money he had on his person. A day
or two. before the Colonel had about
$50 and that day while in Candy he
drew out of the bank $500, and as
the train was late that night he did
not get into town in time to deposit
it in the bank here so he had that
also. The robber laid the pocket
book on the ground and while hold
ing the revolver pointed at Mr.. Gray
opened it with his other hand, scat
terlng some papers on the snow.
After robbing him he ordered him
to leave for home, threatening him
If he returned to town that night.
Col. Gray went home and te1ephoned
for DR.. McPeek, who came and they
together returned to town by a
roundabout way. The next morn
ing several citizens went to examine
the scene of the robbery and found
several Epapers belonging to Mr..
Gray that he had in his pocket book,
and they saw the track Of a man
approaching the road at that point,
and also. tracks where someone had
kneeled down when the pocket book
was emptied.

rapidly the past few days, during
the fine weather. The distributing

40x200 feet sheds has already been
inclosed.s and the frame work of the
roof has been practically completed.
The framework of the other big
shed is also up, while the two-story
office building is ready to be fitted
up for business any time. The big
sheds are so located that the ''Y''

between them. From present indi-
cations the company will be ready
for business in about a month, un-
less the weather changes consider
ably.

ARE you GETTING THE
GREATEST VALUE in COFFEE
FOR YOUR MONEY?

You should always think when you buy
anything that the money is yours and you
nave right to say what you will have for
it-you want value.
Therefore when you buy coffee, whether
yan pay 35 cents or 25 cents or Is cents, you
want the value of your money.
There is one line of Boston coEees that
stands pre-eminently above other coffees
sold in the United States and in them you
get highest value.

will quickly convince you that LEXINGTON

fee will give you for 80 cents.
