D. A. Moss had quite a wreck
last week while driving wild
western horse to Salisbury. The
horse ran away and demolished
his buggy and harness, and he
only escaped by crawling out at
the hind end of his buggy. It
took few days to find his horse
and get things Strengthened out
again, but he lost his harness.
He says the scrape cost him about
twenty dollars.
Cement pavement is being

Saturday was quite lively day
for Albemarle in street fights and
drunks, Our officials who have
long been in the habit of letting
this class Of criminals off with
the fine and ''costs," would do
the community lasting good and
incidentally swell the school fund
considerably if they would oc-
casionally impose the limit pre-
scribed by law.
