Mrs. Hugh McPherson died at her home near Gilbert, in Moore county, Sunday, the 29th of March. Mr. McPherson moved with his family four or five years ago from the vicinity of Fayette ville to his present home in Moore couuty. Mrs. McPherson was threatened with pneumonia for a few days prior to her denth, but heart-tronble was supposed to be the immediate cause of her sudden demise. She has many friends in this county who will be pained to learn of her untimely death. A Queer Find. Dr. McNeill has in his possession a, curi ous stone. It was found in Cross Creek, near the Masonic Lodge, by one of Mr. Nicholson's little children. The stone is a flint-soap-stone, such as Indian arrow-heads were made of, and looks as if it bad been chipped by some instrument. Dr. McNeill thinks arrow heads were chipped from it by the Indians. He is collecting evidence to support bis theory. Among other things, he has point ed out that several years ago a mound of Indian arrow-heads and pottery was found near the Masonic Lodge.

Tho Conference Adjourns This Evening. On account of the bad weather last night there was not a large attendance at the Conference.

H. Moore, G. A. Oglesby and B. B, Holder. All these are polished and thoughtful speakers, and their counsel will be of much benefit. The following is the programme for this evening : 3 p. M. Devotional Exercises. 3:30 P. .Review of the work of the Conference, and Pledges to renewed effort in this part of Church Work. Adjournment. Mr. John McEachern, of Robeson, was on the streets this morning. Was It Treasure? Consider Bushee came into town Tues day morning greatly excited and related how the night before, at what hour he could not tell, some person or persons had dag a deep hole on his premises and taken frcm a brick vault a chest, probably full of gold. Consider lives in the house on the right hand side of the road between the River bridge and Long Creek bridge. He said that he bad been plowing that field for years, but never drempt that a fortune was buried there. Several people accompanied him from town, and on reaching his place, sure enough there was a brick casement with a square hole 4x2 feet in the centre, just as if some one had lifted a box out of .it. On this spot several years ago stood the E. C. Hall grist mill, which was soon after the war town down. The brick casement was no doubt the foundation of the boiler. J Some one had certainly been there, but what they took no one knows. We have a theory which you can accept for what it is worth. It is that the man who stole Mr. Martini's horse and buggy Monday, stole it for the purpose of going to this place Monday night, digging up a chest of treasure, probably deposited there by some robber, himself, for instanceand making off. Consider naturally feels hurt. Good Friday Service. There will be Service held in Hay Street M. E. Church South, to-morrow, in mem ory of the Crucifixion of Christ. The service will be conducted from 11 to 12 o'clock. The congregation, and general public are requested to attend. Episcopal Convocation.
