BURGLARS IN WHITE MASKS.
They Break Into the Store of Thomas
Tyson, Near Farview FARM
Dollars and Box of Pocket Knives

the Booty.
The bold, bad burglar is again
abroad in the land And this time he
wears the white mask the burglars in
the detective story always carries in
'front.' of his face.
Thomas Tyson has store in which
he keeps all kinds of general merchan-
disc. 1t is located just at the edge OF
"Fairview," Capt. B. p. Williamson.s
stock farm; and is also near DR.. X. IL.
Lewis's dairy farm. No other house
stands in the vicinity and it is rather
lonely all by itself.
The proprietor-lille all other mer-
chants in this Christian countrE-has
his store closed tight Sunday morn
ing and does not enter it again until
the light shines on a week day.
Sunday night the store was closed
tight and fast as usual. The doors are
strong, and offer sturdy resistance to
5he intruder. And, though the blinds
are plank, held in place by an iron bar,
they are the weakest points in the
building. So the burglars went to
work on window. They had brought
their kit of tools along, and with big
plank blind. The iron bar was wrench
ed from its fastenings. 1t was an easy
matter to smash the sash. And then
they had the store before them.
The money drawer seems to have
been the first point of interest they
visited. They got a cold frost there
for the drawer contained only a dollar
| and sixty cents. But they were out
not only for the dust, but for "any
old thing that came in their path.
They went To the cutlery showcase
and stole a box of HALVES. About thai
| time several travellers went by the
store.
The burglars were scared; they
| jumped from the window and went
down the road at a race-hOrse gait.
Those who saw them could not, il
| the uncertain moonlight, tell whethel
| they were white or negroes. For eacl
one wore over his face white cl0tl
mask

greatly damaged. The water is over
most of the corn, and it is impossible
to estimate the great loss the State

rise few more feet, it will break over
the bikes.
