 Mr. Thweat stated in a long distance message to the Anniston Star this morn- ing that only Smith 6 wesson revolver and S2o in special delivery, and 1O-cent stamps were secured from the postal de- partment of the store, but every yard of lace, ribbon embroidery and insertion be- longing to the stock of goods was appro- priated by the burglars, who also took few cans of sardines. No other clothing was taken.
 MT Thweat says that his postoffice and store was robbed of S96O about a year ago by safeblowers, and owing to this fact he has ceased to keep a safe and money in the building since that time, and it was due to this fact that the burglars of last night did not secure more money The McFall postoffice was entered by spring. ing the doors sufficiently to enable the thieves to raise the bar by which it was fastened This is the fourth time that cracksmen have been at work in North Alabama and Georgia within the past month, safes having been blown at Read s Mill, Menlo, Ga., and at the Guntersville office of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad.
