The Macbeth Monument.


AsngvILLB, N. c., July 10, 1892
DEAR SIR: SEQ by your issue of July
Srh, that there 10 . possibility Of erecting
monument over the grave Of Robert Macbeth.
| trust that this monument will be erected at
once. The people Of Union County who
have been negligent to a large degree to tho
men who have made il what it Is to-day,
could perform no better act than to
erect q tasting monument over the grave ef
Robert NJ acbsth. For ninety years he lived
and moved among the people of the gooG
old county and for over fifty years he was y
prominent figure in everything thrt looked
to the bsueA. and welfare, not only Of his
native County, but Of his naive State. He
was tried and found true i'll everything that
he did privately nnd publicly during his lic
time. No man deserves moro gratitude,
now tina the has gone, than Sheriff Macbeth.
Born of blood that know no fear, reared
in al atmosphere the constituents OF which
were bravery and courage and iiicii'y,
Robert Macbeth lived a life Of a true man;
true to his country and true &C his friends,
and, in lister years, true to his God. Tho
coming generations will be pointel TO his
character ns man who never shirkcd u
duty or beliod friend.
Even, however, il be II small sum, ! hnd
no greater pleasure than in sending my coa-
tr.bution as some small addition TO the fund
which oh,u eroot n,ooUmsn' 10 tho
memory Of /. h~A .--.--- .-.-.-.
Very truly yours.

Annie Moore, the six-years- old daughter
of II. G. Moore of Fairhaven, is a SOM
nambulist and half. She walked out. of
the second story window the other night,
while asleep, and fell to the ground, a dis
lance of about II feet. She was still
asleep when picked up and was only awak-
ened with great effort. A physician was
sent for but it was found that she was UNI
injured.
Mrs. Mary Messer, wife of Fred Messer
of Thetford and only daughter of w. II.
Kibbey of Fairlee, and Miss Long of the
latter place were out riding when their
horse took fright and both women were
thrown from the carriage. Mrs. Messer
was unconscious for some time, but four
days later when she was apparently recov-
ering she was seized with commissions, and
death resulted after nine hours of intense
suffering.
The wife of Charles Casataw of Shell
don died three months ago and on the
night Of the list he was again married at
the hotel at that place. When the bridal
couple started for their home, distance
of three-quarters of mile, they were es-
corted by calthumpian band, but by
climbing over fences and through bitches
Casataw and wife escaped and sought shell
ter for the night at the house of a neighbor.
The following day Casataw's l6-year-old
daughter appeared before the grand Juror
and charged her father with incest. On
the evidence of neighbors and that of his
own child Casataw was declared guilty and
sent to the county Jail to await the action
of the county court in September.

The Issue in the Granite Fight.

O. W. Norcross, of Milford, Mass, lead
ing granite manufacturer, thus states the
situation in a reply to the Milford Granite
Cutters union: THE fact is, the Granite
Cutters union, as a body have proceeded
with eXactiOn after eXactiOn, rule after
rule, until they have made it impossible
for granite contractor to agree to cut his
granite in any particular time or for any
particular sum. Hereafter the granite
yards must be open for work at fair wages
to any man, whether he belongs to the
Catholic church. Episcopal church, or the
Methodist church, the Odd Fellows or Ma
sons, the Granite Cutters union or any
other union. The granite cutters of Mil
ford do not personally use any granite, or
cause it to be used, and men who have
the money to pay for granite are not going
to fool around waiting for lot of granite
cutters to make up their minds whether
they will work or not. The Granite Gut
ters' union may be of great use in some
