Bad Boys.

Some boys gained an entrance into
the ware room of Walter Spry's store
Saturday night and carried of lot Of
cigars, tobacco and peanuts. They tried
to get into the store room but failed.
Mr.. Spry has clue of the guilty boys
and will likely make them suffer for the
robbery. There are few boys in this
town that are developing into tough"
characters and unless they are checked
while in tender years will turn out to be
criminals of the deepest dye. Their
bad deeds should not be covered up too
often on account of the parents, for
sooner or later such chaps are bound to
disgrace their parents and every step
down will only add fuel to the flame which
will burst forth with more fury upon
the parents when 1t does come.
