The home OF Charles Smith, iani.
tor of school building 4. on Twenty
fourth street and Eighth avenue, was
visited by burglars last evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith and daughter
went calling about o'clock. They
returned at 9 o'clock and found that
the house had been ransacked during
their absence. A cellar window had
been pried. and the same tactics
we're employed in opening the door
leading from the basement. Only
two breastpins belonging to Mrs.
Smith were taken. There was quite
sum of money in the house. The
intruders would in all probability
have run across this but for early in
reference. as it is thought they were
in the house when the family ar.
rived home, and escaped through the
rear door.

ed for any season, but perhaps more
generally when the languid ex.
hansted feeling prevails. when the
liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need OF tonic and alternative is felt.
A prompt use OF this medicine has
often averted long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act
more surely in counteracting and
freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, indigestion, con-

Did You Hear Them.

The Waynesboro Tribune in q
belabored effort to please its lord,
takes us to task over the following:
I'VE wonder if attorney general
Boyd knows that much of the
blame for Hardin county's indebt.
edness is attributed to his court.
1t is said that he and Judge Patter-
son are expensive in their manner
OF doing business.
To which it says.
No. We do not presume Attor.
ney General Boyd or any one else
is aware of such q state of facts.
Now Mr.. Tribune you must be
dull of comprehension, in the face
of two reports published in the
COURIER since the first of January
one by the retiring and one by the
present chairman of the county
court, each showing by items
where our county expenses are.
Please see these to reconcile
your feelings toward our veracity.
And then as you say:
That o large portion of the nee.
essary expenses of that court is
paid by the State.
1t goes for us at length because
we were for appropriating $780,,
900, by the state to the Centennial
we were for it, not withstanding a
little insignificant indebtedness OF
our county, and for your informa.
ton we will say our biggest tax.
payers were for county appopria.
ton. To being dubbed a two.
PACED issue, we will say that the
Courier has stood before the PEG.
pie of Hardin county since 1885
and at all times merited their con
fidence and support. 1t is owned
and operated byits editors and moi
by hirelings nor share troopers.
This Beacon Light, seems to
think that the people of Hardin
county need educating, forgetting
that at this time and hitherto, s he
has furnished Wayne her best
teachers. 'The proverbial jewel
consistency" We are admirers @.
both Judge Patterson and attor
ey General Boyd and have never
in our lives let an opportunity pass
us that we did not do them a favor
but we stand upon tho pillows Of
truth and speak them when it i,
necessary, We in what we have
said, did not censure them, bu
simply spoke the facts as they
were placed before our people.
