we are auinorizea to announce
that a grand railroad meeting will
be held at Little's Mills on Friday,
July 12th, and distinguished speak

resentatives will be present from the
Richmond & Danville Railroad Co.,
the Maxton & Salisbury Railroad
Co., the Rockingham .& Salisbury
Railroad Co.. the Cape Fear & Yad
kin Valley Railroad Co., and the
Carolina Central Railroad Co.; also
the business men of Salisbury, Troy,
Wadesboro, Fayette.ville, Wilming

Come one, come all; a grand time
anticipated.

Not satisfied with their former
tusse! on the diamond with our bo3's,
the Roberdel base ball club chal
lenged the Rockingham club for an
other came last Saturday, to be
played on the grounds of the foi mer
clab. Our boys promptly accepted
the challenge, and at 3 o'clock Sat
urday afternoon quite a crowd went
out to Uoberdel to see the tun. At
about 4:15 umpire Guthrie called the
game, with the Rockingham boys at
the bat. Some of the Roberdel boys
played well ; others played badly.
All of the Rockingham boys were in
first-rate trim, and that they did
some good playing is attested by the
score which stood .40 for Rocking
ham and 20 for Roberdel at the
close of the ninth inning..
Rockingham's second nine has a
standing challenge for the Roberdel
club.
Death of Mrs. Ha Smallwood.
The painful intelligence was re
ceived here by telegram last Satur
day of the death, at her home in
Paris, Tenn., of Mrs. Ida Small-
wood, daughter of Dr
P. W. and
Mrs. Eliza Stansill, of this town.
We doubt if there ever lived in Rock
ingham a lady more universally be
loved than was Miss Ida Stansill,
and her death carries sorrow to
many hearts outside the family cir
cle.
Miss Ida Stansill was married to
Dr. W. P. Small wood, of Paris, Tenn.,
in JJecemoer, joo. one reiurueu

home on a visit in November, 1888,
when she was stricken down with a
severe illness which culminated in
partial paralysis of the body. She
so far recovered as to be able to re
turn to her Tennessee home in Jan
uarv of this year. But she did not
regain her strength. Gradually the
vigor of health yielded to the en
Croachments of disease, and on. the
22nd inst. she quietly passed away

lined with weeds, rags and. paper. The
large revenue derived from the liquor and
other taxes ought to be sufficient to keep
our town in good trim.

We are requested to state "that

Correspondence of The
Rocket.
Dear Rocket : I
noticed in a
late issue of your
Kiner a railroad
communication un:
the building
of a railroad from
Bockingham un
the Pee Dee. The
writer was not
concerned at what point below it
started from Maxjon. Hamlet or
where so itcamein'at Rockingham.
He was concerned somewhat about
the fateof Laurinburg butthe great
point was to strike Rockingham and
-then go up the river to Salisbury.
To do this he thought a 850.000 or
$100,000 subscription the correct
thing to do by the county since
this section had helped the lower
end to a road (the C. C. R. R.) long
ano.
Now your present correspondent
thinks the lower end' helped Rock
ingham and the upper folks fully as
much, ibey hepled them to the
same road, to a court house and
jail, and public roads coming in from
every point to .our county seat. Ibey
did this cheerfully for the common
weal but to run up the river (as
well as over it, as they have hereto
fore done). They think it would be
very unwise and impolitic for the
county, but might do for the land
owners and railroad corporations if
they see fit to try it for their own
ends and by their oicn means. As to
Laurinburg, the lovely town of the
Scotch, we think she will do very
well without any of that strange
sympathy that would ask her for a
ruinous tax to help the up-river
folks. She already talks of a rail
road to cross Lumber river and
strike the great net work of railroads
to every point of the compass. This,
too, without calling for county aid,
but she certainly ought to get town
ship aid for this great and necessary
work, as the township as well as
city will be greatly helped by it
Maxton, too, is putting out a hand
to the help of our county, which we
ought cordially to grasp. She does
not ask that the whole county help
her onlv the townships. She helps
in her triumphal march into the
great outer world. Surely the town
ships through which it passes will
.
see their opportunity and come
eagerly to their own help by helping
her. We like Rockingham will
build our court house there the up
river folks too-r-but let them build
their own road.

We learn from Mr. A. B. Moore
that within three days of the past

. A Brooklyn Sensation!
- There was a great 'deal of excite
ment among the; colored people of
Brooklyn-last week, over the myste
rious movements of alarge rock that
has been a Jandinark for a century
or less-near the corner of Ninth and
S wan n" streets. The rock "got tired,
probably, of being half imbedded in
dirty "sand , and- used as - a resting
place for every5 idle darkey that
came along, and ; actually started to
CRAWL away at least this is the
story told. It had moved but a few
feet, however, before the discovery
was made that it was "on the go,"
and the fact was soon noised abroad,
resulting in hundreds of frightened
and excited colored people flocking
to-the! place to see the nioving rock.
A woman living in the neighborhood
avowed that she saw it moving and
that it emitted a souiid like running
water. This was enough to start a
half dozen others, each of whom
made the same statement, and . the
excitement was considerably height
ened when it was found one morn
ing that the rock had actually disap
peared -and could not be found any

Destructive Storms in West Virginia.
Chicago, June 17. A special from
Martinsburg, W. Virginia, says :
"A heavy storm passed over the
southwest part of Berkley county
last night. The terrific gale of wind,
that did great damage, was followed
by a terrible thunder storm. This
was followed by a heavy hailstorm
that added greatly to the destruc
tiveness. Hail stones lay in places
three or four inches deep. Crops
and trees are ruined. Live stock was
badly bruised and in some instances
killed.
Several houses and barns were
wrecked by the wind. No loss of
life has yet been reported.

the meeting of. the North Carolina
Fruit Growers' Association, remarks
that the time ia too early for West

participate to advantage, as much of
the best fruit of that section of the
State dofs not mature until later.
This is true. The exhibit made by"
-the Association is really an exhibit

be held as early as it is;- Western
North Carolina is famous for - fine
apples and vegetables, "and Central
North: Carolina" for, fine, apples and
