The burglar bold who entered Har per and Oliver's stgraJWay — is still ii U (jUp««*no dollars he stole while pufflj#**“® good cigars he Iike- , wiso ec—fied away. The police made a A.vAirough inspection of the store and ^ premises yesterday, and while they havo a pretty good clue to the identity of the thief have not as yet made an arrest, The burglar wrenched an iron bar from a rear window with the ease he might hWe twisted a lathe, and thon proceeded to help himself. The ^bash drawer was prized open and eight dollars taken therefrom, while from the shelf the burglar filled his pocket* with cigars. If other goods were taken the fact conld not be discovered. The "raid” was made early in the night and was certainly a bold one. About one person in every four suf fers from some form of rectal disease. The most common and annoying ia itching piles, indicated by warmtb, slight moisture and intense, uncon trollable itching in the parts afieoted. The usual treatment has beeu some simple ointment or salve which some times gives temporary relief, but noth ing like a permanent cure can be ex pected from sneb superficial treatment. The only permanent core for itching dies yet discovered is the Pyramid piles yet discovered is the Pyramid Pile Core, not only for itching piles, bnt for every other form ofpiies, blind . f pi bleeding or protrading. The first ap plication gives instant relief and the contiuned use for a short time causes a permanent removal of the tumors or the small parasites which cause the intense itching aud discomfort of itch ingpilea. Many physicians for n long time sup liosed that the remarkable relief afford ed by the Pyramid Pile Cure was because it was snpjiosed to contain cocaine, opium or similar drugs, bnt each is not the case. A recent carefnl analysis of the remedy showed it to be absolutely freo from any cocaine, opium, or in fact any poisonons, inju rious drugs whatever. For this reason the Pyramid File Cure is probably the only pile cure ex tensively recommended by physicians, because it is so safe, so prompt in the relief affordod and so far as known the only positivo euro for piles except a surgical operation. In one year the Pyramid Pile Cure has become the best known, the safest and the most extensively sold of any pile cure beforo the public. Nearly all druggists now sell it at fiOo and 81 per package.

A circular letter has been mailed to the leading politioiansand others in the state, announcing the candidacy of Hon. Mark Hardin for secretary of state. Tho letter is as follows: “Atlanta, Jan. 4,1808.—My Dear Sir: Being satisfied that the present incum bent of tho office of secretary of state will not bo a candidate for re-election, I hereby announoe aa a candidate for that office. ‘My long experience as clerk of the To Georgia’s Veteran* Will Begin at an Early Date. The Confederate veterans of Sumter aa well aa-*>-~~»f , ro ^untied to reoeivo pensions from the state will soon be made glad by this annual distribution of dollars, as the payment of pensions will shortly begin. There are three classes of pen sioners on the rolls—the indigent veterans, who are paid off first; the widows and then the invalid soldiers, who reeeive their pay last During the next sixty days the state will pay ont $600,000 in pensions. The last leg islature appropriated an additional $40,000 to the indigent pension roll. This was necessitated by the fact that 1,846 names were added last year. .The appropriation not then being sufficient each of these received only $80. There is no appropriation for back pensions, bnt for 1808 all those on the roll will reeeive the full amount The appro priation for this class of pensioners is $190,000. Bond Injunction Case Fending in Supreme Coart. After being delayed by injnnctions and other legal hindrances for six months the bond matter now seems near solution, and it is more than prov able that the tangle will soon be smoothed ont by the snpreme court and the needed improvements finally began. It is an end devoutly to be wished. The supreme court convenes Monday next, 10th inat. and an effort will be made to bave the case passed upon soon aa possible. It is not improbable that a decision may be reaohed within a week or two. ^ The proposed bond issqe was beset with many obstacles and a determined fight made against the city conndl. Injunction proceedings were instituted, but when the petition was heard be foro Judge Littlejohn nearly two months ago a permanent restraining order was refused. The petitioners, at a later date, appealed the case to the "supreme court, wnere it now rests. As will be remembered, the taxpayers voted upon the bond question on two separate occasions, each turns the result being largely in favor of bonds. Bat the other side foaght the issue, and tbo matter is still pending in the courts for solution. Tbo city council, m>on petition of nu merous taxpayers, ordered an election for bonds in July last, proposing to spend $35,000 in various improvements, the need for which was and is still ap. parent. The proposed issue extends over a period of thirty years, and can bo sold to great advantage as soon as the pending litigation is settled.

Plenty in the Country to Eat and To 8pare- A casual glance at the many country wagons drawn np along the business streets Saturday would have convinced the most skeptical that our's is a land of plenty and flowing with milk and honey. Nearly every farmer brought in aometbing to sell, if no more than a load of fat pine, though others brought a great deal more. There were whole wagon loads of old bnt toothsome “bine- stem” collards, hundreds of bnsbels of Iiotatoes aud turnips, quarters of dress ed beef, dozens of dressed pigs or mutton for the local market, while the baskets and backets of eggs, batter, souse, chitterlings, backbones, sau sage and other good things fairly made one stroke his vest front in blissfnl an ticipation. Yes, there's always plenty to cat in old Sumter, the Eden of southwest Georgia. A Schley Conn ty Neg-o Rewarded by the Hannaites. A. W.
