struck by lightning, making the second
time during the present summer. The
house on Hamtown lane, occupied by Jacob
WigganB, colored, was also damaged
slightly. The shock stunned Wigsans and
burned the hand Of visitor also colored
named George Washington. A shed at
tached to the kitchen of Mrs. Lydia Price
was also struck, but escaped serious injury.
George Wiggans, Jr., notorious negro,
made himself very obnoxious at the camp
meeting Sunday night, and it was not
until one Of the ministers came down and
threatened him with arrest that he could
be prevailed upon to leave.
The sky southwest of town last evening
reflected what had the appearance of being
a big fire, but it was impossible to learn
whose property it was or to what extent it
was damaged.
Two boys, aged ~ and Ii years, became
involved in quarrel on the street yester-
day, and undertook to settle their diff
culties la Sullivan. But the father of
one came to his sons rescue and between
them they managed to down their antagon-
list, resulting i'll law suit.
