Postoffice Robbery
Burglars entered the postoffice
Sunday night and secured
about $500.00 in stamps and
about $175.00 in cash by blowing
the safe door open.
They first went to one of the
cotton gins and secured two bars
of iron with which they prized
open the front door of the build
ing. The result of their work
showed plainly they were pro
fessionals at their line of work.
The burglars packed soap in
the crevice around the door and
it is thought they used nitro
glycerine to blow it. The door
was completely blown off and
fragments of it and the soap
were blown into the plastered
wall on the opposite side of the
building.
Postmaster Kyle could not
give the amount of the stamps
! lost as he had just received the
I package from Washington on
the day previous and had not
opened it. He ordered about
$500.00 worth, but the govern
ment sometimes sends more or
less than the amount ordered.
! Mr. Kyle thinks that the burg
! lars must have had a tip from
i someone in the government ser
vice. He immediately notified
j the proper officials of the rob
bery but it was the third day
later before an officer was sent
here.
Cashier H. W. Jernigan was a
j Little Rock visitor Tuesday.
Mr. W. M. Keating of DeView
left Wednesday on a business
trip to Magness, Independence
! County.

$1,000. for Good Roads
The people living within the
I corporate limits of the Town of
; McCrory have donated $1,000.00
! in cesh this summer for good
| roads, and most of them are now
willing to contribute additional
help in the way of free labor to
better build up our highways.
This alone is commendable and'
we believe the country people
fully appreciate what has been
done. The country people too
have been liberal in contributing
along this line and with the
town and rural people working
together in harmony as they are
now doing much more good can
and will be accomplished.
