Store RanSacked Last
Night.
Every Department Was Touched by
the Thieves and a Wagon Load of
Goods i'm the Aggregate Were
Hauled OF in the Dark.

Hauled On In the DARK
From Saturdays Daily.
One Of the boldest and most extern
sive robberies taking place in Colds
boro for many months was perpetrat-
ed last night on the stores of the Roy
all Grocery Company, every depart
ment of which was rifed of goods.
The first evidence of the theft was
discovered by an old negro woman,
who is wont to rummage the streets
at an early hour, and who, finding the
door of the grocery company's store
open, gave this information.
When the members of the firm ar
rived an investigation was made
which showed hat lard, -four, meat
and other heavy groceries had been
taken on a wholesale scale. The
thieves did not stop here, put also
made a raid on fancy goods, helping
themselves plentifully to cigars, to-
bacco and preserves. The stoleT
goods amount in value to about sew
| enty-fve dollars.
Entrance was effected through {
rear window, the heavy iron bar tt
the shutter of which being bent, thus
enabling the parties to unlatch tn
clasp. Presumably the thieves drov'
a wagon from the back door, which
they left open, as a large conveyance
would be necessary to remove all tn
missing groceries.

And. Of course, indigestion If neg
lected long enough, brings on seri-
GUS diseases in which Kodol cannot
benefit you. Some of these there
is no help for at all.
There are. in fact. very few all
ments which cannot be traced di-
rectly to impure blood. And i'm
pure blood is always due to a dis
ordered stomach.
Use Kodol and prevent Nervous
Dyspepsia.
Kodol will efectually assist Ma
ture to secure a complete restora-
ton of good digestion. It does
this by at once digesting all food
in the stomach and keeping it di-
gested, until the stomach is rested
and can resume its own work. Ko'
dol removes the cause-and the
effect quickly removes itself.
When it is recalled that Apo
plexy, Heart Disease, Cancer-an6
even Consumption-are due tt

transmitted to the blood, ane

lance of maint aiming good diges
