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

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.
