News, November 3: Mr.. A. B. Lind
say of East End, was severely bitten on
the leg and hand one afternoon this
week by the watch dog of his neighbor,
Mr.. Leonard Caskey. Mr.. Lindsay
does not blame the dog at all-says 1t
was his own fault that the animal at
tackled him. Mrs. Nettie Stevens, the
aged mother Of Mr.. Fred Stevens, died
at the latter's home, on Mr. John J.
Blackmon's plantation east Of Lancas-
ter, last Wednesday morning. She had
been sick for some time. She was a
daughter of the late David Stevens
and a sister Of Mrs. Joel Outen Of this
place. She was about thirty-five years
old. The burial was at Zion church,
Rev. Mr.. Henry conducting the funeral
services. Henry Magill, the negro
recently brought by Sheriff Hunter
from wadesboro, N. c.. on requisition
papers, has been admitted to bail in
the sum of $500, John Tyler Fraser, a
we'll to- do colored citizen of Flat Creek,
being his bondsman. The order for
bail was granted this week by Judge
Prince, in Chester, under habeas cor
pus proceedings. Magill was repre-
sented by r. E. Wylie, Esq. The
many friends of Mr.. ]. Willie Caskey,
formerly of this county, but now
prominent young architect and builder
in Georgia, will regret to learn that he
is quite i'll with typhoid fever, at his
home In Athens, that state. His faith
er, Mr.. ]. D. Caskey Of the New Cut
section Of Lancaster, is at his sons
bedside.
CHESTER.
Lantern, November 3: Wednesday
while Mr.. ]. P. Yandle was tearing
the shingle roof of Solicitor ]. K. Hen
RVS house to put on a slate roof, he
found away back under the roof near
the boxing a large square bottle, like
a pickle bottle, corked and sealed, and
on examination 1t was found to be full
of coffee-the berries-which seemed
to have retained its aroma perfectly
1t is probable that If the Rev. or Mrs.
L. C. Hinton were living they could ex-
plain the matter, but in their absence
1t is pretty safe to suppose that the
bottle, doubtless with many other ar
ticles, was secreted in the garret In an
ticipation OF raid by Sherman's
army, and that 1t was overlooked or
forgotten when other articles were re-
moved from their hiding place. Coffee
was very precious in those days and
hits probably ran the blockade. That
was more than forty-one years ago,
and the Rev. L c. Hinton owned and
occupied the house at that time. .....
Mr.. VIM. @. Nichols and family left
yesterday afternoon over the Southern
for theid New England home. Regret
at their departure is general and sin
cere. Many of our citizens were at the
station to bid them adieu, and many
tears attested the strong ties by which
they were bound. Many others would
doubtless have seen them off IL they
had understood that they would leave
on that train. Mr.. i. M. Ward has
resigned the superintendency Of the
Springstein mill to take effect the 18th
instant. He has no plans yet for the
future but 1t is expected his family will
be here for some time. Mr.. Frank
Richardson, who had the supervision
of the weave room, resigned Monday to
take effect at once, and Mr.. Thompson
of Charlotte Is here to take his place.
