Burglars boldly broke the statutory
and biblical laws Sabbath morning

R. L. Harper and I. j. Bonner. Six
dollars and a fashlight were stolen at
the Harper home. The beds were badly

keeper, we dare say she had never seen
her house in like condition. The same
thief probably did the robbery at the
Bonner residence, as it lies at the edge

only go through all the rooms on the
lower floor but the rooms upstairs as
well? Several dollars, hashlight and
other articles of value left with the
burglar for parts unknown. Just across
a pasture land to the south lives w. ].
Caldwell. Near the noon hour black
as the ace of spades negro stopped at
the Caldwell home, taking the precau-
ton to call. When one of the family
went to the door he asked for work. 1t
