Arrested for Stealing Reg
istered Matter. Sam Bailey, a
colored man, who has been handling
mail in Weldon for a number of
years, was arrested here Sunday
night, Aug. 12, by U. S. Inspectors
for stealing registered mail, and
bound over to the Federal Court,
This stealing has been going on
for sometime and numerous efforts
had been made by the authorities
to catch the guilty parties, but up
until Saturday night every attempt
had been futile. The Inspectors
arrived Sunday and a trap was set
for the offender, marked money
being used. The officer upon
boarding train No. 85 discovered
that the pouch had again been
opened and the marked bills miss
ing. The boys handling the mail
were called to taw, ai ine point ot
cold steel, and Capt. Sam Bailey,
held the unlncky "cards. He
was immediately arrested, and his
case is now pending.

GERMANS BELITTLE
AMERICAN TROOPS
Say They Will Prove Small Fac
tor in (ireat Struggle. Claim
Our Men Are Not Equal to
Task.
DON'T KNOW WHAT j
THEY'RE UP AGAINST!
It appears from news which
leaked out of Germany, in spite of
the unusually close censorship, that
the German officials are telling
(heir men and women thai the
American troops will cut little fig
ure in the big war. If the German
people knew whai they were up
against they would refuse to listen
to such foolish assertions.
The funniest part of it is that
ihey claim that Americans can't
think quick enough. What a joke!
That's our reputation quick to
think. The Germans will find that
out soon enough. In the mean
time, we at home should gel ready
for the big drive.
Of course we all can't go to the
front but we can do our bit in just
as important a manner right here
at home. Lei us keep fit to carry
on the industries of the nation, till
the soil, work the mines, and keep
the ammunition flowing to the
front in steady stream.
Backaches must be gotten rid
of; those stomach disorders such
as indigestion, constipation, etc.,
must be eliminated; weak, anaemic
bodies musi be made strong and
vigorous; weak kidneys and blad
der must be strengthened; in other
words we must keep fit !
Acid Iron Mineral will keep you
fit. It is not a patent medicine. It
is a pure, natural iron preparation
obtained from the only natural me
dicinal iron mineral deposit I of its
kind known to the world. It aids
digestion, increases weight, creates
appetiie, strengthens dormant mus
cles, brings a healthy color to the
skin, and builds up the body in
general; and is free from alcohol,
will not injure or discolor the teeth.
Old sores, ulcers, etc., regularly
bathed with A-I-M will quickly dis
appear and applied to cuts, wounds
or abrasions it stops blood almost
instantly.

sizes.
