Wednesday, Jan.9, 1884. ------ Two little girls, SUKIE and LOU PEARSON are suppose to have left Polk County, Arkansas, in December last for South Carolina. They are about 15 years of age. It is believed that they stopped in Alabama or Georgia. Any information in regard to them will be thankfully received by B.F. HOLMES, Glendale, S.C. ------ MR. DAMERON, Intendant of the town of Shelby, N.C., boarded the Air-Line train for Charlotte last week. He soon went to sleep and when he was in the neighborhood of King's Mountain, he rose in his sleep and walked out of the car and stepped from the platform when the train was running about 30 mph. No bones were broken. He must have been dreaming that the kidnappers were after him. ------ As MICHAEL MOORE, son of DR. A.L. MOORE, of Wellford, was going unto the house from the front last Monday, a bullet struck him in the back of the neck and lodged somewhere about the jaw bone. Two young men had been out hunting and they south of the Doctor's house, fully a fourth of a mile away. One one them, SAM HAMMOND had a Remington rifle and he fired it at a frozen turnip sticking out of the ground. He thinks that the ball struck the turnip and glanced upward and struck MR. MOORE. It's a serious wound, but not considered dangerous at this time. DR. J.N. MOORE of this place was called out to see him. The ball has not been taken out yet. We hope a speedy recovery for him. ------ MRS. MARY B. CLEVELAND, died in Greenville last Friday, at the residence of her daughter, MRS. MARY CLEVELAND. She was about 87 years old and was the widow of JESSE CLEVELAND , who was known to all people of this county forty years ago. She survived all her children except MRS. CHOICE of this place and MRS. CLEVELAND of Greenville. For several years she had made her home with these two children. She was buried in the cemetery at this place Sunday afternoon. Full of years and good deeds and kind words she has passed away, but her character and Christian example and practice remain with those who survive her. ------ W.C. CANNON has just received a large lot of single plow stocks and one and two-horse turning plows. Farmers in need of these should give him a call as he has put prices down to suit the hard times. ------ Blank books very cheap at the Spartanburg Book Store. ---------------- April 9, 1884. REV. T.G. THURSTON and his daughter ALICE, were drowned at Oxford Ford in the Catawba River, the 23d of Feb. The body of MR. THURSTON was recovered the next day, but the body of MISS ALICE remained in the river until the first day of April, when it was found floating near the bank by some fishermen. - THOMAS DAVIS, aged 14 , near Cedar Hill, a few miles from Greer's Station, concluded to dig a cave in the bank of the South Tyger as a place of refuge from cyclones. He did not tell his parents of his purpose and when they missed him , on inquiry they learned from the other children that the boy was digging a cave on the river. They began a search and the next day found him buried in his cave. It seems that the top had fallen in on him and he was unable to get out. ------ nancie o. - share, don't sell !
