fant child. fell into the fire, as is supposed
from the effects of ft. There was no other
person in the house at the time, except her
little daughters girl of only five years
who rescued the infant from the fire. and then
ran out and summoned the neighbors but
before assistance could reach the unfortunate
woman, she was so badly burnt that she died
about l o'clock next day.
MILITARY INSPECTION.
Gen. E. W. Noise, Adjutant and Inspector
General of the State, visited our town last
Friday. for the purpose of inspecting the
jenkins Rifles" The company formed at
its armory and marched, in fine order, to the
parade ground of Kings Mountain Military
School, where, with the cadets of that insti.
tuition, it was critically inspected by the Gen.
eral at 8 o'clock, p. m. The ceremonies we're
witnessed by large concourse Of citizens, of
of which the greater part we're ladies.
At the conclusion of the inspection, Gen.
Noise, in the happy manner that marked his
speeches during the last political campaign,
the company, explaining to it the
Importance to the State Of such organizations,
and omplimenting it upon the rapid progress
it had made in military instruction. and
upon the admirable condition of the arms and
equipments. He promised to give every fa-
clity in the power of the State to render the
efficient in every respect, and by a
neat tribute to the ladies, committed them
fairly to the task of uniforming it.
He also paid handsome compliment to
the cadets; and promised to equip them with
a more modern and efficient arm, so soon as
the State shall obtain supply.
The affair was, altogether, most interesting
and gratifying to our community.
