BLACKsBURG, November N.-The
heaviest touch of winter we have had
has been upon US for the past several
days; but the weather is still very
mild for the last Of November. The
season for getting in the harvest and
sowing for another, has scarcely ever
been surpassed in this section, so mild
and warm aud so favorable for out
door work.
Our farmers have sown great deal
of small grain, especially of wheat, and
are petty we'll through with it now.
Their cotton crop, though not turning
out in quantity more than two-thirds
of the crop of last year, will net them
as much, or more, money, on account
of the advance of the staple in price,
and if fertilizers are not too high, every
man will try next spring to plant just
few more acres than he did this year.
However, they don't want the planters
of the great cotton growing states to
do the same thing, for fear of bringing
the price down to 5 cents again.
A fatal and very sad accident oc-
Cured to one of our young farmers
George Cashion-on Saturday night al
Charlotte. He lived near this place,
and on Saturday afternoon, in compa.
ny with Mr.. A. G. Minlz, took the af.
lernoon train for Charlotte. He was
run over in the city by train, and last
night his remains were brought home,
in terribly mangled and mutiIated
condition, and Inferred today at Old
Hopewell burying ground. Ihave not
been able to learn the particulars of
his sad and horrible ending. He
leaves a wife, two young children, an
aged mother, and one brother, Mr.. j.
B. Cashion, of this place, to mourn his
loss.
The streets of our town again re-
joice in being lighted, not by electrici-
ty, as formerly but by first class street
lamps, with coal oil, which serve as
excellent guiding stars to those of our
citizens who are obliged to 60 out on
dark nights.
We have the use of the county
chaingang for several days, and they
are doing some excellent work, widen
ing the west end of Carolina street.
There are only Is members of the
order now, and they all look we'll and
healthy. and show the effects of good
treatment and regular work. They
have been making the township roads
on this side of the river, in lieu of the
commutation tax, and this work is so
much better and more thoroughly
done than by the old system, that all
of the roads leading to our town are
in splendid condition. Better than l
ever saw them.
Tomorrow, at 10 o'clock, at the res
idence of Mr.. J. F. Whisonant, the
marriage of Miss Eula Sheppard, of
Blacksburg, to Mr.. r. McKune Alber-
gotti, of Orangeburg, will be celebrat-
ed. The ceremony will be performed
by Rev. Mr.. Mcleod, pastor of the NJ.
T. CHuICu, III luo pieSCpCO vi icioti'eo
and few invited friends. The happy
pair will then take the southbound
vestibule train of the Southern for
Orangeburg, where reception will be
rendered them at the home of the
groom. Afterwards they expect to
visit Jacksonville, Fla. Miss Shep-
pard is a niece of Mr.. J. F. Whisonant,
and one of our prettiest and sweetest
girls, aud Mr.. Albergotti is well known
as an excellent young man, and a
very popular conductor on the S. G. &
G. E. railroad. They both have lots
of friends who wish them all the hap
piness and content that married life
can give.
Mrs. Matte Dillingham;, wife of Mr..
A. Dillingham;, near Kings Mountain
battle-ground, has been quite ill but
is better.
