It was about two feet long and had a long neck about the size of a ma-a's forefin- ger, tnen a nocy tne size oi a man's wrist about six or eight inohes long, then a tail like that of a snake. The two feet were near the forepart and looked very much like the feet of a lizzard or frog. The reptile was killed by two little-colored girls near Gamewell and they so mutilated the body that it could not be preserved or skinned. The question is, What was the thing, anyway? Lenoir, N. 0..

A Mrs. Murphy, living 8 miles frjm Marion, on the public road leading to Morganton, receiving the blessBing. On Wednesday morning, July 8th, Mrs Murphy was very sick, so ow that she was helpless and her nurses had to use the sheet to turn her in the bed. Dr. Justice, of Marion, one of the best physicians in the place, was attending her. The family did not think she could get well. Early in the morning when all were gathered around her bed a voice spoke to her saying : 4 Would you be willing to tell ev erybody of your healing if you were to be healed?" 'Yes.' said Mrs. Murphy, "I would do or say any thing that,would be for the glory of God," "Then," said the voice, "would you prove your healing by getting up and walking to G. C, Conley's gate and back" (a distance of one-half mile. VI 'Yes," said she. Then said the 1 1 voice, "start instantly." She started without dressing and bare footed. T IL.

Her strength increased, her friends having to waiK iass to Keep up witn ner on it. p her return. She sat down and sang and played several pieces of musio, something she had not done before. On Sunday, the 12th, I visited her, found her happy and walking nearly all time, shouting and talk ing to every one who came to see her, and praising God for healing her. Quite a number of friends have visited her. Mrs. Murphy had been in feeble health for years and all are astonished at her strength. She is a woman that stands well in her commnitv.

Last evening Miss Gar- r o - rison and her visitor were alone in the family parlor. Abont 11 clock it appears Mr. Garrison went on the piazza for water.

Hayden, at High Point, mys teriously disappeared Saturday and although diligent search has been made no trace of the young ster can-be found. Saturday Mr. Hayden sent the young fellow up street to sell some fruit, for which the lad secured about 50 cents, Sinoe that time the whereabouts of the boy has been a mystery. The lad is of dark complexion, black hair and rather slim. HiB people live in the eastern part of the state, but a telegram there says the boy has not showed up. The offiers are on the outlook and would like for other towns to look out for the boy so he can be re turned to his home at High Point. "What's the latest about the public building?" asked a citizen. "Skipped last week," responded a wag. The inspector who selects sites is expected soon. He will go over the sites offered, discuss the matter with citizens, and per haps will hold a mass meeting to oocain expressions trom tne peo- pl6t What recommendations he makes will likely be accepted by the government.

A gentleman was here last week I who has a knitting mill in an- other town, looking over Lexing- torn with a view of moving his mill to this place. The town will extend to him a cordial welcome, with the assurance that he will make no mistake in locating here. News of even greater importance than this is the statement that the knitting plant of Yadkin Company, burned, some months ago, will be rebuilt, iiids are being considered this week. If this plant is rebuilt and we get a second knitting mill to boot, Lexington will have a big reason for shaking hands with itself. rne twamnis togetner would em- ploy a goodly number of hands.
