they did not get out Of bed for near

The Joke is on the fellows from the
Virginia city. This morning when
they decided to get out and take
look at Salisbury and when they came
to put on their shoes some one or
several of the boys had changed
every mans shoes on the train. Sope
had two Of someone else's. some had
one OF his own and one OF another
kind; some had no shoe at all. ana
some of them had three or more. 1t
was the biggest rnix-up at all and
when the Salisbury fellows piled into
the train the Joke went down the line
Enough of the Richmond visitors
found mates to get out and take In
the city, but the big booster. W. T.
Dabney, had evidently not found MS
shoes yet, for he never did come out
on the ground. He can do more
boosting than any three men. but not

There were three representative
committees at the station, one from
the Salisbury Industrial Club, one
from the merchants association and
one from the city. headed by the
mayor. The Booster Band played AT
the Grub building and went upon
the roof garden, where the visitors
were entertained with a smoker. the
meeting being informal. After taking
a look at the city from the lofty
roof garden, the party was accomra-
MED BY the Salisburians on the march
back to the station

a sticky. drixzly rain falling the whole
time the party was in the city. they
made many expressions of surprise At
