BOLD BURGLARY AT BAILEY BROTHERS Thief Calmly Caters Clinton Store and Purloins Valuable. Articles. ' 'Clinton. Dee. 12.?The most excit hig of recent oocurrnnces was a bur glary. During Saturday night the store of Dalley Brothera was broken into and the contents examined and select ed from, evidently w;th deliberation and what might be called "chooslness." jrhe visitor entered through the side door on the north, climbing over the iron bars and apparently knocking ?out the panes Of the window. The ollice was ransacked, every drawer in it pulled open and the safe was tam pered With but not opened. The easli register was left open and empty so nothing was done to It. A till con taining a little change was broken in ? to with a tool obtained from the hard ware department. The intruder seems to have tried on garments of every sort and the floor was strewn with various kinds carried In stoek. About $200 of ready made clothing was left in a heap at the front door the supposition Is that the fellow did not dare make a light Inside and carried them where the electric light In front would enable him to select. He even had the bold ness to no into a display window for an overcoat that took his fancy. Fully llfty pairs of shoes were scattered ov oj the Stole. A slngulai thing was the apparent fact, that the robber had not a wea pon. In his investigation of the of liee he round a Winchester which had probably been there for ten years Mr. thilley thinks, unloaded. He took it, went around to the hardware depart ment for ammunition, and loaded It. Thon he must have kepi it lying on Uu- counter ready for use in rase of a surplsc while he "shopped."

I LETTER FROM BRAZIL | (By Dr. A. B Langston.) Di-. Alva B. Langston, the son of Mr. Thos. S. Langston of Maddon and personally known to most of our readers, lias kindly consented to write a scries of letters for The Ad vertiser from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where he tills the chair of theology in lhi> Baptist College, He has been in the South American city a little over one year, and his contributions will contain much of the life and habits of the inhabitants of thai great coun try. The first installment follows, under dale of October 117: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Calxa S2S Oct. 27, 1910. Editor The Advertiser: The weather is about the Mrst thing that a fellow begins talking about so I may as well say to your readers that wo are Just now finishing up our spring and entering real summer The seasons south of the Equator are. of course, just the reverse of the sen sons north of the Equator. Decem ber, lanuary and February are our real hot months, ami they art hot too. In the middle of the day, it is not advisable to be out in it much. Last year lust after my arrival here I was complaining about the sun hurt ing my bead, when one of my fellow missionaries who had been here a long time replied that it usually af- | footed the weakest spot. 1 replied that I had the advantage of some of my brethren and that was that I had my weakm I'S located. That 's worth some! hing. Hut we will escape the worst part of the heat by spending tho summer in a ne ib\ mountain town. Wo give vacation in our school during Decem ber. January and February. So there is really no necessity of our remain inn In Rio during these not months, \\'e are expecting to go to Frlburgo this year. in some later article 1 wish to iieai with the different phases i f the subject more in detail so I will mnko this letter more general. I was astonished not long s'nro at some statements that a very prominent American mad'1 in regard to Brazil or South America which statements were entirely misleading The fact is von ccn nake almost any pnrticu. lar statement about Brazil and it will be true in some part of Brazil, What I hope to do however, is to give some adequate idea of the country, its people, its industries and the like. I took a s-hort trip some time ago out into the country from Hio and was surprised at its condition. I went almost sevcnty-nve miles through what seemed to me to bi> splendid lands, but with scarcely any of it under cultivation. 1 saw acres and acres of good corn land lying idle, and this was within a half hour's ride of Hio. 1 thought that they had this land well cared for but no. The kind of agriculture that I saw was of the crudest kind, the old fashioned, not 2U goose neck hoe. but the old fashioned hoe Is about the only farm utensil. I occasionally saw a rude plow with an ox to it. 1 remember now a new ground with stumps any where from knee high to waist high, the tops of the trees were burnt on an attempt was made to burn them, and the rest left on the land. The fanner then goes in among the brush and plants Iiis corn or grain with an old fashioned hoe. In all the seventy five (75) miles I never saw a good one-horse farm under cultivation. Hut don't think all of Brazil is like this. | I'll tell you though about the agricul ture of this country. 1 remember too. seeing on this trip a short distance from Hio ar Old cart like those 1 have seen in Sunday school books. Hike those that were used 2,000 years ago. Yet in Hio you see tts many automo- ! biles as most of the cities of the same size. So you see the contrast. You can find most any ConCltlOtl here that you want, the oldest along side of the newest, the richest along side the poorest, the ugliest along side the most beautiful, the gentlest along side the roughest. It is a place of constant contradiction. That is why it is so difficult to give an adequate idea of it. In Hio you can llnd private residences I that are palaces: but in the country, you can find houses with no floor, one room covered with grass and occU ,.i (d by a big family. The Brazilians have big families. I asked an old man thi' other day how mr.n;," children be had. lie said thirteen and thought that was a small family. Well. I go to a Catholic picnic Sunday which meets but once a year, so my nexi letter will be aboyl ''hit. Sincerely, A. B. T.angston. IV. 0. IV. I'nvelling. The monument over the grave of Sov. .1 t'.
