REPORTED KILLED.
Some excitement was occasioned on the
street last Friday afternoon by the report that
the up-train on the Chester and Lenoir Rail.
road had ran over and killed Harrison Blalock,
colored, in the northern suburbs of the town.
Several persons went to the scene of the sup
posed catastrophe, and, sure enough, there
found Harrison lying near the railroad track
dead-drunk, with his head somewhat bruised,
which might have been done by the pilot of
the locomotive, or he may have received his
injuries in fight, which we learn he was en-
gagged in before he wandered to the railroad
investigation failed to reveal which; nor
could he satisfactorily explain the situation
himself.
YORKvILLE TIN FACTORY.
Among the business enterprises of York
Vile, there is none more deserving of commen-
dation than the Yorkville tin factory, J. NJ.
Adams, proprietor. Mr.. Adams commenced
business here few years ago under discour-
aging circumstances serious obstacle to his
success being the fact that nearly all the dry
goods and grocery merchants also deal in tin
ware but by close application and persistent
Advertising, he has built up a very respectable
stablishment-one that will compare favora-
bly, with any similar establishment in the up
country. In his new quarters he displays his
stock to good advantage, and in his house can
be found a full assortment Of hollow ware,
stoves, tin ware, and other goods which 60 to
make up stock in his line Of business.
