CHESTER-The Lantern, August

Brawley is spending while in the
CITY with his brother, Mr.. J. NJ. Braw'
|ley. Miss Josie Black, who only
few weeks ago left Chester and who
is now living in Rock Hill, came to
the city yesterday. .'''''''''"The many
friends of Mrs. S. B. Stevenson, for
merly of Blackstock, will be sorry to
hear of her death. She died at her
home in Winnsboro last Friday. She
leaves three small children. An in.
FAINT, born the day before her death,
lived but a short time. Mrs. Steven
son was a daughter of the late John
K. McCarley. .''.'''"Last Friday night
q quarrel occurred between two ope-
ratiyes at the Eureka mills, which re-
suited rather seriously. The trouble
was between two night operatives,
Roofe and Quinton. What caused the
fray we have not heard; but knives
were drawn and freely used by both
parties. Both men suffered seriously,
Roofe having cut 81 or % inches
long across his back, and Quinton an
ugly stab in his elbow joint and the
muscle of one arm laid open. The
trouble ended as such matters usually
do. in painful and serious hurts. '''''''.'
Mr.. r. F. Kilgo and his son, W. r.
Kilgo, are in town this morning. They
had the misfortune Sunday night to
have their barn burned, with 1000
bundles of fodder, nearly all their
wheat straw, wagon and other farming
utensils. They got the live stock out
and were both severely burned trying
to save the wagon. The barn was
nearly new and was large and valuable.
There was $3.50 insurance on the
building and some additional on farm
ing utensils; but the loss was four
times as much. They cannot account
for the fire unless it was the work OF
an incendiary.
CHEROKEE-The Gaffney Ledger,
August Z: Mr.. M. D. Porter died at
his home in this city last Thursday.
Mr.. Porter was in his 42nd year. He
was born at Limestone but had lived
nearly all his life in Greenville and
Union counties. 1.-THE city was some
what surprised last Wednesday when
the firm of Beason & Holland failed
to open its doors for business. Inquiry
developed the fact that the affairs
of the firm we're not on as firm a
foundation as the friends of the firm
would have liked for them to be.
The closing of the doors was pre-
cipitated by Mr.. Holland, who in
sisted that the business be wound up.
1t is believed that the firm will be able
to pay all of its obligations and that
no one will be seriously hurt by the
failure. Both Mr.. Beason and Mr..
Holland were out Of the city when a
Ledger representative endeavored to
see them to get statement. No as
signee has as yet been appointed; but
it is expected that the business will be
brought to close in few days. .''''''.'
