Two Burglaries at Rising Sun.

On Friday night, last week, the
warehouse of A. L. Duyckinck &
Co. was broken into, but the burg
lars met with poor luck. The safe
had card on the knob with direc-
lions for opening the combination,
with the assurance there was moth
ing but papers and books in the
safe. The direction card contained
a request not to injure the safe.
The safe was opened by following
directions and found barren of cash
as stated. A rolling covered desk
was also opened and the drawers
all ransacked but nothing worth
taking found, except Mr.. John
Sterrett's meerschaum pipe and
case, which they appropriated.
The next point of attack was the
Matchbox at the railroad crossing,
where Miles Brown keeps guard to
prevent passing trains and carriages
running into each other. The rob-
bers were more successful here and
secured a 5O-cent clock, silver
dime which was in an old pocket
book, pocket knife and the watch
mans Sunday shoes.
On the next night Saturday the
hardware store of Haines & Kirk
was broken into, through one of the
rear windows, and about $3.50
worth of pocket knives and razors
carried off by the the thieves.
There were in the same show case a
large assortment of valuable cary
ing sets and scissors which the
burglars examined but did not
take. The stock of cutlery stolen
had been recently received and was
placed in boxes in the show case so
as to make the best artistic display
possible, which appeared to have
captivated the burglars so much
that they desired nothing else in
the store. The goods were all taken
out of the boxes and put into a
waste paper basket, it is supposed,
as the basket is missing.
Messls. Haines & Kirk are mem
bers of the Rising Sun Detective
Association and the officers of the
Association Immediately went to
work on the case by sending out
parties in search of clues and infor-
nation that might lead to the de-
lection of the burglars and recovery
of the goods. The Association of
ters 500 reward for the apprehen,
sion and conviction of the burglars,
or $50 for the recovery of the goods
and $50 for the apprehension of the
burglars.
The robbers left no clue by which
they could be traced. A heavy
shower of rain fell in the latter part
of the night which would obliterate
any tracks the parties might have
made. These constitute the third
burglary that has been committed
in town within a very short time,
Mr.. Worthington's store having
been entered a few weeks ago and
Il quantity of clothing and several
pairs of shoes carried off. No trace
of the thieves up to the present
time has been discovered.

For TET TINES:

For lEE INES:
wanted to say q word about a meeting
l attended at Oak Grove church, three
miles from Manning on last Thursday ar
ternoon. I heard in the morning Of t1at
day that my lifelong friend, T. ". Hale,
was dead and would be buried there that
afternoon.
arrived on the ground little ahead of
the funeral procession aud there saw a
gathering from the different sections OF the
neighborhood the people and the people S
children with whom I used to worship in
former days 1t IS the only place I ever
attended Sunday School and it carried ne
back to the timeS before the war, when
every Sunday met my teacher, James G..
Strange, and received from him lessons
that shall never forget Friendly was q
schoolmate of mine We were born the
same year in tie same nei9hborhood and
were raised up together and l have always
appreciated his friendship. He was good
soldier in the late war; did his duty faith
fully as soldier and received the ''Weli
done" from those who were with him. Af-
ter the war be gave his heart to the Lord
Jesus Christ and has been a consistent
member Of the Methodist Church since
that time.
One by one our Comrades are passin
over the river and trust that Friendly Is
there resting under the shade Of the trees
awaiting our arrival, and trust that GOD
may give us grace that we, too, may be
ready when ths cali comes.
Two dear little infants were buried there
the same hour, grandchildren Of my friend,
Il. F. Ridgeway, and my own brother, W.

them not, for of such is the kingdom Of
