Emily Cleveland, colored, died
at the home Of her son, Milton Cleve-
land, near Walhalla, last Saturday
morning about 3 o'clock She was
nf Al
sibly the oldest Of her race in these
parts. Her husband, Greene Cleye-
land, died about ten years ago, and
it was claimed for him that he was
about 110 years old. Emily Cleye-
land was slightly younger than
Greene, and it has been stated that
she was nearing the 120-year mark,
but this Is evidently incorrect, though
she was doubtless nearly or slightly
more than 100 years old. Her young
est child if living would be about
forty-two years old Emily was
good, kind old darkey, and not a few
Of the people Of this section remem-
ber the 'Old nanny" as she was
years ago when she frequently made
business visits to town. Hel body
was buried at Flat Rock Sunday, fu-
neral services having been conducted
at New Galilee church, Walhalla. In
her death a good old darkey has
passed away.
OF the cases heard last week IN
the Court of Common Pleas proba-
bly, the one that attracted the great
est attention locally was that of Oil
yer Hobbs vs.. municipal officers of
the town Of Westminster, & suit
brought for $4,000 damages. The
case grew out Of the handing down
OF sentence by a former mayor of
Westminster against the plaintiff IN
the damage suit, the sentence calling
for given period Of hard labor on
the streets Of that town, or the al
tentative Of paying a money fine.
The fine was not paid and the pris-
oner refused to labor hard" or to
labor at all, whereupon he was the
recipient Of number Of "superin-
ducing lashes' in an endeavor to
force him to tabor. For this treat
ment suit for damages was instituted.
AS municipality cannot be sued for
| a tort, the action was brought
against the mayor Of Westminster
and members OF council as individ-
uals. After the close of arguments
on both sides Of the case, the jury
returned in very few minutes with
a verdict favorable to the defendants
and refusing damages to plaintiff.
About 2 o'clock Monday morn
ing fire was discovered in ware
room on the farm OF NJ. r. Hughs
near town. When first seen the
building was practically destroyed
one end having been completely con-
sumed, and the flames were making
rapid hcadway. The building was
quite close to the fIughs residence,
but the blinds to the home were
closed and the flames could not be
seen. One end Of the building was
