KILLED ON THE RAIL.--Miss Mary
House, aged IS years, was killed on the
track of the Raleigh Il Castor railroad
near Castor last Friday. She was walk
ing on the track and heard the whistle,
but di3 not know it was so near. The
cars swung round a short curve and were
upon her before they could be stopped.
All was done that could be done to avert
the awful death of the aged lady, but
all to no purpose.
H1TAKE NoTICE.--Section % of the
town ordinances says: 1T shall be
unlawful to put or sweep paper,
boxes, or rubbish of any kind into the
streets, or to leave such where they may
be blown into the streets"
We have observed considerable loose
paper blowing about on the streets
recently. and also some left in back lots
where it IS easily carried by the wind into
the streets. Let merchants clean VI
their lots at once and save the uTpleaS
antnesS of being waited on by the towr
authorities.
