~"A remarkable appearance was OBJ
served high up in the heavens. last
Wednesday afternoon by the family of
Mr.. A. P. Robinson, who lives about
two miles north of town. Their atten-
ton was first attracted by the shout
ings of a negro woman in the yard.
She had discovered a large bright star
in broad open daylight. Then two dis
tinct moons appeared, and something
like a large kite came in sight. But
this was not all. A distinct full-sized
windmill was seen floating through
the air with large dog following. All
these appearances had enormous tails
as if to balance them and all were
travelling westward. Mrs. Robinson
watched the apparition, or whatever
it was, as long as it was visible. The
old colored woman was too frightened
to observe long and put in the time by
singing, praying and shouting. 1--WE
have several times urged the building
of a cotton seed oil mill at this place.
At last the project begins to take def
mite shape. Major B. F. Miller and
Mr.. w. J. Cunningham are interesting
themselves in the enterprise, and all
who expect to be fortunate enough to
secure stock in it should notify one or
the other of these gentlemen at once
as to what amount of stock he wishes
to subscribe for. The capital stock
will probably not be more than $685.

account of which appeared in our last
issue, was found near Stanley, on last
Thursday morning, by Messrs. Brown

put him in buggy and brought him
to Gastonia. The account we pub

He was probably Hungarian but
his name could not authentlcally be
ascertained as he could speak no word
of English. He had lost his ticket in
his wanderings. 1t is presumed that
his people, to whom he is going, live
