JAILED FOR STEALING-THE
DUMMY LINE TO CLEVELAND
MILLs-AN HONEST PORTER
"A NOBLE ACT.
Shelby Aurora, Sept. 9th.
A most pleasant incident
marked the visit Of the orphans
here last week. Quietly and
without any parade, one Of
Shelby's warm-hearted ma
irons purchased a complete
outfit Of wearing apparel and
just as quietly presented it to
one Of the orphan girls. 1t was
a sweet and gracious act, and
the generous donor was Mrs.
j. d. Lineberger.
Jasper Guiton. colored, one
Of the pOrters at the Shelby
hotel, found ladies' gold watch
on the sidewalk opposite
the residence Of E.. Y.
Webb, Esq. With commend
able honesty he began to make
inquiries, and at last found the
owner to be one Of the newly
arrived guests Of the College
hotel.
The dummy engine on the
new line to Cleveland Mills
made it's initial trip Saturday
afternoon, Engineer I. w.
Tucker at the throttle. The
trip was made without Incl
dent, and just as early as prac-
ticable the regular schedule
will begin.
Chief Of Police Charlie
Russell, Of Kings Mountain,
was here last week, bringing
with him a white man who was
jailed on the charge Of stealing
a watch and some clocks from

A NORMAL SCHOOL FOR Blow.

Boone Democrat, Sept. eth.
The election for local option
in Blue Ridge township, that
was to have come off on the
9th ult. proved d great failure,
The judges were on the ground
at the proper time for opening
the polls, but none Of them had
taken the oath, and before the
services Of a magistrate could
be procured, it was we'll up in
the morning, and the election
was declared off by some of the
"wets" in the township, as
they declared the polls had to
be open from sun up until sun
down. The election failed and
the good people of the township
will have to wait two years
longer before they can have
another lick at the whiskey ser
pent.
The fund for the Normal
School enterprise at Blowing
Rock continues to grow. 1t
has now passed the 81 900 mark
and it is thought the remainder
Of the money required can be
raised. This is a great enter
prise for that hustling town,
and will be another strong
spoke in her wheel of progress.
The local option election at
Blowing Rock came off on last
Thursday and carried for local
option in the township by 81
majority, there being only four
votes cast for the continuation
of the liquor traffic there.
