Buggy Contest No. 2. . Our first buggy contest was such a winner, that we ; have decided to have a. second j and have purchased one of the Taylor-Caaday Buggy Co's best side ; ;sjpririg;1 top buggies which ; we I prbpbse giving away; This buggy is now on exhibition at the warerooms of C. C. Critcher and He will take pleasure in show ing it ! to you, There are 450 tickets, andr like the. fqrnier contest, one ticket will be given every 'one who either renews or subscribes. When the tickets are all taken we will an ariounce it through these columns and have every one. who wishes to be present come in; and one of the number holding a'ticket will draw and thus decide who will be the lucky holder. '" ' S. E. Wooding, who has been running a barber shop here for the past two ' years, has sold out his business and formed a partnership with a party in South Boston and will go to that place in the next few days. Sam is a good barber, yes a first-class barber and a good citizen, and we hope he wTill be sue cessful in his new field, as he rich lv deserves to be. He has sold his business here to Mr. P. D. Hutch ins, of Mt. Airy, who will continue at the same old stand. Mr. Hutch- ins comes highly recommended and will be glad for you to give him your patronage., A white barber in Roxboro is something new, but then you know it is popular in the cities and Roxboro must keep up with the procession. In renewing for The Courier our good friend Mr, W. R. Seat says; "Enclosed please find $2 for which send The Courier to Mr. T. D. Gravitt one year and the bal ance for me, hoping myself to get the lucky number for the buggy. I want a good strong buggy, and would not object to a good lap robe as the weather continues cola. My wife only weighs 196 lbs." Well, he should have a good strong buggy and if he is the fortunate one we will see that he gets it, but we are afraid fif he gets a lap robe, well he will probably have to buy that. Here's wishing you well. The Prospect Minstrel gave one of their unique and laughable per formances at the court house last night to a very good audience, in fact when we consider the weather it was a flattering house, The per formance consisted of songs, jokes, dances and music and ' was most laughable Jthrpughout. It would be unfair to say who was the star of the evening , but we wiU say that the song "coon, coon," by- Mr, Bal ly Satterfield brought down the house. : He has a good voice and plays the guitar beautifully and his singing wasespecially enjoyed. It was an enjoyable evening and the -people of Roxboro will take pleas ure in having them visit our town again.' The manager requests us to return thanks to the people of the town fpr courtesies shewn and for the; full house which greeted them. ,' Vv;; ' New Goods. ,; I have just received a new lot or shoes and Hats which ; I will take pleasure in showing to the public, you will not find anything better in the town in either fine and I " wl guarantee to save : you money on them.
