THIEVES BUSY
in THE COUNTY
Stores and PostoHice Robbed.
p. o. Burglars Identity Is
Said to Be Known.

The store of j. B. Boyer and Com
pany of this town, was entered late
Saturday night or early Sunday morn
ing, and lot of goods and money
taken, amounting to about one hun
dred dollars, only small amount of
this being in cash, which was taken
from the cash register, the rest con-
sisting of jewelry, candy, etc. Quite
a number of nice watch chains and
several pairs of gentlemens silk hose
were taken. The thieves entered from
the rear easily, by breaking out
window pane. The cash register,
which is quite heavy, was carried to
the rear of the store, and broken
open. The safe, which stood near by,
was not molested. About the same
time, or perhaps earlier in the night,
thieves entered the store of j. H.
Whitley and Son, at North Tazewell,
but were probably frightened away
as nothing was missed from the store
except bottle of coca cola. There is
as yet, no clue to these petty thieves.
who, evidently are ameteurs. This is
not the first time these kind of rob-
berries have occurred here. 1t will be
recalled that several times within the
last few years grocery and other
stores, Bottimore's clothing
store was included, was entered and
articles stolen. No strenuous effort
has ever been made to run down these
thieves. The hope is general that
they may be brought to justice, and
this gang-for such it SENS to be
broken up.
The postoffice at Richlands was
burglarized on last Friday night, and
about $10O in money and stamps TAX
en-. The burglars blew open the safe
of Postmaster Spratt, using nitro
glrycerine, it is believed, and secured
what money was therein, but left
several registered packages. Entrance
to the office was gained by prizing
open door with a pick which was
gotten from a section house nearby.
The explosion was heard by several
people living in the vicinity of the
office, and the burglars were seen by
several people, but darkness prevent
ed the identity of the safe blowers
being possible. One lady, who saw
the men in the darkness thought
there were four or five of them.
The impression seems to prevail
that the burglars who were engaged
in the robbing of the North Tazewell
postoffice on November 3, 1908, were
the same ones who were in the Rich
lands robbery.
1t is stated that Francis Dorne,
alias Pennsylvania Fatty" and
Harry Miller, who were given year
in the federal prison at Atlanta, have
long since finished their terms have
been seen in this section within the
past few weeks, and were doubtless
among the robbers at Richlands.
The Richlands robbery recalls the
arrest and trial of the robbers of the
North Tazewell postoffice, who were
arrested at the home of Mag Lowe,
at North Tazewell, and the arrest of
"Kentcuky Joe'' in Bluefeld short
time afterwards.
1t is stated that special officers of
the postoffice department are on the
trial of the robbers of the Richlands
postoffice.

You will dream you drift on air,
Like you were upon an airship-
Pleasant dreams to be your share.
On Sealy Tuftless Mattress
You'll have rest and sweet repose:
1t is made for peace and comfort
And it does invite the doze..
Fluffy, stuffy, always puffy
Mattress that you can't keep down,
Like the truth it always rises
That's what makes Its wide re-
nown.
Lumps? Indeed there's no humps In It
IT'S the very even thing,
It is made of plant cotton
And it's springy on the spring.
It's the mattress of the palace
And the mattress of the cot;
Safe and sane and sanitary
IT'S the best of all the lot.
It will hold its shape forever
Keeping smooth the upper spreads;
It's so easy to lie on it
And SO easy to make beds.
It is everywhere the hobby
And it's everywhere the rage,
For the Sealy Tuftless Mattress
Is the mattress of the age.

The establishment Of postal banks
In Nebraska has had a peculiar and
rather unexpected result. National
and State banks had been paying two
per cent. interest on time deposits
and when the postal banks came with
the same rate, the former were COM
PEELED, in order to hold their time
deposits, to advance their rate to
three per cent. Quite probably, the
new banking system will have SINH
lar effect elsewhere--that is. the pos
tai banks will compete with National
and State banks for time deposits.
rather than with savings banks pay
