short article for the Ledger that
peradventure | might gain those
facts. About 1874 or !755 the
Cherokee Indians became very
troublesome in this section, now
known as Catawba county, and
murdered and Scslped family Of
these old pioneers, settlers who
were then living on the waters Of
Henry Fork River near that brave
old pioneer, Henry Wiedner's )
house, he being the first explorer
of this county. Then, in a few

James Robinson, and when Wisd>
ner returned to his homo in North
Carolina that he came with lin to
explore this wild wilderness then
under the control and dominion OF
the Cherokee Indians, and when
he saw the country he became SO
, delighted with it and the fertility
Of the soil, that he entered a large
scope of land on the South Fork
River about six miles southwest
OF Newton, a place known as the
Rocky Ford on said river. He
then moved to this section of coun
try about the year 1860, perhaps
little earlier or later. with his
family which consisted of his wife
and thlee sons, who were children
then, one named David, ono John
Harvey, one Jesse, and perhaps a
daughter or two.
Now, | wan to know is there
any person living in the county Of
Lancaster who, by his own knowl-
edge or traditionary history, can
point out the plantation or farm
or spot where he was born, and
what the gwen name Of his father
or mother was, and what her mai

were of German descent or not.

think they were German. If | am

These may be very hard que,

there may be some traces lett for

my chain Of genealogical history
of this ncted family would like
the best in tho world to pet them.

Tuesday and Gave Out This
InfOrfOrmatiOn.

For the information of the
public, and especially those hav'
ing friends who require hospita
care and treatment, we deem i
proper to make a statement o.
facts. This Hospital has beer
over-crowded for two years OF
more, and it's doors have beer
practically closed against the adj
mission of patients for that length
of time, except when a vacancy
was made by discharge. death, OF
when a quiet patient could be re.
turned home in order to receive q
bad patient.
ORiug 70 this fact there has
saeu a. ccumu atlen h the Of
tic # our Superin FeGdenJ within
The last Twelve or fifteen months,
about seventy applications OF
patients who could not be re-
ceived for want Of room. This
condition of things must neces-
sarily continue with increasing
em EMBARRASSMENT to the adminis
tration until the State makes
provision for increased accom-
mediation.
The representatives from the
State Board of Health recently
visited end inspected this Hospital,
and will bear testimony to the
over-crowded condition of our
wards. We therefore respectfully
request Clerks of Courts, and
Justices of the Peace whose du-
ties it is to commit patients to the
State Hospital at GoIdsboro, to
make application only for the
worst class of patients, and espe-
cially those who are actually in
sane.
w have no room for imbecjles,
me chronic insane, nor the epl-
leptic insane who are not danger
Gus to society. Papers of the
state will please publish the
above for the Information of the

THE MORMONS.

A "news item'' has been going
b, rounds IF the ale prtss for
several weeks to the effect that
GoIdsboro is to become the beadr
quarters of the Mormons in North
Carolina, that their "bishop," or
chief muck-a-muck, is to locate
here, aud from this city issue his
"buils'' and direct the operations
of his satellites in their onslaught
upon the homes of the State at
large, with their demoralizing doc
trine and vicious practices.
The ARGUS has let this 'sitem of
news" pass, thus far, unnotlced,
knowing as we do the sentiment
of Goldsboro and the manner of
our people-that we ri a vir-
tuous people: virtuous in morals,
in industry, in ~llberality, in phys
ical energy and material Develop
NETT, and in thet unity of seLti-
m Mt that stands ready at al
times to further the Kingdom of
Righteousness In the hearts of all
struggling for the Higher Life to
the Glory of God and the better
ment of their time, and therefore
The ARGUS has let this item pass
unchallenged up to the eve of its
alleged contamination, feeling that
Grace would be given our people
sufficient to fortify. them against
the coming Of the Mo-mons to our
community, and fearing not that
Goldsboro- would. be subjected to
the opprobium Of being made
"Mormon Headquarters for the
State at large"
Should these so~-called 'sLatter-
day Saints" put in an appearance
here, the ARGUS counsels our peo-
pie to give them no audience,
neither treat them severely bui
let them s.hock by themselves, =
and in brief time they will de-
part to some other "headquar-
ters." I.
Let it be the test of pride q
citizenship and personal virtue or
the part of our people that they
keep aioof from this crew.
