YORK.
Rock Hill Herald, June IL: On the
first day of July, as per recent order,
the Rock Hill postoffice will be advanc-
| ed to second class, the salary Of the
postmaster being $4,000. Rock Hill will
step up into the place that Columbia
has just stepped out of, that office hav-
ing been advanced to first-class.. ......
Mr.. Isaac Costner, the ferryman at
Wright's ferry, died Monday morning
of heart disease, Of which he had been
a sufferer. He and his family had
quite a thrilling experience three weeks
ago, when the raging Catawba sur
rounded their home in the night time,
and the next morning they had to take
refuge in a fiat boat, chained to tree,
where they remained all day before
| they could be rescued. We under
stand that Mr.. Ed P. Steele, while on
Carothers' island in the Catawba river,
few days ago, found skeleton of a
man, evidently that of an Indian. 1t
had been washed out of the ground by
the high waters. Mr.. Steele now has
the lower jaw bone and several teeth.
| .....In a letter to the postmaster in
| this city, the second assistant post
| master indicates, but does not say so In
so many words, that the petition OF the
citizens of Rock Hill, asking for the es-
tablishment of a box at the Southern
depot where letters may be mailed and
taken up by the route agents, will IN
all probability be granted. Elliott
Marshall, one Of our best colored citl-
zens, died Monday. About three
months ago he received injuries from
which he never recovered, although he
did not quit his work until recently.
In backing the horse he was driving he
was caught between his wagon and
the depot platform and was severely
crushed. We understand that he had
about 25 hemorrhages within the ten
days before his death. He was in the
employ Of the Rock Hill Supply COM
pany.
