JONESVllLE HAPPENINGS.
A Breezy Letter Regarding The Peo.
pie of Our Sister Town.

Jopcsville, Sept. 4th. Tho heavy
rains last week did considerable
damage to lands and crops in this
community, and the streets and
sidewalks and the new factory build
ing suffered Il great deal. Farmers
are put to 1T about saving their hay
and fodder and the cotton is rott
ing where it is very large. But lit
tie cotton is yet opened, so the
picking will begin later than usual.
MIR. Jno. d. Jeffrics, Jr. sold a
lot of cotton last week that he had
been holding for a good price, but
he lost considerable money. There
were 1O3 bales in the lot.and the
price realized was ten cents. While
Mr.. Jctfries was hauling his cotton
to Joncsville one wagon that had
SIX bales on it, ran over both his
legs, but strange to say no bones
were broken and Mr.. Jeffries is 60
ing about attending to his business.
He was holding to the cotton on
hill side to keep it from turning
over and he tripped, falling between
the wheels.

was a washout on the railroad that
cut him off from Asheville and he
went round by Bristol and Lynch

Friday the day after his father was
buried. The young mans grief
was SO great that he did not eat a

ceivcd the sad news until he arrived
