NEsMITH COUNTY.

The idea OF creating Nesmith coun.
ty is commendable, but is the manner
of creating it commendable 1t is
hoped that in time Nesmith county
viii be formed. but 1t should be done
in way that would be approved by
him if he were with us today. Just as
well ask the people of Portland to
vote for the county officers OF Lane
county, or the city officers of Eugene,
as to vote to create Nesmith county
md this applies as well to all the pro

BURGLARS HAVE ONE
TERRIBLY BAD HABIT
Overlook Valuables While Pill
fering Trifles

The burglars besetting sin is care
lessness. The chances are that it was
carelessness that first drove him out of
honest employment and made a burglar
of him.
The burglar ransacks house and
carries away a spoon holder, a card
tray or some other inexpensive souve-
mir of the occasion, and he overlooks
the thousand dollar bill on the dining
room table and the rope of pearls on
the towel rack. This carelessness
seems to be common to the whole fra
ternity, says the Newark News.
We do not know what the experience
of other cities is, but in Newark the
burglar leaves an astonishing amount
OF portable wealth behind him inva :
riably. When he reads. on the day after
the robbery. that he took Mrs. de Stiles
