The city council is erecting a tower
in the center of the crossing of Wayne

completed above it to the height of

is to be hoped that it will be orna
mental as well as useful.

F 1 ?!? T KA , complimentary to
M s ? ® a ^ le Fleming of Athens, who
is visiting her sister, Mrs. Dr. Calla
way, was given by Mrs. L. N. Calla-
way on Friday evening last. We
learn that the pink costumes and dec
orations of the ladies who presided at
the reception of the guests and of a
few of the guests who appeared in
that color, were strikingly beautiful
The time was from 8 to 10 p. m., and
the affair was much enjoyed by the
large number of ladies and gentlemen
present on this brilliant occasion. The
supper was elegant in all its appoint
ments. Altogether, a more pleasant
social event has rarely occurred in our
city.
The friends of Mrs. Judge A. C. Av
ery of Morganton, N. C., says the
Richmend State will be grieved to
hear of her death in that place on
Wednesday morning last after a long
illness. Her sister, Mrs. General T.
J. Jackson of this city, arrived in
time to be with her at the end.
The lady, whose decease is mention
ed above, was also the sister of Mrs.
Gen. D. H. Hill of this city.
Progressive Euchre Party.
On last Wednesday evening by in
vitation of Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Mc-
Comb, a number of their numerous
friends assembled to indulge in the
fascinating game of Euchre. After
the prizes were delivered, which by
the w T ay was something unusual, the
same lady, Mrs. S. C. Jones, winning
both at the head and foot table, the
guests partook of the refreshments
so lavishly spread by the inimitable
hostess. 'It would indeed take an
Epicurian pen to do this part of the
entertainment justice, suffice it to say
it was simply elegant, and enjoyed to
the fullest extent by those who were
so fortunate as to be present.
Both Mr. and Mrs. McComb de
serve the warm appreciation of those
who delight in the social pleasure of
life, as they use every effort to make
those happy w r ith whom they are
thrown in social, private, and public
life.
The Euchre Party of the 31st of
Marcli will long remembered by those
who were present. B.
A negro named Gus Brown, living
at J. H. Goodson’s in this county,
was charged in Hancock county with
theft, and Capt. Ennis, our Sheriff,
went to arrest him. He refused at
first to surrender, but ft lick over the
head from the Sheriff’s pistol brought
him to terms. As Capt. Ennis went
to slip the handcuffs over his wrists,
lie renewed his resistance and after a
severe scuffle succeeded in getting
possession of the pistol, and finally
got away. Capt. Ennis suffered pret
ty severe bodily injury, and is now
very anxious to get hold of him. He
requests all civil officers to be on the
watch, and take him if possible.
The following is his description : he
is a yellow negro, 175 to 190 pounds
weight, hair shingled close, about 23
to 25 years of age and as strong as a
Kentucky mule. He carried off the
Sheriff's pistol and hat.
Mr. Wm. Bethune had a new fram
ed house out at his place in the coun
ty resting upon round blocks cut from
trees, and the wind blew so hard
against it Tuesday night that the
blocks rolled along and the house was
dumped upon the ground.
Mr. Gus Aides was seriously injur
ed by the falling of a limb from a
tree, which struck him on the head,
while cutting in the woods last Satur
day, near the home of m*- father,
Mr. Daniel Aides, in Wilkinson
county. He is not expected to recov-
er.
