on his wheel in eight hours one day
recently. Mr.. Littlejohn left Charlotte
at a. m. and arrived in Gaffney at 5
p. M, stopping three hours at Kings

for this hot weather. ..'''''''The annual

Fourth of July celebration in this

GASTON ON-Gastonia Gazette, June
30: Last Wednesday night, 22nd,
just after bedtime, Mr.. John B. Leep-
er's big barn, at his home near Bel
mont, was completely destroyed by
fire. While be is reasonably satisfied
that it is the work of an incendiary,
Mr.. Leeper says he does not know
who did it nor is he able to lay sus'
picion upon any particular person.
......."The victims of the Charlotte
pick pockets, on the Goth, appear to
be in good way to get their money
back. Mr.. Jno. F. Wilson informed
us that he had either got all or would
get all of his $50 back again from the
court. The money found on the per-
sons of the convicted pickpockets was
applied by the court, he said, to re-
endorsement of the victims of the
slickfngered rascals. .'.'.'''About 2
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, Sam Frone-
berger, q darkey on lanyard Row, cut
his throat from ear to ear. The wind.
pipe was severed and several minor
blood vessels. But it didn't kill him.
He was nearly gone when DR.. ]. c.
Whitesides took charge of him, a few
minutes after the deed, and it was
thought at nightfall that he wouldn't
see morning. But he did. He woke
up hungry and thirsty, breathing nat
urally and able to fan the flies off him
self. 1t is now believed that he will
get well. ......'.'.In the Bethel section
cotton and corn are reported to be
fine, and the health of the people ex-
cellent. Crops are being laid by as
rapidly as the fast coming crab grass
will allow. The seasonable showers,
followed by sunshine, cause regular
carpet of it to appear every few days.
This, we learn from Mr.. T. n. Ken
drick, who made flying visit home
Saturday night, returned Monday
morning. He can be very well con-
tented around Gastonia for two or
three weeks, but after that time be
must get out to see "mother and my
friends" which latter term includes,
of course, his best girl, if he has any.
.........Mr. l.. L. Jenkins has been con-
firmed as postmaster at Gastonla. ''''''
The Mormons are among US. Elders

ries of this faith in charge of the work

day morning. .''.''''''Mrs. Eva Glenn

Clemmer and an aunt of Messrs. r. w.,

at noon Saturday, after the funeral SER
vices conducted at the church by the

their sore bereavement. .'..'''''L Little
