UNION-Times, June II: Captain
John R. Smith died at his home on
last Saturday night and was buried
Sunday afternoon at Duck Pond. One
by one our esteemed old citizens pass
away, to us source of much regret,
is the loss of one who has been so COM
pletely Unidentified with Union and her
people that the loss is felt, as one not
to be supplied in any of the rising gen,
Grafton. He leaves a widow, several
children and many friends to mourn
his loss. Our sympathies are with the
bereaved. ....'''.''The ladies of Union
have contributed big box of the good
things of life for the johnson Rifles
and have sent the same to Chickamau-
ga. Many a soldiers heart will beat
lighter at the sight of these good
things and they will be pleased to
krow that they are not forgotten. We
know that the ladies will feel better
knowing that they have contributed
something towards the pleasure of
others. ''''''"'Paul McNally arrived in
Union on Tuesday last from Chicka-
mauga. He reports the boys as doing
splendidly at the famous battle-ground
and all improving in health, plenty to
eat, and a good time generally. He
wants enough recruits to run the COM
panies up to LOG. Lieutenant McGow-
an went on to Columbia where he has
headquarters and will open a recruit
ing office. We hope they will have
good luck securing men. We would
like to see some of the smart Alicks in
this county drafted for service.
LANCASTER-Ledger, June lS.-
In noting the killing Of Mr.. Charley
Harmon in our last issue, we stated
the blow which caused his death was
given by James Arant. We'were mis-
Informed. The Kershaw Era states
that R. c. McManus dealt the blow
which fractured the skull. Harmon
was in the act, supposedly, of drawing
pistol on James McManus, son of
R. C. McManus, when the blow was
dealt. There were no Arants con-
nected with the difficulty. The Nc
Manuses have not been arrested, but
it is thought they will surrender.
Magistrate Hamel held the inquest on
Harmon's body. .''''.'Died, at this place,
of dysentery, June IA, 1898, Minnie,
the only child of Mr.. and Mrs. j. D.
Griffin, aged about years. The re-
mains were inferred in the town ceme-
terry Wednesday afternoon. '''''''"Mrs.
C. F. Stoll is visiting relatives at Rock
Hill. ''....Hanna Smith, colored, was
struck on the head Thursday night by
Jinks Earle, colored, with piece of
iron. 1t is thought her skull is slightly
fractured. Jinks left the next morn
ing for Waxhaw. MIR. R. NJ. Kirk,
of the Primus neighborhood, has about
recovered from his recent stroke OF
paralysis. He is able to superintend
his business, but does not venture far
from home. I'VE learn with regret
that our townsman, Mr.. F. M. Mayer,
is threatened with stroke of paral-
ysis. Mr.. Mayer is one of the Oldest
native citizens of the town. ''''''Attor-
ney General Barber was in the city on
