Correspondence of The Gazette. KINGS MOUNTAIN, Aug. 24.— Mr. Broward, who was hurt by a fall last week, Is able, by the aid of crutches, to be on the streets a little while to-day. Mr. Maud Hord had his leg ampu tated above the knee last Thursday at a hospital ip Charlotte where he has been for the past two weeks. The success of this operation can not yet be determined. Rev. W. O. Goode preached an un usually Interesting sermon at the M. E. church, South, yesterday from the text, "Quench not the Spirit."

Her many friends are glad to wel come her back again; \ I will give ypur readers a little mathematical problem which they may work out and publish their an Bwer in your columns. A father gave each of three daughters a bas ket of eggs to carry to market, prom ising them that if they would each sell the eggs in their basket at the same price per dozen—the extras al so at the Bame price—and each bring him back the same amount of money, he would make them a beautiful present. In Mary’s basket he placed 85 eggs; in Kate’s he placed 50 eggs and in Jane's basket he placed 15 eggs. At what price did they sell the eggs; and how much did each bring back. Now there la go "catch” in the problem. All the eggs can be sold at the same price and each girl bring back the same amount of cash. (Send In your solutions of this problem to’. The Gazette for'publica tion.—Editor.) TT • For two days and nights rain has fallen in this section almost inces santly, following intermittent show ers for several days previous. News from these sections' ot the county ly ing along the South Fork river is'to the effect that great damage has al ready resulted to the com and hay crops and a continuance of the rains for' another day or two will almost min the entire cropsJn the bottoms.
