The Wilmington Journal, 9Th, says
Last Friday night barn belonging to
Mr.. William Turner, located between
Cuba and Martinsyille, was burned to
ashes. In it was stored a lot of tobacco
valued at about s., 900. The flames ragged
with such fury that it was impossible to
save any of the contents of the building,
consequently the loss was heavy. We un-
derstand that Mr.. Turner had insurance
to the amount of about $6, 900 on the
building and its contents. The light
from the fire was distinctly seen in Will
mington.
From the Hiasboro Gazette, Feb. 2sth.)
Mrs. Judith Jones, aged 80, died at her |
residence near Danville, on Friday, Feb. |
%. She was born in Culpepper County,
Virginia, and came to Hillsboro in 1925. |
She was sister of George NJ. and Arm
stead Doggett.
Every dollar of the stock of the Column
bus and Maysville Telegraph Company,
was taken in less than half day after the
books were opened. The line includes
the branch to cambridge, and shows con-
elusively the faith that is in the HillsborO
success of the railway enterprises under
way and contemplated. The company
will commence putting up the line be-
tween this place and Sardinia within
short time.
The ladies and gentlemen assembled at
the Patterson Silver Wedding on Friday
evening, were startled in the height of
their enjoyment to learn that Mrs. Uric
Sloane had been seriously injured by a
runaway accident while on her way to
the party. The particulars of the acc1-
dent are as follows: Mrs. Sloane had just
taken her seat in the carriage, Mr.. Sloane
and the driver still standing on the side
walk, when the horses became frightened
and dashed away, with no one in the car
riage but Mrs. Sloane, and the lines drag
ging at the heels of the frightened horses.
After running about one square, Mrs.
Sloane opened the carriage door and
jumped, alighting on her right shoulder
and side, receiving serious and painful
contusions of the shoulder and arm. No
bones were broken as at first reported,
but the injuries are as severe and painful,
perhaps, as though she had suffered
fracture.
