Mrs. L.. M. Robinson, reiict of Jasper
Robinson (who died about fifty years ago.
died at her home near Craytonville on
| Tuesday, 18th inst in the Slst year OF her
age. She was a resident of that section oil
her life, and by her many noble traits OF
character had endeared herself to a wide
circle of friends, who will regret her
demise. She leaves two daughters and
one son to mourn her loss. She was q
forty-fVe years, and was a true Christian
in every sense of that word. Her remains
were buried at Barker's Creek Church, the
funeral being conducted by Rev. N. G..
Wright, assisted by Rev. B. P. Mitchell,
in the presence of q large concourse Of
friends.
Last Thursday morning, at the home OF
her son, Mr.. A. A. Carpenter, in Broad
q Township, Mrs. Elizabeth Carpenter
quietly passed from time into eternity,
after q brief illness, at the ripe old age OF
sc years, leaving behind her four sons and
four daughters. On Friday her remains
we're laid to rest in the Meals Creek
Churchyard, Rev. M. MeGee conducting
the funeral services. She had been q men,
Der of that Church for a number of years.
Mrs. Carpenter was o sister of the late
James Emerson, and had always lived in
Anderson County, where she was born
and reared. She was perhaps the Oldest
person in the County. She was a remark
ably active, energetic woman, and through:
health. She possessed an amiable dispo-
sition, and was most highly esteemed by
all who knew her. She was a faithful
Christian, and when the. summons Of death
came she was ready to 60 to the Saviour
whom she had go long served.
Last Thursday Mr.. James A. Dilllng-
ham, of this city, twin brother to Ander-
sons most efficient Chief Of Police, Capt.
from q visit to his parents, who live in
Rabun County, Ca, came near being killed
by q mob of seven or eight men, who met
him about half way between his old homo
and Walhalla, in Ooonee County. The
only thing that saved him from death WAS
in establishing the fact that he was not
Chief Dillingham;. One of the mob, who
was armed with a Winchester, cursed him
and attempted to shoot him, but the rifle
was struck by one of the mob as it fred
and the bullet struck the ground. The
cause of this trouble dates back to last
April, when two white men, named
Thrift and Shedd, with three others, all of
whom lived in the mountains above Wal
halla, visited this County with two or
three wagon loads Of blockade whiskey.
They camped two or three nights near
Mr.. j. J.. Fretwell's place, three miles
west of the city. Chief Dillingham; with
the Sheriff, Chief Constable FAINT and other
officers raided the party one night and
captured Shedd and Thrift and 100 gallons
of whiskey. The other men escaped with
their wagons. Shedd and Thrift were
tried and fined 500 each. which they paid
and returned home. Nothing had been
heard from them since then. Both Of
them were in the mob last Thursday, and
it was Thrift who fired the rifle. An effort
will BIO made to bring The members Of the
mob to justice.
Piedmont SunE. "Early on Monday
afternoon our entire community was
shocked to learn that our esteemed fellow
to~wnsman, Mr.. B. L Brookshire had met
with an accident that terminated in his
death some two hours after it occurred.
Mr.. B,ooksbire was at work with the
hands who are getting out etonejust below
the dam. Considerable labor bas been
done in this locality for several weeks,
with the result that several heaps of heavy,
massive stones are piled about. Mr..
Brookshire remarked TO somo of his 1880
ciates that he was going to step aside for a
few minutes, and started 10 make his way
up over 9 pile Of the rocks mentioned. 1t
seems that one large stone, weighing per-
haps 1000 pounds, was lying near the top
OF the pile and probably was so evenly
balanced that a touch would move it In
pulling himself up he unfortunately took
hold of this, and swinging it OF of balance,
it came down on him, striking him on
the back and pinning him to the ground.
His co-labore1s rushed to his assistance.
II was all that five strong mon could do to
raise the stone in order to get him out.
He WGs tenderly removed to the oirpen-
ter's shop near by, medical attention YES
at onoe summoned and DR.. Noah Richard
son and DR.. Harrison were soon on the
spot. Mr.. B1ookshire 80 far rallied from
the shock as to recognize wife and friends,
but it was apparent to many that be was
suffering the agonies Of death. He vas at
once removed to his home, who're he died
q few minutes after his arrivai.h
