SUCCESSFUL FOX HUNT.
A Weeks Fine Sport With Sheriff
Smith and His Dogs.

EDITOR GOLD Leaf beg that you
will allow me space in your paper to ex-
press my many thanks to Sheriff Smith,
OF our county. for the most pleasant
trip OF my life. l was invited by tie
Sheriff to Join him in fox kunt. We
lett his home Tuesday morning, Nov.
9th, for Franklin and about 1 O'Clock
I. Nj, OF the same day We started a fox
between Centreville and Aliens Store.
and after most exciting chase OF about
hall an hour we captured him at the old
gold mine, near Ransom's Bridge. and
reached our camping ground about dark
On Wednesday morning a short distance
from camp we struck another trail and
ran about thirty minutes when the dogs
started the fox aud in a very short time
wecaught him not far from Aliens Store,
Thursday we rested up and spent the
day among old friends in Halifax. On
Friday morning We caught another fox
alter twenty minutes hard running over
rough country at the gold mine, and
Saturday morning We started four foxes
at once. Our pack got divided up and
we had about four hours hard run but
managed to get our dogs together about
II o'clock and had another hard run,
when Mr.. Ed Smith, the Sheriff's son,
outdid the dogs and caught the fox.
That finished up our week sport and
| must say | was never treated better
than | was by the boys of good old
Franklin, and in conclusion will say that
our most estimable sheriff is not only
one OF the best of officers but one of the
finest hunters in the State, with one of
the best packs OF dogs that can be found
IN long day s ride.
| will leave the hunters of Warren,
Franklin, Vance and Mecklenburg
counties to say if | am capable OF being
Judge OF good hunter or fine dogs.
Sunday hunters, will do for other coun-
tries where foxes are raised in parks but
tor this rough country it takes energy
and grit to get the game
Yours truly,

PECULIAR EXPERIENCE WITH 4
HORSE.
Novel but Practical Use to Which the
Water Works Was Put,

Tony Perry, negro man living on
the Northern edge of town, had pc
cular and exciting experience with his
horse Friday. The animal fell in a
we'll and in rescuing him 'they had a
time to borrow an expression from
one who was there. 1t was very
large well, broad across, which no
doubt accounts for the fact that the
animal was not seriously hurt. And
the size of it had much to do with his
rescue in the way it was accomplished.
AS it was he fell right side up and
when discovered might have been
about in the water had the pasturage
been good. How to get him out was
problem. Some suggested one plan
and some another. None of them
seemed practical. Dig down the side
Of the WE'LL" said one; throw dirt
under him, fill it up and raise him that
way" another said Finally Mr.. w.
w. Reavis appeared on the scene. His
plan was to flood the we'll with water
and float the animal out.
That one who knows as much about
horses as Mr.. Reavls does ought to
know the best way to get one out of a
well was conceded by ali and his plan
was adopted. The hose reel was sent
for and connection was made with
nearest hydrant The nozzle was put
down under the side of the animal and
the water turned on. Gradually the
well began to fill. The water rose to
the horses sides. Steadily the stream
poured in until he was taken off his
feet. He begins to float. Higher and
higher he rises; up, up he comes nearer
the top. A shout goes up, the scheme
works perfectly. A little later and
the shiverlns excited. beast stands on
terra firma apparently none the worse
for his novel experience.
While he was being led away the
question was asked: "Was ever water
works put to such use before?' The
reply came quick: Il never heard of it
if it was, but who would ever have
thought of such a thing but Mr..
Reavis:''

George p. Hart Again in Trouble.

George Hart, whose career in Hen
derson few years ago as gold mine (?)
promoter, bogus draft flasher, allround
deadbeat and accomplished scoundrel
generally, is yet fresh in the public
mind, has been heard from again. AS
we learn from a Norfolk paper he is
still at his old tricks, this time doing
business (?) in Portsmouth. When last
heard from previous to this Hart was
in Washington City, where he was
temporarily restrained of his liberty by
the authorities of the law on the charge
of larcency, and it was hoped by many
of his acquaintance here and elsewhere
that he had succeeded in breaking into
the penitentiary by this time. A
striped suit would we'll become George
Harris style of beauty and that he has
not worn convict's garb before now
is due to woeful miscarriage of JUS
tice. Our contemporary says:
George z. Hart, secretary and treasu-
rer of the Compound Oxygen Company
of Virginia, which has it's office at pres
ent in Portsmouth, was sent on to the
December grand jury by Justice Tomlin
ing 800 from Mrs. A. n. Roberts, in Nor
folk, by falsely representing the stock OF
said company to be valuable, and also
upon the charge of embezzling $50 OBJ
tanned by check entrusted to him by
Mrs. Roberts. The accused lives at No.
SO2 Court Street, Portsmouth, and for
merly practiced law at Rocky Mount, n.
c. He was represented in court to-day
by Messrs. Pender and Rurrow. Messrs.
Sale and Bibb prosecuted the case for
Mrs. Roberts.

Hurt in a Gin.

Ex-Chief of Police j. II. Malone
had the misfortune to get his hand
caught in a gin and badly lacerated last

The accident while painful is not a
very serious one and Mr.. Malone is to
be congratulated upon getting off as

gled up in the fast revolving saws of a

at the cotton gin of his brother-in-law,

could not recover, as did his family

to be divided, but went SO far as to Sc
lect the scripture text and hymns which
he wanted to be used at his funeral.
