Whllo the department of the county
police la not conducted on the aame
plan ns tho weather department, there
are certain slims and omens which me
considered as Infallible ns those upon
which Mr. Marbury bases his forocustu
at the weather. Ono of these Is:
A season of doff poisoning Is Inevita
bly followed by an epedlmlc of thlovery.
The recent wholesale slaughtering -f
dogs by the poisonous doso in West
End has given rise to this prognosti
cation. and the members of the county
police force are keeping & weather eye
out for those "who break In nnd steal.**
A similar Instance of dog poisoning
In West End several years ago wus
recalled by County Policeman John
.'Oliver Wednesday morning.
I "At that time," said the officer, "the
1 dogs of Sheriff Nelms fell victims to
I nolson. and. In fact, nearly every dog
I ‘ In the community was disposed of l.t
the same way. Immediately afterward
chickens began to disappear by the
coop, and n number of other thefts
I were committed before the thieving
' gang was broken up#"
West Enders are accordingly warned
to keep hen roosts under look and key
or get a fresh supply of dogs. Up to
date nearly fifty dogs have been kilted
by poison In West End during the past
few days.

Prescriptions
The correct test of a good drug store is by the man
lier in which Prescriptions and Medicines are pre
pared. The public has a right to demand competent,
conscientious and faithful service in every 'instance
where life or health is involved.
To meet this demand has been the constant effort
of this store. How well we have succeeded is prov
en by the constant increase in our business; tho
number of those who entrust us with their Prescrip
tions and Drug wants continues to grow.
The public appreciates our efforts to give better
drugs and better service than is possible to obtain
in any other store.
