Bitten by Mad Dog.
1t isreported that little son of Mr..
WaltsfsBruns was bitten by mad
dog one day last week. Mr.. Brunson
lives at.the former home of his father,
the late Rev. d. D.Brunson. The lit
tie fellow was playing on the side of
the road, all unsuspicious of harm,
when suddenly dog which was CONF
ing along the road jumped at him and
bit him on tine lip. The dog was said
to be foaming at the mouth, which is
one OF the symptoms of hydrophobia,
but this same symptom is produced by
strychnine poison, and it is hoped the
: dog did not have hydrophobia. Since
writingIthe above, we near that Ny
Brunson has carried the little sufferer
to Mrs. Gibson, in Georgia, who owns
mad stone, and that several applica-
tions of the stone were made to the
wound.
sPearce 81 Allen.
For the first time these young gen.
tlemen fling their banner to the breeze
;n5the ADVERTISER. Their announce.
ment in another column-is' simple but.
solid. for instance they say: "We do
,notSrequire you to buy, but only to sat
isfy YOU that we have nicer selection
than you can get anywhere in town."
THAT Is very simple statement OF
fact; but it means great deal to the
purchaser. Again they say: "We also
carry large line of ladies' and gents
shoes, the best, without any exception,
ever brought to this place" What a
sermon in that short sentence, reader,
for you! And SO OIL to the end of the
chapter. Pearce & Allen make no
sensational announcements Of shoddy
