Deaths.

Mr. Samuel Walden of Bronston, died a few days since.

John Lay, an aged man of Norwood, died last Saturday night of chronic diarrhea.

Uncle Steve Claunch, an aged as well as a much respected colored man of this town, died Monday night.  Uncle Steve was one of the best examples of pure humility and meekness and genuine courtesy the writer ever knew.

Dr. Stephen D. Yerkes, father of Hon. John W. Yerkes, for many years a leader in educational matters in this State, and occupying a prominent position in connection with the Danville Theological Seminary, is dead, died a few days since.  A useful citizen and a good man has gone to his reward.

Jennie, wife of Rufus Ashurst, died at the family residence in this city Monday morning at 1:30 o'clock, after a short illness of pneumonia, aged 26
years.  She was a daughter of Jas. G. and E.A. Cox.  Besides the grief stricken husband, she leaves to mourn her loss a loving mother and two children, Nina, seven years of age, and Hugh, one year old.  The remains were interred at Soule's Chapel burying ground.

Tinsley Mershon, who has been sick for nearly two years with consumption of the bowels and a hip trouble, breathed his last at 8:30 Monday morning.  He was conscious up to his death and having made peace with his Maker, he had frequently expressed his willingness to meet Him in the great beyond.  Mr. Meshon was 27 years old and was an unusually clever and good hearted young man.  Until the dread disease began to gnaw at his vitals he worked hard to help support his widowed mother, Mrs. Gran C. Mershon, and sisters, who are now bowed down with grief over their loss.  At ten o'clock this Tuesday morning, the remains will be taken to Buffalo Cemetery where after short services at the grave by Rev. W.S. Grinstead, they will be laid to rest. Interior Journal.

Millsville.  J.W. Baugh sold to Abe Wolf six head of fat cattle and three fat hogs.  Anyone having a horse to swap would do well to come this way as we have a preacher in the business.  Pitman Creek has been on a boom for the last week.  Sam Mill's mill came very near being washing away last Thursday night. He is repairing the damage.  Someone would do well to come to this neighborhood and put up a first class store and attend strictly to business, as people now have to go to Somerset for nearly everything.  No services at any of the churches last Sunday.  Why is it we can not have preaching every Sunday?  Three good churches and only have preaching once a month at any of them and still we have people that claim to be sanctified

Town and Country.  We regret to hear of the serious illness of Mr. John Newell, of Bronston. 
Pulaski has fifty post offices, a dozen more than any other county of the State.

  Call on Dr. C.V. Mallory at his new dental rooms over Bartell's jewelry store, where he is better prepared than ever to do all gold work and everything in the art of dentistry. 
Mr. John Staples, car repairer for the railway here, was seriously injured a few days ago by having a jack to slip and thereby letting a car drop upon his hand, crushing several bones, causing injuries that will put him off duty for some time, but it is to be hoped that the permanent injury will not be very great. 

Dr. J.M. Owens was called in great haste one day last week to visit a patient west of town.  When he arrived he found a boy covered up in bed swearing vigorously, with a steel-trap holding him by the nose.  The boy had been monkeying with the trap and got caught.  His nose was found to be broken when the doctor released him.  Burnside Item.

Had To Take Water.  Last Sunday the good people of King's Mountain vicinity were given a big dose of ice water, to an extent that they had not prepared for and that was not altogether pleasant or profitable.  A dark cloud having gathered over that fair little city, its contents condensed into big drops, which were sent earthward, but they, passing through a Manitoban current of the air, did not reach the house tops of Kingsville until they had frozen and gathered into hailstones about the size of hens' eggs, and reports say that the ratter-clatter of the hail was terrible for a few minutes.  The hail was awful to stock as well as to people who were exposed to it, and even seeing and hearing it was awe-inspiring.  The damage done consisted principally in the smashing of window glass, some houses, it is said, not having a glass left.  The sheet of water that came before and after the hail is said to have been almost a deluge.

Religious.  Preaching at Johnston's Hall next Sunday by Geo. A. Klingman.  Geo A. Klingman preached at Louisville Sunday and Sunday night.  We understand that Geo. Klingman organized a congregation of forty members at Burnside and put them in working order.  Mr. John Golden of Burnside made no charge for the use of his hall by Mr. Klingman during his protracted meeting at that place.  Mr. Hilton's meeting at the Christian Church is likely to continue several days yet.  His audiences are large, and there have been some accessions to the church.
