Winston-Salem, Oct. 16. — Robbers made a raid on the town of Advance, Davie county, Saturday night, but they went away with very little “boodle.” The depot and the stores of W.L. CALL and Co, W.C. WHITE & Co. and J.W. JONES were entered. The safe in the stores of Call & Company and White and company were rolled out of doors and the combination locks were blown off with dynamite. The proprietors had very little cash in the safes.
