We have been informed that hog thieves have commenced operations in the Eastern part of this ounty. 1t would be well enough for these individuals to learn that they are suspected, and the neighborheod is on the watch. Somebody wi Il most likely have to confer with the Grand Jury this winter. Another thing. negroes are not the only ones who are under suspicion. A hint taken in time might be worth great deal, and save lot of trouble
 You should always remember that most cough and colds cures are eonstlpating. Yet the most important thing to do when you have cold is to move the bowels You cannot promptly cure cold until you do this Kennedy's Lax ative Cough Syrup stops the cough by allaying inflammation of the throat and lungs, and it drives the cold from the system by gently moving the bowels. Children like it for it tastes nearly as good as maple syrup.
