Gastonia Gazette, November 21: The
Raleigh correspondence Of the Char
lotte Observer in Saturdays issue con-
tains the following item of news which
will be of interest to many Gastonians:
"Mr. w. F. Marshall who recently sold
the Gastonia Gazette. is here and will
for a time do editorial and special
work on the Progressive Farmer. He
is a native of this county, his former
home having been Wake Forest, and
he is a valuable addition to the staff
of the paper. 80. Mrs. E. G. Wilson
yesterday began moving from Spencer
Mountain to Gastonia. Together with
her niece Miss Elizabeth Rankin, she
will occupy the ]. F'lem Johnson resi-
dence on South street which she re-
Gently purchased. Mrs. Wilson and her
niece have many friends in Gastonia
and they are welcome additions to the
social life of the town. 80. Since the
last issue Of the Gazette, Mr.. A. j.
Smith, register of deeds, has granted
marriage licenses to the following per-
sons: Mr.. Raymond Nance and Miss
Maude Randell. both Of Gastonia; Mr..
julius O'Daniel and Miss Susie Auten
OF the county; Mr.. Reuben Reeves and
Miss Reelia Wilkinson of McAden-
vile: Mr. T. o. Thomas Of Pineville,
and Miss Beula Quinn Of Cas-
tonia: and Mr.. George l.. West of
Stanley and Miss Ethel NJ. Withers of
Dallas .Reassuring news was had
yesterday from Mr.. Sidney Cornwell
of Grouse, who was shot and seriously
injured little over two weeks ago by
Mr.. Clifford Aderholt. Four shots took
effect, one Of them piercing lung, and
for a time the prospects for his recov-
cry were not so bright. The shooting
occurred at a cornshucking. Ader-
holdt, 1t seems, knocked a cigarette
from Cornwell's mouth, following which
the latter struck the aggressor. Ader-
holdt, it is said. returned to his home,
secured a pistol, and meeting Cornwell
in the road, proceeded to fire at him
with the results as stated above. The
wounded man is twenty-three years OF
age while his assailant Is only seven
teen. Both are we'll connected in the
Grouse section and the difficulty is de-
plored by the friends of both. .... The
Gastonia Lutheran church will be ded-
icated Sunday morning at IL o'clock
The dedicatory sermon will be preached
by Rev. w. A. Deaton, formerly of this
county but now field missionary for
the church with headquarters at Hick-
Dry. This occasion is one of which the
members of this congregation may just
ly feel proud. The entire debt which
has been hanging over the church
since its completion six years ago has
been entirely wiped out. The original
though ii would doubtless cost $4,000
or $1,000 to duplicate the building al
the present time. All of Gastonia, re-
gardless of denomination, joins this
congregation in rejoicing over the Ii
quotation of the Indebtedness and the
dedication of their house Of worship
Under the pastOrate Of Rev. John Hall
who is greatly in favor with his people
it has prospered and will continue to
prosper. ... When Mr.. ]. Lee Robin
son of the firm of Robinson Bros stop
ped in the store en- route home from
church Sunday just after noon, he dis
covered James Foley. a sixteen-year-
old negro, concealed under one Of the
counters, coatless and shoeless, evil
IDENTIFY prepared to make way with
some goods. Policeman Wiley Carroll
was called in and Foley was placed in
the city lookup on a charge of larceny.
He was taken to Dallas yesterday by
i officer Carroll to stand trial. The ne
gro. who is employed in tailor shop
on the second floor of the Robinson
building, had climbed over partitions
and, by a devious route, made his way
into the store. He has an unsavory
reputation. having been into similar
trouble on more than one occasion be-
fore. He will doubtless find himself
on the chain gang before court ad-
journs.
