Erected by his friends, July, 1902
On Tuesday night preceding the
finding Of the infant on the platform
of the Southern's warehouse, as men
toned in The Lantern some time ago,
a man and woman came to Mrs. Con-
nelly's boarding house and engaged
rooms. The man was tall, rather sad
face, dark hair, dark skin and dressed
very neatly. The woman was IL years
old, dark hair, fair skin, rather below
medium height. Mrs. Connolly thinks
they came on the Seaboard. They said
they were from Atlanta and that the
man was broker and that they were
on their way to Concord, N. c. They
kept closely in their room, and the
baby which they had with them was
never allowed to be seen. The room
was kept darkened, thereby preventing
anyone from seing the child plainly.
They left Wednesday night, but did
not buy tickets of the agent. One OF
the servants recognized the baby that
was found as the Same one that had
been at Mrs. Connelly's, mainly by the
child's clothes. The woman told Mrs.
Connolly that the baby was three weeks
old. 49,. Mrs. Martha Mcdowell, died
at the county home, Monday, Septem-
her 29th, and was buried at Armenia.
She had a leg broken two months ago,
and did not recover from the effects.
We have an ear, or cluster OF
ears, Of that Mexican June corn of Mr..
Eli Cornwells which was mentioned
in a previous Issue. There Is medium
sized ear with three smaller ones COM
ing out from the same base and lying
closely against it nearly the whole
length. The main ear has corn all
round, but the smaller ones appear as
if they had been split so as to fit the
main ear. We are not informed wheth-
er this is the form of the ears generally
or not The bottom Of the reservoir
at Sandy River has been concreted and
work on the walls will begin Monday.
