for the arrest
and conviction Of these criminals.

What is ScrofuIa

tits that impurity in the blood which, accumu'
lating in the glands of the neck, produces un'
slightly Jumps or swellingsi which causes painful
running sores on the arms, legs or feet; which
developes ulcers in the eyes, ears, nose, often
causing blindness or deafness; which is the origin
of pimples, cancerous growths, or many other
manifestations usually ascribed to humors."
It is a more formidable enemy than consumption
or cancer alone, for scrofula combines the worst
possible features of both Being the most ancient,
it is the most general of all diseases or affections
for very few persons are entirely free from it.
How can it be cured? BY taking Hoods sarsa
parilla, which, by the cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar medicine
for this disease. For all affections Of the blood
Hoods sarsaparilla is unequalled, and some of the
cures 1t has effected are really wonderful If you
suffer from scrofula in any of its various forms,
be sure to give Hoods sarsaparilla trial

HE proceedings of the co,

The proceedings Of the county COM
missioners should be given the widest
circulation possible. It is a class of
news that the taxpayers are greatly in
terested in. The law as it now stands
provides for the publication of the pro-
ceedings in three papers in each county
the total expense of the three to equal
only the regular legal rate for one publ
cation of other matter. The present law
was adopted by the state editorial asso-
citation and is satisfactory to the people.
The amount paid affords no profit to the
publishers, but barely pays the expense
OF composition. If it is desired that the
acts of county boards shall not be known
except by a few, then the amendment
proposed is all right; but if the farmers
and taxpayers generally want to know
what the county commissioners are do
ing with the money they pay, then the
present law should stand as it is.
