The Supreme Court Of Appeals Thurs
day decided that an application for the
purchase Of delinquent lands under the
recent act of February II. 1898. must be

DEER HUNTING.
A Drummer Who is Hard Drinker OF
Wafer

BOYrTON. VA. January Especial 80
A great deal Of sport has been INDUCED
in her this winter in hunting deer. Two
deer were killed In this neighborhood
Yesterday and brought into town. I do
not remember 10 have heard Of deer in
Meckenburg prior 10 1860. and now they
are quite plentiful in this and some Of
the adjoining counties. A custom pre-
walls among deer hunters which is not
generally known to the uninitlated which
looks less selfish and more friendly than
almost anything else, and Is very COM
mendable. II is this: When a deer is
killed. no matter who IS the successful
hunter the animal Is equally divided
among all those participating in the hunt.
There were good breaks at both the
warehouses here on Tuesday, despite the
bad roads. The Boylton market Is well
sustained. for a larger quantity OF to-
bacco has been sold here this season
than for many years, and prices seem
10 be satisfactory 10 both buyers and
sellers.
But few persons outside the medical
fraternity know mans capacity for
drinking water. I have a friend here
who has been suffering from trouble
which he thinks requires the free use
OF Buffalo I.ithia Water. lie IS com
