From Sylvan Valley News, Brew rd, NC.
1t may be question whether the
editor of newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the vari-
Gus proprietary medicines which food
the market, yet as a preventative to
of suffering we feel it duty to say
good word for Chamberlains Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We
have known and used this medicine in
our family for twenty years and have
always found it reliable. In many
cases dose of this remedy would
save hours of suffering while a ply
sician is awaited. We do not believe
in depending implicitly on any medi-
cine for cure, but we do believe that
if bottle of Chamberlain's Diarrhoea
Remedy were kept on hand and ad-
ministered at the inception Of an at
tack much suffering might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence
of physician would not be re quired

On Wednesday Of last week the

slipped behind the counter and opened
the money drawer, taking 1925 in 25

two boys were looking at some toys.
The boy who took the money put fifty
cents Of 1t 10 his pocket. and placed
the balance under newspaper lying
on the counter. Then all three went
out on the street. Miss Campbell
notified the city marshal Of the theft
and hesoon had the boys apprehended.
The fifty cents was recovered, but the
remaining sl.75 could not be found.
Marshal Cox took the boys to the
calaboose, where he was searching
them when Miss Campbell sent word
that the rest Of the money had been
been found, aud that she would not
prosecute them. They were accord
