waive their expressions of joy at

they remember the gallant defence

Many of them do not show clearly
which way the occupants faced and
fought. Some serve the purpose of
water drains for the tilled ground.
Good si, d trees are grown up upon
them.
Several have asked what the un
veiling is. Well, when they finish
a monument they get something like
common sheeting and sew it together
so that two pieces will cover it one
on each side. It is tied around
protruding parts with ropes that
have a loop that has another rope
sticking in the loop to prevent its
unraveling, like chain stich sewing.
Now to unveil is to draw the rope
out of the loop, then draw the other
rope and all falls to the ground.

Charlotte Chronicle.
AV. Thomas Henderson, of
Dallas, who lias been suffer
ing with typhoiel fever for
three weeks, had several hem
orrhages from the bowels all
amounting to two gallons,
which produced such exhaus
tion as to make it evident
that death would soon follow
unless something was done to
replace the vital iluiei which
he had lost. To meet this
emergency, on Wednesday
evening, Juno 11th, Dr. Jenk
ins, of Dallas, ami Dr. Wilson,
of CJastonia. performeel the
operation of tiansl'usinn, using
the blood of a lamb, introduc
ing about one quart of. this
blood, which was followed, by
immediate improvement, and
he now shows marked improve
ment and every evidence of
a rapid recovery. No one had
any hope of his recovery pre
vious to the transfusion.

Statksvili.k, X. (J., June
If. Last Saturday afternoon
the town was shocked by the
sad intelligence of the drown
ing of Eddie Miller, a bright
young boy of 1(5, son of Hen
ry Miller, of this city, in K'st
ler's mill pond. It seems that
he, with two or three other
boys, had run a race from
Statesville to the pond, which
is two miles away, to see which
could get into the water first.
Eddie plunged, into the cold
water in his overheated con
dition, ami was soon found to
be sinking. He was pulled out
by his companions, but only
breathed once or twice after
wards. It is not certain but
that congestion of some kind
caused his death. The funeral
services were conducted, by the
Rev. Mr. Howe yesterday af
ternoon 111 the Methodist
church.
TliiiiKs Have lianuetl.
To every one who observes very
closely it is evident that all things
have changed and changed wonder
ful I v. Some of the once popular
ideas are fast loosing their place in
the minds of men, and in the usher
ing in of the present age, was usher
ed in new thoughts and new custom-,
which were in a great measure to
obliterate the customs of past ages
and raise man in the scale of en-
lightenment and knowledge. And
in the triumphs of science and the
rapid strides of the world, our nation
sprang from the chaos of heathen
ism and stood as a guarding sentinel
to watch her .every achievement.
Rut alas! V lowering cloud hangs
over her future prospects; money is
gathering into the pockets of a few
and the masses aiv oppressed to re
plenish the vaults which corruption
has drained.
This year the people have one
more priviledge of saying who shall
be placed over them and who shall
guard their interests.
Men and brethren, let us look to
our one common interest, and make
our choice men who will guard, not
only a part of our rights, but that of
the whole Union, and looking to the
future of a great people, hold
sacredlv inviolate the welfare of this
great country

The citizens of Dayton, Iowa, have
taken the suppression of the "Origi
nal Package" business into their
own hands. A couple of weeks ago,
a branch of Ibis indus.ry was es
tablished there.
Although t'ne town is strongly in
favor of prohibition, no effort was
made io check the now legalized
traffic until a live-year-nld boy was
seen toddling around the street in a
state of intoxication. Then the
citizens arose in their might and
told the "original package" man
that he must go. The agent
thought it wise not to eiisoboy the
order and has closed up his place of
business and taken his departure.

Maggie Maxwell, daughter of
Washington Maxwell, was burned j
to death last Saturday. She was at
the house alone, and in building a
fire at noon to cook dinner with, used
kerosene to start the lire. In some
way the Haines were carried to the
oilcan, and an explosion was t lie
result. The loud noise of the ex
plosion was heard by Wm. Lontz,
iipon whose plantation in Xo. 8
township the accident encurred. He
at once ran to the house and found
the girl in flames. These were ex
tinguished, but she was so badly
burned that she died in a short time.
Mrs. Maxwell her mother was in
town at the time, and left here
about 12 o'clock. The girl was
about 12 years of age.
In spite of repeated instane-es of
this kind people will use kerosene to
start fires witii, and of course each
one thinks houses it carefully.
