Arrain the store-breakers are with

removed a glass from the frontdoort
of .Mr. G. E. Farmer's store and stole
several pistols. . No one has as yet
found any clue to the robders.
There is many things for which
our little town can be justly proud,
but in this matter we are very much
deficient. For several months we
have been molested by continual
robberies. It has come to the point
that nothing is' safe around here.
The robbers j can enter almost any
store, supply themselves with what
they want ' and make their escape;
The blame for this does' not all lay
with our detective force. Our mer
chants have been secure so long that
they do not now take the necessary
precaution to prevent such occurren
ces. Many careless arrangements
which Can easily be taken advantage
ot are left unnoticed. Let us use a
l-tt!e more precaution, ajnd see it a
greater part pf these annoyances can

There seemed to be lack, of interest
in the week's holida) - Large crowds
attended each day's exercises, but
many were carried there.not so much
.by the fair attactions as by a desire to
take a day off. At such occasions
people crowd to such places in order
to see what there is to see, and to take
a day oft in fun.,
The races were not well attend
ed. Many of the spectators claimed
that there was a good deal of. under
hand dealing among the racers, and
of. course this took the fun out of the
races.
Notwithstanding- these features ot
the fair the people of Kocky . Mount
deserve credit for theif attempt. To
get up a high grade fair takes a great
deal ot hard work. The sources
from which a small town can draw
the necessary resources lor a credita
ble showing is very limited." Taking
all these points into consideration the
fair was a good one. No one can ex
pect a county fair to be as good as
one which draws its exhibits' and dis
plays from " the entire State. Our
State fair this year was of a high
grade and of course this had a bad
influence on the general opinion of the
showing made by the fair at Rocky
Mount. All these things being taken
into consideration all should render a
verdict in favor of the managers of
the performances and exhibits, They
assuredly did all in their power to
make the fair as good as could be ex
pected, the resources being taken in
to consideration. ..

Gladness Comes
With a better understanding of the
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef
forts gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the. knowledge, that so many forms of N
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
iamily laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhei-e esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that itis the
one remedy which pi-omotes internal
Cleanliness without debilitating the.
organs on which it acts. It is therefore k
alf important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.) -
-If in the enjoyment of good heajth,
and the system "is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
Physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed every where, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is mcsflargely s
used and gives most general satisfaction.

were seen acting very suspiciously
near Jeff Lee's store.' He called Police

them for a few minutes. It appeared
that the negroes were working the

r' hiin home. But while this little
sham battle was going on they were
fading up two sacks with various

llon became known Mr. Marshbourne
made an attempt to arrest them but
the pretending suddenly left them
and they took to their heels. Mr.
