I the Savannah Morning News :
I We have received the following
I from Messrs. A. T. : Lee & Bro., of
I this city, in regard to tho damage
done the turpentine interest in this
section by the late storm. One of
the firm has last returned from a trip

observations and examinations is as
follows :

A&heboro Courier: Mrs. E. A
Moffltt sends us a beet which measures 38
inches in length, and had it not been for
the drought there is no telling how long it
would have grown. Two large rattle

last week.

Graham Gleaner: One day last

out and. near the surface, turned loose his

Of about thirty feet. He was taken out
siderably bruised.
Goldsboro Messenger; The re
fusal of the North Carolina Railroad, Rich

the Midland North Carolina Railroad, is
not at all calculated to shape a healthy
publio sentiment for the R. & D. Railroad

Governor J arvis has promptly tssen steps
to put a stop to such discriminations.

meeting at Ross' Grove, two miles North of
Shelby, is still in progress, i wenty-one
persons were oapuzea iasi weanesaay.
We learn that Col. Frank Cox says if
the people of Rutherford county will give

the Carolina Central road bed from Shelby,
be will -insure them a road from King's

Daniel sold 1,000 boxes of tobacco last

and Mr. Tread away was seated upon the
top of the lumber. The boy was just driv

engine was steaming up from the depot.
The mules, seeing the engine, became
frightened and turning round began to run

away undertook to do so too. but fell, and

wagon wneei ran over ii, creasing me inign.

He was taken home near by and medical
