In the local-option contest in Roanoke City,
Judge Woods, on Wednesday last, decided
that the Sept. local-option election, in which
the "Drys' were successful, was valid. This
trial came up on the application of Geo. G.
Moore for beer and malt-liquor license. The
Judge denied the application on the ground
that the local-option election was valid, and
consequently no license should be granted.
1t is understood that an appeal from this de-
cision will be taken from the Hastings Court
to the Circuit Court, and, if need be, to the

ABurgIar Fooled by a Woman

The house occupied by Mrs. Judge Stout on
East Frederick street is adjacent to the Bap-
fist Parsonage occupied by Rev. w. J. E. Cox.
About half past IL o'clock last Thursday
night, Mrs. Stout heard an unusual noise,
when she arose, got pistol, and looked out
when she saw burglar attempting to enter
the kitchen of Rev. Dr. Cox, when she dis
charged her pistol which caused the burglar
to stampede, when she fastened his steps
with a second shot The AUGUSTA Baptist fol
this month, edited by Rev. DR.. Cox, in refer
ring to this matter says =
"If burglar should attempt to break into
preachers house soon after he is pounded
by his people, there would be some reason and
sense in his effort, for then he might secure
something that would pay him for his trouble
and risk, but to attempt such thing at othel
| times, as one did at our house last Thursday
night is, to say the least, foolish. On the
night referred to- we were aroused about ll:3C
| by an unusual noise, followed Immediately by
pistol shot. We found that some one hac
| been trying to break into our kitchen window
| and our next door neighbor, brave, coura-
geOus little woman, without fainting or even
alarming the neigh borhood, quietly salutec
him with two bullets. He responded to the
salute by leaving most hastily and uncere
moniously for parts unknown. He left {
broken window behind, which was all thu
damage he did We hope this experience
will prove a warning to our friend, TIT
enemy, and influence him to change his life.
