SMITHTON (FreedOm)
Considerable money and other property
has been stolen in this vicinity the past few
months, and although a sharp watch has
been kept up the thief has been sharp
enough to keep from being caught. L. A.
BOwler's store was entered recently while
he was at supper and about $45 taken En-
trance was gained by way of the cellar, a
window being broken. Frank Sanford's
house was entered when the family were
away and $50 taken. d. T. Dow's house
was entered and S. and some other things
taken. Ii. L. Sprowl's house was robbed
of $40 in money, besides shoes, stockings,
gloves, meal bags and other things. En-
trance was gained at this place by the use
Of false keys, in the day time, while the
family were at church. Mr. Sprowl had a
sheriff watching the house for two Sundays
while the family went away, but the thief
did not show up.

The following from a report made
by the State Board OF Health is in

made are worthy OF attention:
While the board is using and urg-

month than yellow fever has done in
all the years since Daniel Boone
made his first visit. During the year
1909 the last one for which the figures
have been complied with several
counties making no reports for lack
Of data, It was found that we had a
total OF 1896 cases with 1,57g deaths.

Remarkable Mathematical Tricks

334, giving ii as the acreage figures
for Madison county. In getting the
acreage for Washington county it was
her business to multiply ll5 by 2G9
Sne gave 297,245 as the product. In
Simpson county the figures TO be
multiplied were 263 by 100, which she
set down as 2G3 100 The result was
ten-fold increase in the acreage
for the three counties.
When the report came out there
was such a panic in the tobacco dis
