Passed This Way.

The following is from last
weeks Wadesboro Ansonian:
"A very strange occurrence
happened at Norwood a few
days ago when a lady giving her
name as Mrs. Miles, accompanied
by her two children, arrived at
that place dusty and worn out.
She was carrying a baby carriage
and wagon, which contained all
their possessions. They said
they were making their way
from Robson county back to
her home in CASTOR. They had
endured the recent rains, some
times sleeping out of doors at
night. The people of Norwood
gave them decent clothes and
furnished them money to get
home. "
The above description seems
to fit some visitors to Lumberton
last week, but nothing is known
of them here.
