A MEXICAN AND CONFEBER
ATE SOLDIER DIES.
Cel. elson Slough, of This County,
L Tiien Saturday Morning-, at Ander
son, SC.
f ' No braver soldier ever went to
the battle field than was Col. Nel
8 n Slough," was what the reporter
h trd on all sides when his death
as announced on Sunday.
"Col, Slough died at his home in
Anderson, S. C, Saturday morning
about 3 o'clock, after considerable
suffering from infirmity and gradual
wasting of his vital strength.
Col, Slough was born in this
county, near Jhe Dotson Mill place,
in No. 4. From those who knew
him well, we learn that he was 78 or
80 years of age. He often spoke to
his fiiends about carrying brick
during the construction in 1825 of
the court house that was burned on
the corner opposite Allison's corner.
From this his age, not being exactly
knewij, is estimated. -
During the Mexican war Col.
Slough, with J N Brown, V N
Mitchell, D C Eaggart, Timothy
and Ephraim Tucker, Jas, Dorton,
George Barnhardt and' about sixty
others, went from this county to the
Mexican war. All are dead, or
moved away from Cabarrus except
those above mentioned.
At the beginning of the Confeds
erate war, Col. Slough raised a com
pany and went as captain of the
Cabarrus Guard to' fight yankees and
those they imported. He rose to
the position of lieutenant colonel.
Be is one colonel that didn't get his
title at home, but in the field where
the very souls of men were tried.
During the war he was elected
sheriff of Cabarrus county. He was
once clerk of the county court. He
was. elected sheriff of the county
twice since the war, and before these
days was for many years a deputy.
In fact, all during his life, at ins
tervalSj he was connected with the
execution of the Jaw here in Cabar
rus county.
He leayes a widow (a sister of Rev.
Pieher, once located here, but who
John Hargett of Charlotte spent
Sunday at J H Kizziah's.
Mr. and Mrs, A T Bruten are vis
iting relatives in Montgomery
county.
Rev. J J Renn preached two ex
cellent sermons in Forest Hill M, E.
church Sunday to a large congrega
tion. Fiank Cook, of Salisbury, was
here Saturday.
Forest Hill and Concord played
a game of base ball Saturday even
in." Score 16 to 4 in favor of Con
cord.
The clerks in the company store
are inclined to be stuck up today.
Messrs. Wilkinson and Cook had
the misfortune to let a barrel of
molasses fall and burst. This was
hard luck to Cook, for besides
loosing several gallons of molasses,
he ruined his Sunday pants. We
think that Wilkinson after a genuine
champoo will be himself again.
Mr. P L Saunders, formerly of
this place, but now of Asheville,
was here Sunday. Mr. Saunder's
many friends were pleased to see
him.
High Honor to Dr. Bowman One
Which Charlotte Appreciates.
Rev. Dr. W S Bowman, of this
city, is the recipient of a high honor
from a high source. He yesterday
received notice of his being aps
pointed as a member of the advisory
department of the religious congress
at the World's Fair. The cougres
convenes in September, and will be8
attended by representatives of every
known religion. There will be
Mohammedans, Conf ncianists, Jew
ish Rabbis, Catholics, Protestants,
and every other religion in the
world. Dr. Bowman will not
preach, but direct others how to
preach, and advise generally, This
is a deserved compliment to the
doctor, and one which Charlotte
feels proud to have paid his ability.
