F. Hunter, ; of Rowan county,
has entered suit through Walser
& Walser for damages against the
Southern, on aooount of alleged
personal injuries received in
South Carolina. The amount ask-
A
d is $2,000.
The Southern railway has ap
propriated $2,800 for immediate
improvements at the station in
Lexington and work is to begin
within a few days, and be com
pleted at the. earliest posssible
day.
Last Wednesday morning at 1
oolock the main building at Lib
erty Institute, Wal Iburg, this
county, was burned. Prof. Vann,
tne principal, was in Lexington
and got the news about noon on
Wednesday. The fire is supposed
to have been caused by a defective
flue. -
T. L. Moore for the past two
days has been enjoying muskrats
for dinner. He bought a lot from
a man and had them fixed up ac
cording to his taste at his board
ing house. Mr. Moore was reared
in Maryland on the Chesapeake
Bay, where 'muskrats are in high
favor. He likes them very much.
Chas. Roberts, the negro who
assulted Will Sechriest some
weeksltgo, was tried last week,
. Mr. Sechriest having become able
to get out again. The negro was
bound over in the sum of $300,
and in default of borfd was sent to
jail, ft will be remembered that
he slipped up behind Mr. Sechriest
and dealt him a fearful blow in
the back of the head.
.Last week G, M. Thompson -&
Company, of Tyro, hauled to Sal
isbury some ft), odd ;ba1esr ' of icot
ton, receiving 12 cents for same,
save -for one badly, stained -.bae,
which brought a little over 11
cents. The cotton was part
of the crop raise l in the
Tyro section and on the Holt
farm. Twenty-odd bales belong
ed to Messrs. C. M. and G. M.
Thompson. -
During the latter part of last
week Dr. George L. Ley born, pas-IE.
tor of the JFirst Presbyterian
church in Lexington, was quite ill I
and was unable to be out until I
Monday, of this .week. Conse-I
quently he could not fill his ap-1
nointment at the church Sunday.
This is the hrst time in 83 years
that Dr. Levburn has missed an
appointment on account ' of sick'
ness, or for any otner reason a
record that perhaps, no minister
in the state can equal, and wbjch
few in the whole country can sur
pass, if, indeed, there is one any
where who can surpass it.
The case brought by , the negro
William Lee against'F. R. Loftin,
for monev alleged to have been
.secured from Lee, was settled Sat
urday by acompromise in which
the defendant paid to the plaintiff
the sum of $150, and the costs of
the case. It will be remembered
that the negro alleged that the de-
f endant got from him a total of
$198. and paid back $17. According
to these figures, then, the defen
dant has paid $167. The settle
ment affects the case which was
to have been tried before 'Squire
rVt. A. Heitman Thursday, but

which was put of until Saturday,
in which the 100 note was involved

that the old negro was mistaken
in his claim -that all the, defen-
dant owed him was the $100-, rep
resented by 'the note, and the $17
which was repaid.

Although one is taught, from

it has become necessary in several

make vehicles keep to the right in
crowded thoroughfares. - In Char

REVEALED HOARD IN A DREAM.

before, appearing so natural that,
although she had never see a pic

from her mother's description.
.H was middle aged and wore a
beard. In the , dream lie seemed
to shake Miss Alvord and arouse
her. She stared at him and was
about to speak, but he indicated
silence and motioned her to follow
She followed him into the kitch-
en of tne nouse, a wins tnat was

inside the big oven and reappear-
ed with a stone jar which he set
on the table in the middle of the
room. Me then. seemed oblivious
to the presence of Miss Alvord,
and to her, in the dream, his con-
duct seemed perfectly natural,
He dug his hands into the creek
and brought them out filled with
gold pieces. ' He emptied the
crock on the table -and began to
tack and count the money. - He
made separate stacks of English
and American coins and of the
different denominations. He
made figures on a slip of paper,
whih he totaled and put in his

noticeable in the great
depth. When all had been secur
ed the man closed and locked the
iron door. Then Miss Alvord
woks up..
When she met her brother at
breakfast she told him the story.
Ther-vividness of her dream had
frightened her. But she insisted
that her brother attack the wall of
the oven. She was confident-tfeat
he would find the stone crock and
the treasure. He laughed at her,
but to humor her went at the wall
with a crowbar. The first light
blow went through the wail. A
few blows demolished it, and there
lay a crock- such as the woman
had seen in her dream.
The excitemnt of the sister and
brother knew no bounds. They
dragged out the crock and opened
it, and before theft eyes lay gold.
They emptied it on 'line kitchen
table a table made generations
ago out of a slab of pine. They
counted the money.
.In the heap of gold was four
thousand and some odd dollars.
The stacks weighed eighteen
pounds on a grocer's scales.
The hoard belonged to Silas
Alvord, the grandfather, in all
probability. He was the last of
the family to work an iron forge
on the place. He made anchors,
anchor chains and other imple
ments. When he died, in 1837,
it was thought he had a fortune.
Appaiantly, however, he left
nothing but the farm, valuable
in itself. Then his relatives
thought he had lost his money j&
wild-cat banks.
Miss Alvord's story of the
strange dream and of the findi
of the 'noard of gold was told
about the countryside, and all day
