Since | last wrote you death has in
vaded our village and removed from
among us Mrs.iT. W. WoottOn. Her
death was quite unexpected and a
great shock to her husband and
friends. Though she had lived in
this vicinity buta short while, yet
she was universally respected and be-
loved by all who knew her. She leaves
devoted husband and three little
children to whom the sympathy Of
this community is most sincerely ex-
tended.
Our farmers are quite cheered over
the much needed rain which fell on
last Wednesday. Wheat fields are
rapidly assuming their wanted hues
of green. The forests are dofiing their
summer yestinents and are stripping
bare to receive the 6loaUs of the swift,
approaching winter whose sure pre-
monitor, ice, came among us last
night.
Two new buildings are IN process
of erection in our ever growing city.
A large and commodious hotel is be-
ing built and will be run by Richard
Coleman, Esq, man of color and of
great enterprise. 1t will be called, il
Richard is willing, the "City Hotel"
1t will have when finished all modern
conveniences (?) such as gas, hot aad
cold baths, elevators, (chestnuD bells,
ETC., etc. It's style is singular and
beautiful combination of all that is
desirable in architecture, and its ele-
gance of finish is only rivalIed by the
lavish expenditure which seems 10
have been no obstacle to the proprie-
tor in carrying out his wishes to adorn
and beautify the town and create a
paradise for the weary traveller aud
to thus leave his work as an imper-
ishable monument to the oncoming
thousands who will in the future
seek home in this city, the Chicago
of the county.
The other building is large coop
err shop being erected by Messrs. Pace
" Scudder where they propose to
manufacture everything that wears
hoops.
Mr.. Editor I know you are tired of
hearing prohibition talk. But just
please let me say,"Hurrah for Prohi-
bition" one time and I'll drop the sub
ject just as quietly as any saloon keep
er in the county.
MARRIED: At the church near Pee
Dee, on Saturday evening, the 9th
inst, Captain c. w. Little to Miss
Dora Harrison. The solemn and beau
tiful ceremony. which made these two
loving hearts beat as one was pro-
nounced by Rev. L. E. Pate. The
bridal party passed through our city
on the early Sunday a. IN. train which
halted for an hour or more that the
genial Captain and his accomplished
bride might receive the congratula-
tions of the Captains legion of friends,
he having formerly been citizen of
our metropolis. We understand that
the happy pair will make Tennessee
their home for the present as the
Captains railroad connections render
his presence in that state indispensa-
bly, necessary.
A certain young lady teaching
school not far from this vicinity may
not be the equal of Lindley Murray,
Noble Butler and other great gram
marians in the subtle theories of that
science but it is confidently asserted
by all who know her qualifications,
that none of the professors Of that
branch Of literature could ever in
their palmiest days approach her in
power of governing the Cages.
