LONG ANTICIPATED CHRISTMAS
HUNT-INJU RED.
Especial to virginian-Pilot.)

Especial to Virginian- Pilot.)
Boydton. Va. Dec. 26.-It was a we'll
planned and long anticipated Christ
mas hunt that brought together yes
terday morning a dozen or more of
Boydton's lovers of the chase. An ear
ly start was made. and the day was full
of promise and pleasure. All went well
and full of glee, until about midday,
when, in the language of the poet.
CLOSE on the hounds the hunters came,
to cheer them on the vanished game;
but. stumbling" and this time on a
dead level, a gallant horse and rider
fell. The steed was not hurt, but 1t
was n close call for Mr.. T.. w. Overbey,
the popular cashier of the Bank OF
Mecklenburg, of this town. 1t was n
general mix-up of rider and horse, and
the banker received for a Christmas
present n broken leg and several minor
but painful bruises. calculated to ex-
tend his holidays indefinitely.
DR.. H. l.. Atkins Is the physician of
the Boydton Hunt Club and may
nearly always be found in the chase,
but on this occasion he was not in the
party, and DR.. e. T. Hamilton was
summoned. who rendered all necessary
medical aid. and the patient was made
as comfortable as possible In Captain
Burton's buggy and taken home. This
morning Mr.. Overbey's condition Is not
thought to be serious, and his friends,
who are legion, hope for his early re-
covery. Meantime the business of the
bank will go right on as usual.

Pe-ru-na has become to be so universal
ly recognized as specific cure for ca

one should continue to suffer on with
such terrible malady, neglecting to
take course of treatment with 1t. OF
course 1t may be that some people have
not yet come to know of this great
cstarrh remedy, but 1t Is strange that 1t
should be SO after such multitudes have
been cured by it and so many papers
have heralded 1t from one end of the
country to the other. But the news
travels faster and faster every month,
and no one can fail to see that the time
Is not far distant when Pe-ru-nA will be
known in every household in the land.

RIED IN MANCHESTER.
Newport News. Va. Dec. 26.-Christ-
mas of 1900 in Newport News was the
liveliest ever seen here. the eve and
the day resembling n Northern Fourth
of July. Fewer people went away to
spend the holidays than was ever
known here before, the result being
crowded streets from Saturday until
late Monday night. or course yes
terday was dull day compared with
most holidays here.
The fact that the ship-yard men
worked until Christmas Eve was re-
sponslble for a great many people de-
Gliding to spend Christmas at home but
many business men who usually go
away remained here to spend the holi-
days.
