pleased with his position. Mr.. j. Z.
Poag is lying very seriously Ill with
Bright's disease at his home In the
eastern part of the city. AS we go TO
press we learn that he died yesterday
at noon. Miss Ola Barron went to
Statesville, N. c., to be present to-
night at the marriage Of her school,
mate, Miss Mamie Miller, of that
town, and Mr.. Sherry Bonner, OF Ala
bama. The mayor imposed fines
aggregating s54 at the Monday morn
ing's matinee. They were mostly Tor
d. and d. The police are vigilant and
are giving the Sunday topers "A time
of it,. The Herald Is in receipt OF
an invitation to attend the marriage
of Miss Susie May Boney and Mr.. SAM
uel Eugene Colvin on the 26th instant
at the home of the bride in Spartan
burg. Miss Boney is we'll known IN
this city, where her girlhood was spent.
The members Of the city council
are much gratified that so far there
has been no apparent disposition to Vlo-
late the ordinance prohibiting the
shooting Of fireworks within certain
limits. There appeared to be urgent
necessity for such regulation, and or
course all self-respecting citizens VIII
observe it's terms and sustain the po-
lice in any attempt they may make 10
enforce the law.......A silken flag
made by Miss Anna Cureton, now Mrs.
T. H. w. Stevens, of this city, was pre-
sented by her to CO. B, 26th N. Z. reg
iment. at Waxhaw on the 4th of July,
1861. The flag disappeared from the
tent of her brother, Captain j. L. cure
| ton, while the company was on the
field, about a mile from camp, While at
Newberne, N. C. The fact has become
known recently that one Charles Horn
ing, of Burlington, Iowa, has the nag
in his possession, but he refuses to re-
turn it to any member Of the old COM
mand which owned it without con-
sideration. He says he was once or
fered 81, 900 for it, but at that time re-
fused to sell. The st. Louis Republic
has published the following description
of the flag: "It is made of heavy SILK,
with handsome gold fringe, and has
hand painted lettering. In the center
is the seal Of the Confederate States
painted in oil. On the reverse side, the
flag bears the words, 'WaxhaW ano
Jackson Greys' One ragged edge sug-
gests that the banner was torn from
Its staff hurriedly and in the neat OF
battle. Although more than S5 years
old the flag retains all its original
beauty Of coloring and texture, having
been exposed to the light OF day no'
more than three times within the last
SO years." It is claimed that the regl-
ment to which this company was at
tached, has one of the brightest rec
ords of any troops in the civil war. In
the battle of Gettysburg, the regiment
lost Sc men killed and SOP wounded, ou'
of a total 800 on the field. This was
the heaviest regimental loss, on eithel
side in the civil war. Company l.
. with 81 men on the field, lost TWO
thirds of it's number by death and eV'
cry man was wounded.
