nitely, church services have been
suspended and business in gen.

nourishment to the patients in
this section of the county. The

and, shoes were stolen besides
about Sc in cash that had been
left in the cash drawer. The
store was thoroughly ransacked,
clothing, shoes shirts and almost
everything having been taken
from the shelves. From the ap-
pearance of the strewn stock, it
looked as if general store clean
ing had taken place. The robber
or robbers took time to satisfy
their craving for choice colognes,
as several bottles had been taken.
The robbers made their en-
trance by breaking a window
near the door and removing the
latch.
On completing their job at the
dry goods store, the crusaders
then visited the pressing shop
owned by w. R. Hatten. After
a thorough search of the pressing

their departure.
