moved out in the country some three
miles, and completely isolated. We
think it safe to say that our citizens in
the town and county need have no
further fears, besides the disease seems
to be confined exclusively to the Ne.

A young man by the name of kiser
was struck and instantly killed by the
west bound Seaboard passenger, near
Lincolnton, Sunday morning. The
sad tragedy seems to have been the
result of criminal negligence upon the
part of the deceased. From best in
formation obtainable, it seems that the
unfortunate young man was walking
the railway track with companion,
and upon the approach of the train
remarked that he "expected to make
the engineer blow for him before be
got off the track" The engineer did
blow the danger signal, but unfortu-
nately, Kiser delayed too long and in

His body was not mangled but he
was killed instantly. We learn that be

being by profession carpenter.
Kings Mountain Oracle, April, 25:
One of our merchants had to explain
before Captain J. w. Brown one day
last week why he did it. 1t appeared
that small boy and his mother went
into his store to make some purchases,
and while the mother was looking at
some pants for her young hopeful, he,
unmindful of the consequences, turned
the spigot to the molasses barrel,
thereby causing loss of saccharine
fluid. The ire of the merchant was
reused, and he proceeded to admins
ter corporeal punishment to the small
boy, whereupon the mother summoned
him to explain why he administered
correction to her son, when she offered
to paw for the molasses. The mer-
chant explained before Captain Brown
in the sum of So and costs amounting
to some S6.
