THE! NEWS OFFICE BOBBED.

.was .jbioken into' last Saturday
uigbt or bund ay morning and one
cap case, 11 filled vrith capital
letters, composing .. sticks ? and a
I quantity of iiewsjaper -.l6dy type
tukeu out. .
;i : TiiC miscreants eridently entered
office which could easily -be opened.
The type taken was that nsed in
setting up the paper. The books
and other things in the office were
not molested.
Robbing a printing office is a
new one on uS M,s type is of no
value to anyeevfiot4ntbe printing
business. TpectintakiBg the
type was, eyidently4Vtp so. cripple
the office that The Mews could ,not
be printed. Fortunately however,
the vagrants who performed the
deed did not know enough about
the art preservative to accomplish
? I-;- their purpose.
51 V ' ve still type enough ; to
f3 I get "but the paper and The News
i!' conies out at the usual time in spite
; of what has, been, done to prevent
it being issued. We will state that
" even if all the type one! "other
material in the office had r been
- stolen or "wrecked that "TheMSews
- would still be printed, as re'lire
sure our . naiFsJaper friend; The
j Hustler, of Hendersonville, would
'M gladly extend uai-fthe use :pf v tits
