contracts were just let for the electrical

large sums of money in additions and im

a revival of their business and in buy
ing generally is not far away. New
hulls are being erected and extensions
made to established mills; scores of plants
are beiug thoroughly modernized by the

BURGLARS VISIT MARKET
HERE DURING NIGHT
Entered Market of J. F. Dayvauk ft
Brother aqffUnftmged Safe, But Prob
ably Got Nothin*.
Burglars paid a visit to the market
of J. F. Dayvault ft Bro. Monday night
but it is believed they got ' nothing tor
their trouble. The combination knob on
the safe was knocked off, but owners of
the market iiave been inable to get the!
safe open this morning and it is believed
the burglars had a similar fate after
knocking off the knob.
The safe is located near the desk, in
'the front part of the market. How the
man worked at the safe without being
seen or heard is a mystery, for the' safe
plainly shows that it was hammered with
some heavy, blunt ‘instrument.
It was reported that several hundred
dollars was in the safe but it is believed
the money was not secured as there has
beeu no way to open the safe today.
The work probably was done by the
same person or persons that entered the
grocery store of John IV. Cline several
weeks ago. The combination knoh on
his safe was knocked off and the safe
opened and about S6O in ca*h secured.
