The fact that the paper OF Wh'ch ne

newspaper work easier than that OF
correspondents whose home oH1ce
was closer to Washington; so that he
had more time to devote to what ne
called real writing than most OF tne
other correspondents. Then. too, his
trend of thought, his point OF view.
was such as to force him to the
broader expression afforded by the
fiction field.

.FULCHAM STORE AT
new SMYRNA ROBBED

The New Smyrna News this week
says:
Gaining an entrance by breaking
the lock on the front door robbers
looted the Fulgham store at the cor
ner of Orange and Canal streets last
Thursday night and succeeded IN
carrying away between $500 and $500
worth of various kinds of merchan.
disc, the plumber being of such a
nature that an automobile or wagon
must have bee used for carting it
away from the store.
The robbery was discovered when
the store was opened for business
Friday morning, and was Immediately
reported to the city authorities. A
number of alleged clews have been
followed since then, but up to this
time no trace of the missing goods,
or the persons who committed the
robbery has been found.
Unmistakable marks on the door
showed that Jimmy" must have
been used in prying on the door UNI
til the lock broke and allowed an
entrance. Once the entrance was
gained the thieves evidently took their
time in making selections of the goods
they wanted to carry away, and these
must have been taken to waiting
or wagon.
The loot taken included q suits of
mems clothes, all of a dark color;
lot of shoes; seven suit cases, practi-
cally all of imitation leather; lot
of mems hats, mems shirts. under
wear, neckties, collars, collar buttons,
etc; and about $50 in cash.
In closing the store Thursday night,
Mrs. Fulgham forgot her handbag and
left 1t lying on the counter This
contained about $25 in cash. and
this money was taken by the robbers.
The authorities are working on the
