vinegar will ruin anybody's
stomach. Ia, - know when I've
have had real app.e vinegar on
my table. By paying a very high
price, some people get good goods,
but the majority of folks buy the
cheap stuff, and it, like so many
other food products and neces-
saries, is dangerous to health. "
The police declare that much
less whiskey has been sold i'll Lex.
ington during the past month
than in long time. Numerous
precautions for retailing, for fear
of the Law and Order League, and
vigilance on the part of the Off
GERS have certainly combined to
repress violations of the law.
And there are few arrests for
drunkenness, because the old
offenders have found out that it
doesn't pay to meet the mayor
every Monday morning. On cir-
Gus day, however, it is expected
that there will be plenty of new
brandy in evidence.
The Adventists are in the midst
of their meeting at the edge of
town in the Sink woods, on the
Mocksville road. They have a
big gospel tent and lot of small
er ones for sleeping and eating
purposes. More than 100 Adven-
lists from all parts of the state
are here, this number including
elders and deacons and other Off
GERS of the denomination. At
night large crowds of town people
20 out to attend the services.
A man named David Draughn
landed here Saturday on No. 36
in bad shape. He was not in his
right senses, was dirty, ragged
and barefooted, with his feet sore
for much walking. It Is said he
has blood poison. He could not
tell where he had been, telling
many different stories about it.
Saturday night he wandered
around town hunting the house of
DR.. H. W. Dorsett, who lives
in Midway, where Draughn was
reared. Several people was frigh-
tened and the police gave him
room in the jail till Sunday, when
they sent him to High Point,
where his mother and brother,
Thomas Draughn, live.
Sunday at noon a mad dog, CT
at least one that was giving plenty
of evidence that it might be mad,
was killed in the yard OF W. b.
Yarbro, on Center street. 1t was

ster, who lives in another part of
town. The animal began to
to have fits on Main streets,
and when it reached Center, it
had several, one after the other,
sometimes jumping several feet
from the ground. Chas. Young
secured a gun and shot it. Many
people who heard the report of
the gun wondered who could
be shooting on Sunday. No ami
NAL was bitten 80 far as known.
