It's pleasure to tell our readers
about Cough Cure like DR.. Shoop's.
For years Dr. Shoop has fought against
the use of Opium, Chloroform, orother
unsafe ingredients commonly found
in Cough remedies. DIR. Sho0p, it
seems, has welcomed the Pure Food
and Drug Law recently enacted, for
he has worked along similar lines many
years. For nearly 20 years DR.. Shoop's
Cough Cure containers have had
warning printed on them against
Opium and other narcotic p0isons. He
has thus made it possible for mothers
to protect their children by simply in
sisting on having DR.. Shoop's Cough
Cure. Sold by MaHarney & Myers.

WAS THIRSTY.
Unlawfu1ly, Felonously
and Burg1a rously Did
Steal.

The Fulton Sun tells the trou.
bles of a colored boy in that town,
as follows;
The residents in the neighbor;
hood of q we'll known quiet and
fashionable resort on w est Fourth
street were disturbed Wednesday
evening by a noise that sounded
like the breaking Of plate glass on
a granitoid pavement. Later de-
velopments proved it was a black
negro boy by the name of Claude
Fisher with an appetite like a
cross-cut saw on a still hunt for
something to satisfy his hunger.
He selected the cupboard Of one
Joe Scott, COL, and went thru the
transom smashing everything be-
fore him and did then and there
unlawfully, felonously and bur.
glarously steal, take and carry
away, to-wit: one bottle of soda
pop, three hen eggs, five buns Of
bread, all the value of ten cents,
against the peace and dignity of
the state.
Having confessed to the guilt of
the charge, Prosecuting Attorney
Tincher on Friday fled informa.
ton in the circuit court against him
for burglary. The minimum pen
atty for this offense is three years
in the penitentiary. In the eyes
of the law it matters not whether
the value of the property stolen is
ten cents or ten thousand dollars
if he Is found guilty of breaking
into house the state holds him
guilty of burglary.
This is unique case aud stands
without parallel in the history of
the Galloway county circuit as re-
CARDS the amount Of the theft
charged in the information. Being
unable to give a thousand dollar
bond Fisher has been committed
to Jail to await the May term of
the circuit court.
