a rear window and several articles
such as tools etc, were taken. The
silverware, watches and valuable jew

at night and evidently the providers
could not get onto the combination
or else Bert would not have gotten
off so easy as he did. The Pittsville
Hardware store which generally gets
it's share of the burglaries did not es-
cape this time. The thieves gained
access by smashing a rear window
and then by the use of tools found
in the work shop, broke open the
partition door. This fact alone shows
how bold they were as the breaking
of this door must have made con-
siderable noise which could have
been heard on a still night for some
distance. Nothing was missed from

dollars in change was in the safe

BUSINESS PLACES
ARE ROBBED
Postoffice Robbed of $500 in
Money and Stamps.

The burglarizing of the post-office
in Pittsville last Sunday night was
no doubt the work of an expert or
professional safe opener. The thief
gained entrance by breaking a hole
in the glass door reaching in and
turning the Yale lock, and after help
ing himself to cash and stamps he
closed and locked the safe and left
with his plumber. Postmaster Wood
worth was positive the safe was lock
ed so this evidence would seem con-
elusive that the thief was an adept
at the safe opening business. The
mount secured was a little less than
$4,000 so far as learned
The entrance to the PittsViIIe Hard
ware Co.'s place of business as also
Austin's Jewelry store, the two other
places visited are by some, thought
to be merely as a bluff or blind as
nothing was disturbed at either place
and some are inclined to the theory
that the whole affair was planned by
local agencies who felt sure of

Clark County friends of Geo. A

Mr.. Varney began his teaching car
eer in this county as principal at
Maple Works, now Granton, where
he made a most creditable record,
which was fully sustained later as
principal at Dorchester At that
time the writer was County Supt. of
schools in this county and had oppor-
tunity to know of the work he did,
and ever since, we have taken an in
terest in his welfare. He has
worked his own way to success. At
nine years of age he was disabled by
rheumatism, and completed his high
school course on crutches, which he
was obliged to use until about the
time he began teaching. Since then
he has taken one full year and three
terms of Summer School at the
State University, secured his County
superintendent qualification certi-
ficate and done large amount of
private study, besides gaining a
wide experience as teacher in the
schools of Wood county. He is well
fitted for the duties of the office and

CATHOLICS CAN
EAT MEAT FRIDAY
Archbishop Grants Special Dis
pensation for St. Patrick's
Day.

CHICAGO, March g. Catholics
may eat meat on ST Patrick S
day even though it falls on
Friday this year. A special dispen-
sation from Archbishop James F.
Quigley granting this concession was
read in all the churches in the city
yesterday morning. This is the first
time that such ruling has been made
in the diocese of Chicago.
The RI Rev. Paul P. Rhode in
explaining the new ruling said:
"The Holy See recently decided
that when st. Patrick's day falls on
Friday any archbishop may at his
discretion permit meat to be eaten
on that festival in his diocese. It
so happens that this is the first
time that this ruling has been ap-
piled in Chicago. A similar ruling
was made by the Holy See regarding
the eating of meat on Christmas
when that day falls on Friday.
This concession was made to en-
able Irish Catholics to celebrate to
the fullest extent their only nation,
al holiday"
