prove a considerable item toward the

vice. During the summer. the 24-hou

convenience. The fans can be run
BY an attachment 90 the electric Hight

ENTER LAND & BUCHANAN'S
BUT GET LITTLE BOOTY

Some time during Monday night
thieves entered the grocery and hard
ware establishment of Land a Buch
anan on the corner of Main and Ian

fort to get money. Entrance was et
fected by placing a ladder to one @.
the lack windows and prizing the iron
bars apart. The evening being slight
" warm. all windows were left NJ
the pToprietors thinking that the bars
afforded ample protection.
II Is evident that entrance into the
storeroom was made by boy, as the
space between the iron bars l. not
vide enough to admit the body of a
man. and II is also evident that the
thieves were after money only, as
nothing In the store seemed TO have
been tempered with except the cash
drawer.
Fortunately w. G. Withers. who

IN the cash drawer when he closed
