ETA JANE, October 3.-Copsiderable ex-
ci ement has grown out Of the rumor thnt
some persons have been throwing ROCKS at
the houses Of some Of tho citizens in thu
upI er part of this County. lhe names of
the parties disturbed by this outlawry are
among our best citizens and it is but reasona-
abe that our people should be right
eously indignant at il. This distur-
bance, it seems, is confined to the Dawkins
Mill neghborhood What the ohjec, is, we
are unable to cipher out. But it is good
sense to say it had better stop, or some boil ly
will be intrrube, sure.
Mr. Eji or, WIN yju allow us to. throw
oat,he fllowing mint e our road a24h4aI ;;siT
,neighborhood< That ares badly In need Of
repairs. Would II not be a wholesome law
10 hold overseers and communities financially
responsible for such criminal neglect as
might lead to the crippling of stock or
breaking of wagons, in con sequence of their
not keeping such places safe for tho travel
ing public? What will our nsxt Legislature
say and do about il.
Weie2ret to announce the death of little
Ponola Pearl, youngest child of Rev. and
Mrs. j. ID. Bailey, which occurred at their
home near Sunnyside on the Goth, ult., from
membranous Group. She was ! year 3
months and q days old. Our hea, tfe.t
sympaihies go out 70 the bereaved parents
in their troubles:
A precious one from them has gone,
A voice they loved is stil ed,
A place is vacant in their homo
Which never can be filed.
"Ere sin could harm or sorrow fade,
Death came with friendly caro.-
This opening rose to Heaven conveyed
And bado it blossom there.
We are glad 10 learn that Mr.. Wade prid.
more Is recovering from long and severe
spell of typhoid fever.
In a private letter from James City,
County, Va, we learn that Capt. William
Meauly IS lying at the point of death. His
disease is Asthma. Many of our old Army
comrades well remember Capt. Manly and
his patriotic family, How that during our
Peninsular campaign their home was con
ver,ed into a temporary hospital for our sick
and wounded, where every attention posi-
BILE was given them. His most excellent
wife has long since gone to her reward
beyond the grave.
Now that the elections are over we hope
to see our people rise in their manhood
above all the peulant differences engcn-
dered by heated campaign, and remember
that Wa have common interest at stake, q
common country TO save or ruin. We have
heard many hard and uncalled for things
said about town people trying to impose
upon country people, and no doubt some
town people have said hard things about
country people. In neither case is this
right, and we hope each correspondent to
the TINES will see how much he eau do
toward bringing about a Cancellation of
affairs.
Life is too short to be spent in wranallng
over our imaginary evils. Let the past be
forgotten.
We had call from Trial Justices Stokes
aud Ward last week-socially.
1t is nothing but right that the 40Oth ami
versary Of the discovery of America should
be properly celebrated on the 2lst. met
President Harrison and Governor Tillman
are both right in proclaiming it a National
holiday, and it is due the occasion that the
American people observe 1t ss such,
Lot oil our churches, schools aud societies
take the matter in hsnd and show their
interest in their common heritage.
