FIRST BURGLARY OF
THE YEAR REPORTED
The first burglary of the New
Year took place on Cuthbert street,
either Saturday or Sunday night,
when some miscreant entered the
Hamilton Hardware Store by prying
loose the heavy wire screen at the
back window of the furniture de
partment and raising the lower
window sash. Some broken window
panes made it easier to do this. The
cash register was relieved of $8.15,
which had been left in there for
beginning operations Monday morn
ing. The thief also helped himself
to a new gold-plated watch, leaving
his old nickeled one in its place. In
checking over his stock of pistols
yesterday, Mr. Hamilton also found
one of them missing. Mr. Hamilton
has suspicions that a discharged
porter, who was familiar with the
i keys to the cash register, may have
I been his nocturnal visitor.

DR. E. E. MARTIN AT
HAINES CITY, FLA.
The following from the last issue
of the Haines City (Fla.) Herald
will be read with interest by the
friends of Dr. E. E. Martin, who is
a former Early county boy:
“Os general interest is the an
nouncement today of the arrival in
the city of Dr. E. E. Martin, to be
associated with Dr. Spencer A. Fol
som. .
“Dr. Martin, in his few days in
the city, has already attracted a
score of friends for his sterling
qualities. He is a comparatively
young man and a world war veter
an. Since his graduation from the
University of Georgia, from which
he holds B. S. and M. D. degrees,
he has to his credit two years of
hospital experience, both of which
were devoted to surgery. One year
was spent at University Hospital,
Augusta, Ga., and one year at the
Coast Line Hospital, Waycross, Ga.
“Dr. Martin comes to Haines City
from High Springs, Fla., where he
was associated with Tyre, Whitlock
& Martin. He plans to be located
in the Folsom home when it is ready
for occupancy.”
