to the prowlers of; the canine
species, we shall be fooled,
Here it is, and Wilkesboro has
our permission taadopt.it: -
"Keeping Dogs and Allowing them to ran
t large in corporate limits of the' town is
hereby declared a nuisance. Any owner of a

Revenue officers Blaylock
and Hardin got into a hornets
nest down in the Hunting
Creek neighborhood Monday
ni&rht. One of the horses was
badly shot and will hardly live.
The officers were not touched,
but they say it was a mighty
hot place for awhile. This
means that a, whole lot of good
people in that section will have
to sff uer on account of the hel
lishness of a few drunken bush
whackers. This firing on offi
cers won't do. Look out for
Indictments.

imyortant that the townchip conven

earnest Democrats be chosen on the

for the chairman of the township com

July 7th as the executive committee
will on that day elect a chairman of
