CHESTER.
Lantern, March II: Mr.. John Lucas,
Of Choctaw county, Miss, died a few
days ago, aged about 81 years. Mr..
Lucas was a native Of this county and
left here soon after the war. He was
a member of company F, Sixth regi-
ment. He prospered in his adopted
state and educated his children, some
of whom, at least, are in professional
callings. :. We were glad to see Mr.. c.
]. Moore in town Saturday. He was IN
town Wednesday also, which was the
first time since he was paralyzed. He
can walk fairly we'll, though his left
side is considerably affected. Mr..
j. N. Hardin, who was very sick at
Stevenson, Fairfield county, where he
is farming, after spending some time
at home recuperating intended to re-
turn to his farm yesterday, but his
physician discovered Saturday that he
had some stomach trouble, which will
keep him at home at least a month
longer and may require an operation.
His brother Eli Is managing his busi-
ness in his absence. Mr.. T. L. Eber-
hardt, Of Raleigh, has bought a lot
from Mr.. M. A. Carpenter on which to
erect an ice plant, and has given Mr..
Carpenter the contract for the build
ing, and preparations are already In
progress for the work. Mr.. Eberhardt
has ordered the machinery, which Will
be the very latest improved and best
made. The plant will be Of twelve
tons capacity. We are informed that
Mr.. Eberhardt Is practical man, hav-
ing experience in the ice business, as
well as with machinery in general.
The location Of the ice factory is that
occupied by two or three Negro cabins
in the depression between the Oil mill
and the tank Of the Standard Oil COM
pany, and alongside the Southern rail-
way track.

Of Mrs. M. L. Smith, at Glover. She
went to Yorkville yesterday where she
will visit friends for several days..
Mr.. r. w. Adams, formerly Of Gasto-
MIA, but now with the Yorkville Elec-
trio Light company, was in the city
yesterday. While he may or may
not be out of reach Of the smallpox,
Mr.. C. E. Rhyme appears to be safely
out Of the immediate reach of the vac
cinating authorities of Gastonia. We
have reliable information that he made
his way to Cherryville and there
boarded the train for the west. He
may have stopped in Asheville or he
may have gone on across the noun
