CHEROKEE.
Gaffney Ledger, March 20: Mrs. Bell,
of Yorkville, is visiting her son, Capt.
J. B. Bell. Joseph r. Carter, loom
flxer, who was at work at the Sampson
mill, died very suddenly Tuesday night
at nine o'clock. His death was due to
appoplexy. Mr.. Carter was at work
when the summons came. He became
sick and following the advice Of others
went home and summoned a physician.
Despite the efforts of the physician he
died in a few hours. The many
friends Of Mr.. Sam @. Sarratt will re-
gret to learn that on Wednesday af-
ternoon he fell from his wagon and
broke his left arm between the wrist
and elbow. He was attended by DR..
Jefferies, who set the injured limo,
and we are glad to state that Mr.. Sar-
ratt was comfortable and getting along
as we'll as could be expected at last ac-
count. Mr. Sarratt, though somewhat
advanced in age, is full Of energy,
takes things philosophically and will
overcome the effects of a broken arm
as rapidly as the next man.
