Does Baby
7 hrive?

If your baby is delicate
and sickly and its food does
not nourish it, put fifteen
or twenty drops of SCOTS
Emulsion in its bottle three
Or four times a day and you
will see a marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
on this emulsion when other
food fails to nourish them.
1t is the same with larger
children that are delicate.
Scott's Emulsion seems to be
the element lacking in their
food. Do not fail to try it if
your children do not thrive.
1t is as useful for them in
summer as in winter.
Ask yoar doctor if this is not true.

from Shawboro to the effect that
four suspicious characters, with
a lot of merchandise were at

of Sawyer & Jones statesmen,
and Mr.. J. B. Ferebee, boarded
the morning train for Shawboro

thieves and the goods stolen.
They were brought here at noon,

Jones, aged IS years and Frank
Williams, Is years of age. They
claim they are all from different
States, but met at Norfolk,
where they organized for the
purpose of robbery.
John jones says he came here
last week with another negro
and the two robbed Sawyer &
Jones store. They returned to
Norfolk, told their comrades of
their work and planned a second
trip which they made last night,
leaving one of the band in Nor
folk,-the one who first came
