It is the same as the Iredell law of 1887, except ing some amendment in regardsiuiug, resulting in the conviction to penalties imposed, which lias made applicable to Rowan. Senator Whitehead Kluttz, the only true representative the citi zens of Rowan had in the last Legislature, was responsible for its passage and justly takes some pride in said responsibility.

Myers, fur the return of certain articles, who says: "Early in January last, the office of M. and Hi. Myera was broken open and the following articles were stolen therefrom: One fine English Gold Lever Watch, with the name J. A. Lillington on the face, -German text letters, one diamond ring, large diamond in centre clustered around with small diamonds, one fine gold ring, with forget me not, inscribed thereon ; one set of ear rings and breast pin, coral and gold, two gold chatalin pins; one bunch of gold charms, one coral breastpin; one gold breast pin," set with pearls ; one necklase with large oval jets, cross in centre; one fine fan, one large- black lace mantel, embroidered handker chiefs, sleeves, etc , blankets, lin en and cotton sheets, pillow cases and bolster slips and many other articlee of jewelry and ladies' ap- parel not recollected. Most of the articles can be identified by W. R, Wilson, watchmaker at this place. Any information given to Captain A. Myers or Samuel Reeves, Sr , will be promptly at tended to." Think of such a robbery being committed and not a word said about it, except what we find in a reward notice. It now seems remarkable. Murder. roperies and such crimes did not come in tor so much newspaper space then as now. W. R. Wilson, the watch-maker, is now only re membered by a few of the old timers, He has two sons living, John Wilson and W. R. Wilson who now resides in Charleston, S C, having married the youngest daughter of the late J. J. Bruner. The names of Samuel Reeves and Myers are now but a memory. The late J. A Caldwell, offers his professional service to the public. His office was then in the brick row opposite the court house, room No. 2. Michael Brown gives notice of having just received a lot of mer chandise. He was one of the merchants here then James Horah, watch-maker and jeweler, states th.vt he is located one dojor below R & A.

It was a stock com pany. A Foil, treasurer, notifies the stockholders tc call upon hi at Mt. Pleasant and get the amount of money due them. A. Myers, office next to Cowan's brick row, calls upon "All persons indebtod to us," the firms of A. & W. Myers and A. -Myers, to settle their respective obligations with out further delay, as it is neces sary that the business should be closed with as little delay as pose sible. So these firms went out o busi-ness here in that year, 1863. R. P. Simonton, of Statesville, and A. J. Mock, of Salisbury, wanted 1000 dog skins and offered $1 00 for medium size, other sizes in proportion. Thomas J. Foster, gives some information bv calling on all those indebted to the firm of McCubbins & Foster, to call at the "hoot and shoe manufactory of John A Bradshaw, next door to The Watchman office," and settle their accounts. How many peo ple now living knew that a boot aud shoe factory ever existed in Salisbury? This is our first know ledge of it and we expect that we have plenty of company.

A number of oar sportsmen have banded together and organ ized the Albemarle Fox Hunting Club, and taken out license to hunt in Montgomery.

To add to their sorrowful events, both follow the death a few days ago of the mother. Mrs. Randall was a most estimable lady, and of strong Christian character. Cruel and Cowardly Act. One of the most cruel and cow ardly acts we have heard of in a long time was committed in this city last Saturday night, when unknown partiesor party took a'carriage horse of Grant Holley, colored, from his stable and stabbed him just under the front shoulder, evidently with the inr tention of striking the heart.
