u fine horse belonging to Frank Snipes
died Sat,:g,iay night. The animal had been
driven very hard during the day by one of
his employees without water and in the ev-
ening the driver gave it several buckets of
water which 1T Is thought was the result of
its death. HI other two horses are sick
and their illness was brought about in like
manner. Owners Of stock should be very
careful as the poor dumb animals have a
feeling well as human beings.
Everything Winston Salem sends out is
an advertisement. Her soldier boys are not
an exception. They want to go to Wris ht-
vile to the State Encampment next Tues

ny goes and they conduct themselves wei
Gas they always do they will call attention
TO cur town be a brass buttoned advertise
ment, as it were and we hope every en-
ployer wilt let off members of the compan
1t is right and it will be profitable
