Times more than ever impresses upon
its readers the excellence Of It's high

is a newspaper, sparing no pains nor

its columns are filed with wholesome
instruction and entertainment. Wher-

the best type OF concise, crisp and

which comparisons of excellence are
made. While The Times is Republic

The Times is three dollars year or

D. k. REEDS STORE BuRGALRIzED
The Thieves did a nice job Of it and
Secured Good Money.

d. X. Reed & Co.'S hardware store.
within stones throw OF police head
quarters, was bnrglarized Friday night
and the robbers got a big haul. En-
trance was made through the rear
door, where there is narrow. dark
alley leading in from Court street. An
upper panel ofthe door was split and
4 a piece taken out. Then large square
was broken outof the door, and then
the large KEY the lock inside was
easy to turn. The daring gang turned
that key, walked right in and behind
closed blinds began their explorations
for money. They chiseled out mar
row strip between two drawers in the
desk, ransacked the books and pocket
books inside and secured all the money
there. Then they entered the regular
cash drawer, got money out of it and
also key with which they opened
another drawer, where they found
little more money. -Four drawers in
all were entered. Upon examination
of his books, Mr.. Reed ascertained
that S44. 10 had been secured by the
thieves. AS an evidence that they
knew what they were about, an old
fifty cent piece of paper money. easy
to identify, was left undisturbed in
one of the big pocket books. Evident
ly, it took considerable time to do the
lob and they seemed to be after money
only, as nothing else was disturbed.
While they did a neat job of it, yet
they did not take the time to arrange
things as they found them but left
books and papers topsy turvy on top
of the Office desk.
Mr.. Reed has good, strong suspicious
and the police have theirs, and will
inaugurate a hunt likely oresult in
running the robbers down. There is
a big surprise in store. and not so big
after all, as every body is confident as
to who the members of this gang are
and they will be caught shortly.

Better La!e Than Never.


OF the Parkerburg Baptist church
trouble, the Sentinel of that city,
says:
..During the meeting at the Baptist
church on Friday night Rev. Retain,
the pastor, referring to the recent
church trouble said that he had made
mistake and acted hastily for which
he was exceedingly sorry, and that he
would do all in his power to rectify
any wrong that might have occurred
through him. The statement occas-
stoned considerable surprise"
The outraged divine should have
recalled Davy Crockett's motto, "Be
sure you are right, =" before he bounced
three loyal bretlern in such hot haste.
