was removed to the Gastonia Inn and
is getting along quite comfortably.
Gastonia is to have Catholic church
in the near future, the contract Tor
the erection of the edifice having al
ready been let to Mr.. E. H. Overcash,
of Charlotte. The structure Is to be
frame builo.ng with seating capacity
of $50, and is to cost about $500.
September 1st Is the date fixed by the
| contract for the completion or the
church. The plans were furnished by
the architectural department of ST.
Mary's college, at Belmont. ..Drs
w. M. Love, of McConnellsville, and
r. A. Bratton, Of Yorkville, passed
through yesterday morning enroute to
Spartanburg to attend the State Medf-
cal association now in session In that
city. The little son Of Mr. and Mrs.
Is. B. Sparrow, was painfully burned
Saturday. While the mother was out
feeding the chickens the little fellow
went to the cooking stove and pulled
the chunks of fire out on the floor.
His screams attracted his mother, who
found his clothing on fire. She quick
lily rescued the little fellow but not un-
til his arm and legs were considerably
burned. Dr. Patrick does not think
the burns are serious though they are
quite painful. Two Of the most
prominent and Dopular young people
of Cherryville Will unite their hands
and hearts next Thursday afternoon.
They are Mr.. E. A. Rudisill and Miss
Ava Dellinger. The groom Is son of
Mr.. Mel Rudisll, and the bride is the
accomplished daughter Of the late Lee
Dellinger. They will be married at the
brides home by Rev. r. H. Cline at
Is o'clock p. m. and will leave immedi-
ately for the Charleston exposition. -.
Quite a large crowd Of the curious
gathered at the freight depot Tuesday
Afternoon to witness the unloading of
the whisky captured by the revenue
officers at the still Of Mr.. John M.
Wood at Pleasant Ridge. There were
40 barrels, containing in all some
1000 gallons, together with the worms
and other apparatus pertaining to the
manufacture Of the juice. Ti.is was,
perhaps the largest quantity of whis-
ky ever seen by the majority of the
manufacture Of the juice. This was.
shipped to Charlotte for sale by pub
lie auction. 1.-The gazette thinks OF
starting a museum. Last week we ac-
quired a good specimen of the red
mans flint tomahawk; this week we
have beads, pipe, skull and steel
hatchet. They were brought to us by
Mr.. Thad Clinton. They were brought
by the children few days ago from
Mr.. Dave Boyd's place on the Catawba
river just opposite Wright's ferry.
These curios were washed up by the
great freshet of last May. Large num-
bers of beads were exposed which the
children took delight in gathering and
stringing. The skull in The Gazette's
window was a part Of skeleton ex-
posed by the freshet. Across the neck
Of the skeleton was found the steel
hatchet. 1t is supposed that this steel
weapon was captured from the whites
and was greatly priced as a trophy,
Near by, was found the Indian pipe,
which is worthy Of preservation as a
perfect specimen of it's kind. The
skull is a rather grewsome curio. Near
it, was found long thigh bone. A
Mr.. Anderson, very tall man, meas
ured this bone along his own thigh
and calculated that the person who or
iginally wore the bone in his leg must
have been about seven and half feet
high. This, the tomahawk, the beads,
and the pipe gave color to the theory
that the skull is that Of some big In
dian chief. But the small size of the
skull is against this supposition. DR..
Mcconnell noticed also that the jaw
bones carried no wisdom teeth, and his
opinion is that the slender jawbones
and small head are those of young
woman. If you haven't seen the rel
les, take a peep at them as you pass
the window, just as numbers Of peo-
pie have done. The stone tomahawk.
as we noted in last issue, was plowed
up in Mr.. Will Gallant's garden here
in town. The other relics came from
Mr.. Body's place on the river.
