Catawba Falls Picnic.
The annual picnic at Great Catawba
Falls was held last Saturday. There were
present about 1000 people, and although
cloudy, the day passed off without rain
sufficient to interfere seriously with the
comfort of the picnickers. The usual
accident occurred; but this time it was
horse instead of man. A fractious horse
fell backward, while rearing up, and
broke its neck. The animal belonged to
Mr.. FAINT.
Killed by Shafting.
The Gastonia Gazette publishes the de-
tails of the tragic death of Colt Hanna,
the l5-year-old son of Mr.. John M. Han
ma, in the Gastonia Coffin factory, on Fri
day of last week. Just how the accident
occurred is not definitely known; but 1t
is thought that he was trying to put
belt on pulley of an emery wheel when
the sleeve of his shirt was caught and
wrapped around the shafting. When tho
machinery was stopped, he was lying OH
the floor shapeless mass, with nearly
every bone in his body broken. -
DIR. Bratton In Union.
Union Times: Many old Confederate
veterans will be glad to learn that the
assistant surgeon of the Fifth regiment
s. C. ", DR.. Rufus Bratton, of York.
Vile, is in Union. The doctor has many
friends and admirers in Union. He has
had very eventful life. On one occa-
sion while living in Canada, he was kid
mapped by United States spies and
brought into the States, but England de"
manded his return and the United States
complied. He is accompanied by his
talented son, DR.. Andral Bratton.
An Unaccountable Freak.
On the plantation Of Mr.. Dave Walker,
in CASTOR county, N. c., there is pine
stump, from which the upper part Of the
tree was cut more than forty years ago,
and which is still alive. The top Of the
stump appears to be dead enough; but
upon cutting into the bark, the evidences
of life are equal to those found in vigor-
Gus tree. Mr.. Walker does not under
stand the matter, and would be glad to
have somebody to give scientific ex-
planation. So far as the stated facts are
he can establish them without
question.
