|: Mr.. James w. Erskine, of Broadway
Township, was in town last Monday with
basket of hail, which fell in his vicinity
three weeks ago to-day CThursday.) Mr..
Erskine was in the city Saturday and
spoke fit, but as some seemed to doubt
the statement, he brought basket-full of
it to show. This is a pretty big tale, but
1t is true. The idea Of gathering up a
basket-full of hail eighteen days after it
fell, is little hard to understand in May.
But the assertion.was made that wagon
load could be gathered up in the neigh
borhood.
The Greenville Nesa,, of the 3rd inst,
says: a.John W. Sitton Of Brushy Greek,
Anderson County, has recently applied
for patent on an-invention of his, and
has employed A.C. Welborn as his attor-
ney in securing the letters. The inven-
ton is an improvement on nuts and bolts,
whereby the nuts once tightened on will
never come off. Another style Of the
bolt is one which is operated with a
spring, and can only be loosened after the
spring has been pressed down to release
the nut. It is stated that this invention
will be Of great use in cases where steady
fastening is needed"
Ellis Williams, colored youth living
near the city, came near passing out OF
existence last Monday evening. Ellis
delights in blowing a French harp. and a
day OF two ago, before going off to work
he laid his harp away carefully in a little
box, which contained Rough on Rats"
The poison, OF course, got into the cells OF
the harp. When Ellis came home Mon.
day evening, the first thing he did was to
get his. harp and commence blowing 1t
He soon had a peculiar taste in his mouth
and in short time was very sick. A
physician was sent for promptly, and soon
had him out Of danger.
