About 1 o'clock yesterday morning Of
fcer Ballard in making his rounds found
the front door Of Dunn Bros grocery
72s North Main street, standing slightly
aiar. He sent for one of the propretors
who came down and made an examina-
ton, but found all as usual. except some
of the stock in the front Of the store room
moved about.
The store was locked up and bolted
when left uhe evening before, the front
door being especially made secure as is
usual. The officer in his rounds found the
door thus fastened at 8 O'Clock In the
evening, but between y and 1, upon
again going the rounds, he found the
door standing partly open. After MAX
ing a hurried investigation he sent for
one Of the Messrs. Dunn, who looked the
place over, relocked it and returned
home
Yesterday morning an investigation
was made as thoroughly as possible to
ascertain what had been taken. After
quite thorough search, nothing seemed
other goods in the front of the store had
been moved about, and the door unlock
ed from the inside. AS no other door or
window had been disturbed, Mr.. Dunn
thinks that the person who did the act
had come into the store early in the even
ing and hidden away among the boxes in
the rear Of the store until after it was
locked up, and then slipped out and
made everything ready for operations.
Indications go 10 show that the burglar
was waiting until the lights went out 10
begin work. Boxes and barrels were
moved about in the front of the store so
as to be readily removed when the time
came. To have quietly driven a wagon
up before the door and loaded into it
barrels and boes TO the amount of several
dollars worth would have been but a
very short job. But the timely arrival
Of the officer prevented this effectually.
and nothing was taken. Mr.. Dunn says
however, that several boxes of goods
among the stock might have been taken
without their finding it out, but nothing
has been missed so far.

A Peryerse eenerntlon,

The father of a family nudged the
old bachelor who stood beside him on
the car platform. The old bachelor
knew what it meant. The father of a
family was about to revert to the
dreary old subject-his children.
II wonder" he said, why the boys
of the present generation are so much
more perverse than the boys were when
1 was young? If / remember rightly,
1 usually did what my parents wanted
me to do. What are you smiling
about? What makes you think /
didn't? You didn't say so? or course
you didn't says SO, but your smile did.
Well, boys are very different now,
aren't they? Yes; they are. or course
they are. What do you know about 1t?
That's all right. You needn't shake
your head There's nothing in It..
Well, my youngest boy wouldn't re-
spond to the breakfast bell few morn
ings ago. / went upstairs and told him
to get up Immediately. He's 10 years
old and he defied me. He said he
WOulun get up, IL was SATURDAY mOTu-
ing and no school and he was going to
stay in bed as long as he wanted to.
How was that for the spirit of re?
But I settled him. All right says 1,
you stay right here in bed until your
mother tells you that you can get up,
but don't get up until she does Say,
you should have seen him jumpi He
was into his clothes in no time and at

TOO MUCH WORK
For Healthy Existence.-That's
Why the Kidneys so often Fail.

Nature has provided certain amount
of work for every organ OF the human
body; overtax them and disease eventu-
ally follows. There is not one por-
ton of our organism that is so overworked
as the kidneys; on them is placed the i'm
portant function of filtering the blood of
the impurities which naturally form in the
regular action of life and digestion. The
kidneys are consequently termed the sew
craze of the system; clog up this sewer,
and the blood becomes tainted with poison
Gus uric acid, which brings on disease
in many forms. The back Is the first to
show this stoppage. From there comes
the warning note; it should be needed,
and the kidneys receive prompt attention.
Doan's Kidney Pills will right the action
of the kidneys quickly, relieve the back OF
pains and aches, and cure all troubles OF
kidneys and bladder Read the following:

The Lowest Rates Ever Made to nm
Exposition In This Country.

The Exposition in commemoration of the
hundredth anniversary of the admission of
Tennessee into the Union is not a local af-
fair by any means. 1t far surpasses in
extent of buildings, beauty of grounds, in
teresting exhibits and number of both
foreign and home attractions any exhibit
ton ever held in this country, with the
possible exception of the Columbian of
1893. Located as it is on the main line of
Louisville 81 Nashville Railroad it is the
direct line of travel between the North and
South, and can be visited en- route with
loss of but little time. Tho extremely low
rates that have been established make it

Orchard Planting in South Africa
A well-known Cape Colony nurseryman
has recently written letter relating
to the subject of colonial fruit culture
i'e states, says the Fruit Grower, Fruit
erer, Florist, and Market Gardener
Q.ondon), that in the season of 1894 no
sold 1000 young trees; in 1895, $4,000.
and in 1896, 10000. He expects to dis
pose of quite 100000 during the next
season and will have nearly half a
million for sale the season after. No
less than $4,000 trees were bought by
bona fide Afrikander orchardists, or
ders coming even from such distant
places as Blantyre, British Central Az
rica, and Bulawayo. Another nurseTy-
man sold 5000 young trees in 1894; A.
600 in 1895, and 1920 in 1896. It is es-
timated that fully 100000 young trees
were bought and planted by orchard
lists in South Africa during the last
three years.

First, we must know the type and
habits of the plant, its weak and OBJ

much study and practice, but we can
not safely proceed until this is firmly
fixed in our mind. We must be able to
detect the slightest change for the
better. We provide ourselves with a
number of stakes, numbered; go into
the field as soon as blossoms appear to-
look for this ideal plant. 1t must be
stocky, upright, bright, clean and
thrifty. Its fruit buds must be large,
