should be consigned to the coal mines

He is fellow who robbed church
and, no doubt. stole money from little
orphans as we'll
Both offences, or rather, crimes,
were committed about the same time
and, perhaps, by the same party, as it
is hardly possible that two such mis-
creants could ever live here.
The first crime committed was the
theft of the cash box belonging to Fur
low Lawn Baptist church. The box
was in custody of Mr.. George Seig, Jr.
treasurer of the church, and was kept
in drawer at his store. The box was
securely locked and contained consid-
cradle sum in cash, checks and collec
| ton tickets.
Mr.. Seig has no idea who got the box,
or just when 1t was taken, 1t had been
kept in the drawer for long time, an6
someone acquainted with the fact pro
badly swiped it.
The police have found no clue to
this mean church robbery.
The other theft reported was that Of
a glass contribution box from the coun
ter of one of the drugstores here. The
box belonged to one of the state or
phans homes and contained q consider
able sum of money. The thief carried
it away, smashed the glass, no doubt
and stole the money belonging to thu
little orphans.
If this rascal is ever caught, which il
not at all likely, the direst punishmen
should be given him and in allopathit
doses.
