unions of the town of Bejar have ad

EXTRY! TREASURY
LOOTED OF ITS ALL
From the homes'of the Sisters of
Zion a great walling and gnashing of
teeth arose Monday and not all the
balm of Decatur street has served to
allay the anguish. The treasury of the
sisterhood has been looted and the era-
benler Is still at large.
Mary Manly, who lives In the rear
of 460 Piedmont avenue, Is the trusted
treasurer of the sisters. For years Sis
ter Manly has been the watchdog of
the treasury which at the laat auditing
contained (30 In coin of the realm, two
beer checks and a suspender button.
The funds were kept In Sister Manly's
own boudoir.
The treasurer was absent Monday
afternoon when a strange negro ap
proached the house. To an inquslttve
neighbor he explained that he was a
relative of Sister Manly and was going
In to take a nap. Instend he took the
treasury, suspender button and all.
That Is why the Slsteri of Zion will
have no celebration at their anniver
sary next week.
