OIIT AT THE MILL.

The Yorkville Cotton Mill spoke for it
self the first time on last Wednesday. 1t
was only the blast of the steam whistle ;
but that blast indicated progress.
The work Of placing the engine and
boilers has been going on for about two
weeks now, and is nearly finished. The
boilers are in position, and the big engine,
which was started for the first time on
Wednesday, is all but adjusted.
Most of the machinery, including card
ing engines, spindles, etc., has arrived ,
and is now being placed in position as
rapidly as possible; but as the work
necessarily slow and tedious, it will be
several weeks yet before it is completed.
Just now the grounds in the vicinity of
the main building and the reservoir are
cut about in various directions with deep
bitches. This is preparatory to putting in
for fire protection, a system OF water
works almost if not quite as complete as
the system now in operation in Yorkville.
A complete electric light plant isamong
the recently arrived machinery. 1t is the
calculation Of the management, when it
once gets the mill in operation, to run
night and day, and the electric light plant
is to facilitate that purpose.
Just when the mill will be put into op-
Grafton, neither General Manager Ashe.
nor Supt. Grimes are willing to say.
They are pushing their work with all the
speed that is practicable, and do not ap-
pear to be concerned so much about get
ting the machinery started, as they are
about having every detail completed in
such manner as to give the best and most
substantial results.

covered that his son was not at Griffin,
and quickly jumping at the truth, ne
went to Mr.. Byrd and the two at once
began telegraphing about the state an
offer of 800 reward for the apprehen-
sion of the couple before they were
married. But all this was without
avail. Young Atkinson had already
arranged an understanding with his
sweetheart. She met him at Kingston.
He had procured a marriage license at
Rome, and they were married by a
Justice of the peace. Then they went
to Rome and registered as ]. P. Atkin-
son and wife. They were arrested
shortly afterward, and an hour or two
later, Governor Atkinson and Mr.. Byrd
arrived in the city and took charge of
them. The parents of the children
are greatly distressed over the matter,
and if they do not take steps to have
the marriage annulled, will at least
keep the two apart until they are older.

HooDTowS, April s.-Sunday nights
rain was as hard one as il ever witnessed
here. To say that it fell in torrents ex-
presses it but mildly. After more or less
rainfall for five days before in succession,
it looked, for a short time, as if We were
about to be visited with second deluge.
Lands were terribly washed nothing
short of a good ditch sufficing to carry of
the water. The newly made terraces on
steep hillsides were but poor barrier to
the flow of th. water to the creeks and
gullies. Bullock's creek has again torn
up the bridge near its mouth, which was
but recently put in repair.
While some corn has been planted and
some grain put in. our farmers are going
to he badly rushed to get in full crop
II the proper seasnn.
Owing to the inclement weather, there
was no preaching ut Shady Grove Sun
day.
True to the predictions of many of our
citizens, the peaches were greatly dam
aged by the recent cold snap.
Last Thursday night, about 10 o'clock.
the families of Messrs. T. NJ. Grantand j.
H. w. Good were aroused by the roar of
the flames in log building opposite their
residence, used as kitchen by Mr.. Grant,
and also as storage place for their gro
ceries. BY the time help could be secured
the flames were beyond control; but by
quick work they succeeded in removing
all the flour and some meat before the
flames waxed too hot for further entry.
Among the things burned were Mr..
Grants new stove and all his cooking
utensils, dishes, etc., barrel of molasses,
box of meat-about 250 pounds; some
thing like 100 bushels cotton seed and
sacks of guano, which latter was stored
in the veranda of the building, besides
other smaller losses. There was no in
surance on either building or contents.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
There had been no fire in the kitchen
since that day at noon. The wind being
favorable, by keeping the roof Of their
residence wet, further loss was prevented.
Yesterday morning about o'clock, the
store of Messrs, Good Bros, was discov-
cred to be in flames. Mr.. Jno. G. Nc
Swain had a quantity of meat in the build
| ing, which, by dexterous movements, he
managed to get out, with the exception Of
one or two sides. AS the roof was then
failing in, no attempt could be made to
remove any of the goods, which were all
burned. Tho fire probably originated
from rats and matches, quantity of the
latter being in the store. There had been
no one in the building since last Sunday
night, Mr.. j. D. Good being in attendance
upon court. There was $50 insurance on
the building, but none, so far as can
learn, on the goods.
Several cases of whooping cough are re-
ported in the neighborhood. So far, how
ever, it is of rather mild type. VoCE.

Eta JANE, April Con last Sabbath
night we had the heaviest rain that has
fallen here since the night of September
9, 1888. Freshly ploughed lands, in places,
were absolutely ruined for the present.
Hillsides were swept off to the clay and
terraces completely demolished. Old
Jim Parker, slave who belonged to
"Uncle Reese Parker, who went west in
1858, used to say that when the "big starr
| (Venus) passed on the north side of the
moon, you might look out for rain. 1t

year. have noticed that the nearer the
time the new moon forms the more or
heavier the storm, though don't pretend

Mr.. H. B. Mcdaniel, of Hickory Grove,
with his wife and children, spent few
days on this side of the river.
One night, about two weeks ago, our
neighbor, F. A. Goforth, was aroused by
the fierce barking of his dogs, as if they
were just going to take hold Of something.
and he got up and found in his piazza, or
in the yard near it, three "varmints''
which he had never seen the like Of be-
fore. He represented them as larger than
large dog, with ears standing straight.
The dogs left the yard and the intruders
to do as they pleased. Nobody can tell
anything about what they were, or where
they went. Mr.. Goforth is not the man
to imagine things, and that has been the
means of giving his story great emphasis.

of the Confederate soldiers buried there,
and at Salem they will meet on the 10th
of May for like purpose. At the latter
place there are 27 Confederate soldiers
buried, whose past services endear them
to their countrymen, and it is right and
proper that some testimonial of our re-
spect should be shown them.
Wheat and oats are looking reasonably
well.
Farmers are badly behind with their
crops. This time last year most, if not
all, of our corn was planted, besides a
good deal Of cotton. The fruit is dam
aged by the frost, and in some places the
peach crop is entirely killed out.

Death OF Mr.. Jacob 8. Earle-Marriage Of
Mrs. Ada Perry to MIR. r. N. Kennedy.
Correspondence OF the Yorkville Enquirer.
BLAoKsBURG, April 9.-Death has again
visited our community and taken one Of
our best and most popular citizens. Mr..
Jacob s. Earle died at his residence on
Pine street early Wednesday morning,
the 7th inst, and was buried yesterday in
the Baptist cemetery by the Rev. Mr..
Bailey, his pastor, in the presence Of
large number of our citizens. Just a
week before, while Mr.. ]. r. Smiths
dwelling was burning, Mr.. Earle was
among those most active in trying to save
the furniture in the building, and through
the adjoining residence of Mr.. j. X. Heal
an, he no doubt contracted the cause of
his death. On Saturday he was seized
with severe pain, and in day or two
developed symptoms of severe form OF
inflammation of the bowels, which gradual
ly grew worse until death came to his
relief.
MIR. Earle was born in Cleveland coun-
ty, n. c., where Earle Station is now 10
Gated, in 1S41, and at the time of his death
was in his 56th year. At the age of "a he
married Miss Mary Little, with whom he
lived happily, and who, with host Of
lrl6IlUS, Is l6IG W lOSSs SAS u
member of Co. +, 34th North Carolina
Regiment, C. S. troops, he served nearly
the entire war, and made gallant and
true soldier, and was the proud possessor
of an honorble discharge from Appomat-
tox Court House. For many years he
had been a prominent member of the
Baptist church, and in every part of
church work was always forward and ac-
tive. Especially did he delight in the
Sunday school, and his pastor, in the low
ing and beautiful tribute he paid to his
memory, said that he and the whole
church would miss him sadly, and he
knew of no one who could we'll fill his
place. He was all obedient son, devoted
husband, loyal citizen, a kind and OBJ
lging neighbor, and an humble Chris
tian, and his works do follow him.
On Wednesday morning, the 7th in.
slant, at 7.30 O'Clock, Mrs. Ada D. Perry, of
this place, was married to Mr.. r. N.
Kennedy, of Ridgeway. The marriage
was at the residence Of the bride, at the
corner of River and Shelby streets, and
was performed by the Rev. Mr.. Thacker,
Of Hickory Grove. The happy couple
left for the groom's home, at $50 o'clock,
the same morning, over the o. R. & c.
road. w. A.

Simpson in the house, are trying to bring
about a organization Of house and

Tom Reed on Wednesday for his failure

somewhat nettled at Jerry's attack, and
said that he would he pleased to have the
house take action in regard to the mat

diately before and after the killing. AS
to whether the shot was actually fired by
Reese, he said,. made no difference. II
there had been dozen people connected
with the killing, and it were shown, as
had been, that Reese YVES one of them,
then he was just as much responsible as
if it had been proven that he had actually
fired the shot.
Judge Buchanan said that the evidence
was sufficient to warrant the verdict of
the jury. What the relations between
Reese and Luckie were he did not know ;
but he thought that everything went to
show that Williams had been killed by
Reese. The only thing that he could not
fully comprehend, was how the jury ar
rived at a verdict for only $500. Had he
been a member Of the jury, he would
have given verdict for the full amount
asked-Sl0, 900. He could see no reason
why a new trial should be granted, and
announced that the motion was oyer
ruled.
The next step in the case will he an ap-
peal to the supreme court, and the proba-
bility is that it will be at least year be-
fore the case is finally terminated.
