D. A. Murdock Bound

Some days since Deputy Sheriff
Morris had information thatD. A.
Murdock, who lives on a farm be
longing to Mr. A. R. Foushee
just south of town, had made a
trip to Virgilina and was return
ing with a load of liquor. He
got busy and with others pro

and awaited the return of Mur
dock. He did not have long to
wait, for soon he came along and
after being arrested he was found
to have with Him about sixteen
gallons of liquor. After trial he
was bound ever to court, giving
bond in the sum of $350. The
section around Picks siding has
seemed to be a regular hot bed of
blockading and the citizens of
that section are very anxious to see
the business broken up. At the
last term of Court ajiegro was' sent

Bailie Satterfield Averaged $39
Probably the best sale made
i here this seasou was that at the
Hyco for Mr. Bailie Satterfield.
He had a load of a little more
than one thousand pounds which
sold for $415, an average of $39
for the entire load. Just think
of it, a two horse load selling for
$415 -but he sold on the Roxboro
market, which accounts for the
big average.

If nothing prevents wte expect to
move back into our old store next week.
Wq could well afford to call this our new
store as it has been extensively remodled,
enlarged and almost made new. After ; ,
we are moved you will find us' in the 1
largest, most convenient, best equipped
and most comfortable store in the county.
Come to see us, come to see our store and
it's conveniences and you will stay to buy
our goods. We have a splendid stock and
our prices are as low as can be found for
the same goods.
There will be no interruption in
business while we are moving, It will
cause us some inconvenience at this busy
season but we will give the very best ser- r
vice possible under the circumstances :,
and we feel sure thaUour customers and
friends will overlook anything that may
seem a short coming. We will move,
quickly and do much of it at night. So
come right along next week as usual. ;
We are always pleased to serve you be
fore we move, while we are moving and
we move.
