Griswold have gone to Gatawba to develop a placer mine thej have there, work having been indefinitely postponed onjfehe Un ion Copper Mine mill. The Gold Hill Copper Uo., is still keeping out the water, but are about two months in arrears, not having paid up since May 10 Jas. Martin, Caleb Ludwick, Dave Morgan and others, who are employed at the Edelmair mine ud in Yadkin county, spent Sun day at home with their families. They returned Monday to the mine where work is being pnshed on a shaft about 90 feet deep. They report a nice vein" of paying! ore. A stamp mill and other machinery is in coufse of constuc- tion B. T. Martin came home from the Phoenix mine last Saturday. Me sent, a iu ounce outton oi goia to Charlotte the result of a week's run. We are having rain in unlimited quantities for the last two weeks. Crane creek on the Gold Hill and Salisbury road was the highest it has been in 15 years vand Dutch second creek has been so full it washed away a section of Roth- rock's mill dam ; also moved the long bridge over the creek on the Gold Hill road some three feet down stream and otherwise dam aged same. Massey Hill died last .Friday evening and was interred in the Gold Hill cemetery on Sunday at 11 o'clock a. m. She was in her usual health And assisted in -preparing breakfast Friday morning. She was addicted to the .use of morphine and it probably caused her untimely death.

We have been having a great deal of rain and "- high waters. There was a large crowd at the celebration on the Fourth of Julv at Rockwell, Saturday, but- owing to the rain the ball game was not played out, and! only four of the races "were run. 'The winners are act 4 aIIahtb OTtO tra rc AaaVt danrcra Holshouser. Sack race, Clarance iSOBt. inree leggea race, win Wfc T TTT 11 Miller. Luther Stockleather. Re- lay race, A. A. Beaver and Charlie I Meisenheimer. Several of the Granite-Quarry boys entered the races but Rockwell carried away all the prizes. Mr. Bost, former section master ;of this place, has gone to Juno, N. CL, to take the section at that I point. We hope him success, The Athenain Library Society, of Rockwell, has accepted a chal-1 lenge from the Kappa Alpha Lit-J atatv flor.ifltv. of Crescent, on the I fnllrrarincr' RftBnlvnd : That the women should have the right of suffrage in the north and south. The Athenians have decided to ac- at 8 p. m. , not because they think that they have a ghost of a show, for the Kappas have named, the question and chosen their side which is the negative, further more they have uglier rind larger mouths. The Athenians knowing all of this, have nevertheless ac- cepted, because . they are from Rockwell and you have to "show fhem." Ukclb Bill, SB9S SOUTH ROWAN. July 6. For the last week or more gully washers have been the order of the day. It is said by the oldest man of our community that the recent rains have been the heaviest that have fallen for twenty-three years. -They have done much to destroy the corn and cotton and have washed land away terribly. Nearly all of the bridges in fcur community are washed away and roads are washed into gutters. One of the most striking things that we have heard tell of was the water washing away for Car son Lyerly, 7 head of cattle, four of them managed toget out of the creek after being washed some distanoe and the other three have never been heard of yet. There will be preaching a Rock's Grove ohurch next Sunday at 8 j. m. Frank Sterns has been a wel come guest at P. A. Jackson's for the last few days. Mr. Sterns Has been in Uentral America and all over the South. He can tel many wonderful and exciting stories. The last thing that has dawned upon our minds is that twenty I five year old cat. Uncle Venus we have a perfect right to believe that the cat is not over 18 years old for a number of people know its age, , No threshing wheat is yet being done in our community and the farmers are not ready to thresh. Well, Bro. Xerxes, that migh make a wonderful dog that pats his foot whfm he hears music, bu we have experienced the like with one in our own neighborhood and at last he made a fine possum dog but spentTnnch of his time trav eling about from place to place ine .bourth oi July was very ! good at Rockwell as there was a very large crowd present, but ow ing to the continued raining they did not have the time expected The ball game was not completed on account raining. Several races were very interesting but the Rockwell boys won them all Several Granite Qaarrv gentlemen 'lost oat. -The Rockwell brass band made fine music in the after noon between showers. Radle Castor has been sick for the last few days. A physician was called in yesterday. We take the greatest of pleasure in publishing a story a man told of his corn. He said that he had corn,. with stalks high as his head Thick as his arm, with three silks and the tassel has never yet come yet. It is hard telling how many ears corn will be on it when the tassel comes out. This will be somewhat a curiosty to many if they find it to be true as it was never known that tassels came out before silk. We notice that there will be another Yost reunion this year as Ixl 1 . ' 11 nere naB Deen one annually every year tor tne last many years There will be many good speakers present and probably the occasion on August loth will excel all others. Rocker.
