A new mode of swindling ha9 been practiced recently by some ads who are well up in their teens and therefore old enough to be ooked after by the officers .if such practice is kept up longer. It has been their custom to steal tobacco or cigarettes at local stores, and then take the stolen goods to other firms and demand a return of their money, claiming to haye purchased the articles at the latter store. There have been enses in which they bought tobacco on credit and rotumed it to other business houses, collecting cash for it. The swindle has come to the attention of several merchants, and it is likely that a halt will be called. The women of Woodcraft of Mary's Peak Circle are justly proud of their order and the promptness with which it meets all obligations. Mrs. Mary Leadbetter who died re cently, held a policy for $1,000 in the local circle. In exactly 19 days after the death proofs were made and sent in, the policy was paid in full to the surviving husband, whose gratitute to the order c n well be imagined. Mrs. Leadbetter had been ill for about two yesirs, and in her case aa in many others the value of life-insurance to be left to those who have to meet the bills incident to any continued ill ness, is beyond estimate. There is to be a joint installation of the G. A; R. and W. R. C. at their hall Saturday evening. These occasions" are always enjoyable for those who participate. Additional Local.
