Killed a Fine Deer.

Mr.. j. B. Glover near Dabney last
Friday killed the finest buck Of the
season. He was not deer hunting ut
the time and it was almost al acci-
dent that he got Il shot at the
animal. Some boys were rabbit
hunting and hearing the dogs run
ming Mr. Glover went out to lnvestl-
gatev He WAS led to believe that it
was IL deer they were after and put
ting some larger shot in his gun he
ran ahead and awaited develop
ments. Pretty soon the buck bounded
into the open nearby and Mr.. Glover
dropped him at the crack of his gun.
Mr.. Glover did not have any scales
large enough to weigh the deer but
one quarter which he sent to his son
at Roanoke Rapids weighed Il
pounds, making 164 pounds net.
Allowing one-t third for the rawback
this would have put his weight at
close to 900 pounds.

feet and it looks like IA good sized

Plenty Of Exercise Necessary.

Plenty OF regular exercise must be
taken in order to keep the body in a
healthy condition. Any excessive Or
unusual exertion however, is sure to
cause stiffness and soreness of the
muscles and joints
To counterfeit this effect there is moth
ing better than Sloan's Liniment. Lay
it on lightly where the muscles have
been strained; it requires no rubbing for
it penetrates right to the bone, relieves
any congestion and inflammation and
makes the muscles elastic and plant.
Sloan's Liniment is a great boon to
athletes, for it not only relieves pain and
stiffness, but it is an excellent remedy for
sprains cuts, bruises and cramps.
Mr.. J. F. Price of Tuscumbia, Ala,
writes:-''I am an engineer on the South
ern Road from Chattanooga to Memphis,
Tenn. The continued elevation OF my
arm upon the throttle gives it a sore
feeling when on a long journey, and
there is nothing that will take the sore
ness out like Sloan's Liniment, and |
keep bottle in my grip always"

Serious Fire at Dabney.

Dabney was visited by IA serious
fi{e last Saturday. Mr.. l.. W. Bur-
roughs' store was burned resulting
in a loss of about $1,000, with insur-
ance OF $1,000, beside doing other
damage. The fire broke out about
10 O'Clock in the morning and orig
mated in the second story. Supposed
to have been caused by rats.
The store house was owned by Mr..
J E. Burroughs and was valued at
81, 800 He had $500 insurance Mr..
Burroughs was attending the general
conference of the Methodist Protes-
tant church at Liberty at the time
and came home Sunday upon being
notified of the fire.
In addition to the loss sustained by
the Messrs. Burroughs the Masonic
lodge of Dabney suffered ii loss of
aboat $4,000 Their lodge room
was on the second floor, above the
store, and all of the paraphernalia
and other belongings OF the lodge
were burned. There was no insurance
and the damage sustained by the
MasOns is a total loss.
The store house of Mr.. f. q. But
Ter. about 40 feet distant, suffered
damages to the extent OF about
$4,000, covered by insurance. A
part of this building was occupied as
dwelling only. Mr.. Burroughs has
moved into it and will continue bust
ness right along. Just as soon as it
is possible to do SO he will be as fully
equipped with IL complete stock OF
goods in his line as before and as far
as his trade is concerned they will
not know any difference for the fire.
The people of the village and neigh
bors who gathered did heroic work
and but for their efforts the damage
must have been more widespread
and destructive. For these timely
and kindly services the Messrs. Bur
