tomorrow, the 10Th, will be county
court day. 1t will be day of more than
ordinary interest on account of the elect
lion Oh delegates to the Democratic con-
vention, which meets in Roanoke August
II, lSoi' 1t Is not probable that the Ell.
tyson men VIII make any fight for the
delegates, and 1t will be sort of ssTyler
walk.over." 1t is safe to presume that
a majority of the delegates will be in favor
OF w. K. Alexander for tho attorney

Two octogenarians, perhaps the best
preserved men for theiE ages in Roanoke
county, were in Salem yesterday. They
were Alexander White and j. w. DAY.
Mr.. Day lived in Salem forty years ago
and built the present Presbyterian manse,
also the McCauley house, which adjoins
1t. He now lives on a farm neal Hollins.
Mr.. White is remarkable man for his
age'and doesn't love "Yankees" or Dem.

The Salem mad dog scare has been
wiped off the slate. The Hubbard canine
that last Thursday night supposed to be
su tfering from an overdose of lime, mad
vertently taken into his stDmach with
some fiesh;ngs at the Salem steam tan
merry, has been sacrificed, as have several
other dogs bitten by him. Perhaps the
saddeat death amoLg the CANNES WAS
that of Mif1lin Billiards. Jack" "Jack"
was very alfectionate dog and he and
his master were as inseparable as 'Roger
and |" of poetic fame. But as "Jack''
was badly bitten by the dog with lime in
his stomach, he was shot several times
and knocked in the head with single
tree. and it is supposed that he now Ian
cuisines very near the great divide, under
his masters house. 1t would be we'll for
all dogs bitten by the HUBBARD dog to be
Kept up for two weeks. 1t Is always best
to be on the safe side until all danger Is
over.
