Court was hummer this term. There
was not 80 very many cases, but there
were some long ones. The fox hound
case occupied nearly two days. '''''.'''
Court is still in session today. The
case of the Carolina Central against P.
F. Gardner for building on their right
of way at Cherryville will be heard to-
day. .'.'..'".A good many Lowell people
were in Dallas yesterday at the trial
of the case of John Little against the
Spencer Mountain mills Little was
hauling logs about a year ago over a
bridge which the mill claims to have
condemned. The team fell through
the bridge and Little sued for dam
ages. The jury on yesterday awarded
him 1926. ..........A good deal of interest
was shown in the case entitled "Sallie
Paire vs.. Southern railway" She is
the lady who was hurt in jumping of
the train at Kings Mountain sometime
ago. She was awarded damages in the
sum of $3.50; but the railroad took an
appeal.

Lee, Tuesday evening, February %,
1899, Mr.. Henry Howard and MISS
Minnie Mayfeld. I'VE learn from
Mr.. John IT. McCrorey that on last
Sunday night during the rain, the
house of Bob Mobley, alias Robt. Nc
Crorey, near Wellridge, was burnt,
together with the smokehouse, meat,
peas, oats, clothing, furniture, and
everything about the house. The
family just barely escaped, except a
girl 12 or IA years old, who was sleep
ing upstairs. When she walked the
stairway was afire. She ran to small
window; but the flames met her again
and there was no escape. The others
in the house were Bob, his wife, and
another colored man. The fire is
thought to have been incendiary.
There was no insurance. '''''''''Mrs. A.
G. Brice received a telegram Wednes-
day from her brother, ]. II. Miller, Esq,
of Birmingham, announcing the death
of his wife. Mrs. Brice went on to
Birmingham. ..'..'.''Dispenser Refo has
