Six weeks a 20 two'sons of Mr.
R. II. Kirk, a furniture dealer a
Albemarle, were bitten by a dog
which did not at the time show
signs of hydrophobia, but which
was evidently affected by rabies,
as is shown by subsequent events.
One of the little boys, Henry,
aged 8, who, was bitten through
the left cheek, was taken sick last
Saturday and has developed rab
ies, having spasms often His
death if expected to day. -
The other boy, Ernest, aged 10,
was scratched on the wrist by the
dog but has not yet shown any
bad results. He was in Salisbury
this morning, being taken to Bal

Mr. Hallyburton to go to Asheville.
Mr. Alex Hallyburton, who has
had charge as electrical engineer

the Battery Park hotel and will
leave Salisbury to assume his work
in the "Land of the Sky" as soon
as his successor can be secured.
He received a telegram this

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH
Shops Closed Picnic in the Country
Re-Union.
The Fourth is being celebrated
here more than in-the past. There
is no display of fireworks but there
was a general suspension of busi-
ness and exodus to the country.
The Southern's shops and depot
were closed, also the Jjanks and
post office and some places of busi-
ness in the town-
Large numbers went to the
country where a number,, of pic
nic parties enjoyed the day.
. At Faith there was an immense
crowd, the occasion being a re
union of Confederate veterans and
a picnic. The dinner was a bounti
ful feast and was enjoyed by the
large number present.
The Faith band furnished music.
Revs. Lyerly and Brown and Prof.
Rothrock made speeches of inter
est to veterans no politics. A
game of ball is being played this
afternoon. The booming of a
cannon and the march of the old
vets were features of the day.
