by the Glover Cotton mill and about
which so much was said in the news.
papers sometime ago. In color the
sample looks as if it had been raised
on an old red bill, but bas a long fiber
and a silky appearance. At the time
it was bought it sold for IA cents a
pound. Now it will bring 16 cents.
The yarn is very pretty and it sells for
40 cents a pound. A Philadelphia
broker was in Clover recently, and he
said that Clover Cotton Manufacturing

spun by the Williamantic people. The
cotton comes in bales weighing from
700 to 900 pounds. 1.-THE new library

has been our duty to record, is that of
Mrs. T. w. Kendrick, of Kings Noun
tain. Mrs. Kendrick died Tuesday
afternoon between 2 and 3 o'clock.
Her remains were taken to her home
in New Hampshire for interment. Mr..
Kendrick was for several months pre-
scription clerk in the drug store of j.
f. Curry & Co., and has many friends
here who will sympathize with him in
his Affections. Just few months ago
he brought his bride from her northern

more pathos? Think of the sadness
of it!
