vertisements of Ely's Cream Balm, q
remedy for Catarrh, Cold in the Head,

pleasure that we can call the particu-

that this article stands very high among
remedies, and particularly high as a
catarrh medicine. Ely Brothers, we are
informed, have had long experience as
druggists and pharmacists, and a rem.

have the confidence of those desiring a
reliable preparation. One fact that
should inspire confidence in their ca.

inauguration of a new social club in
Jonesboro. Invitations had been quietly
extended to a few outside of the regu-

jolly crew. The hour was the sensible

in an appearance.
The Master of ceremonies announced
the order of procedure, and made
known to each one present that the
evening would be given up entirely to
mirth and such innocent pastime az
those present should deem best for the
ell entertainment of all. And surely no
more pleasant and social occasion has
ever occurred in Jonesboro.
AFTER an hour spent in general and
highly profitable conversation, refresh.
ments were announced, and the mem.
oers and their guests seated themselves
at the table, which was we'll supplied
with the best the county affords, after
the markets shut up. The following
sumptuous bill of fare was discussed in
a satisfactory manner:

Last Wednesday night, after Mr.. and
Mrs. A. G. Britton had gotten their
newly fitted up home nearly ready for
occupancy, their house was entered
and several pieces of silverware taken
from their dining table. On Thursday
morning when Mrs. Britton went I'D
to complete some work before they
entered fully upon the occupancy of
their new home, she was horror stricken
upon discovering that her house had
been burglarized. Pretty soon Mr..
Britton came up and a clue was imme-
diately discovered. The marshal was
at once summoned and a search was
instituted for the stolen silverware,
which was soon found in possession of
Mr.. and Mrs. S. H. L. Cooper. the near
est neighbors of Mr.. and Mrs. Britton.
Misses Lula Smith and Lillian Dosser
were accessories to the crime, which
proved to be the greatest joke of the
