Miss Lola Turner, a handsome
young lady about 19 yenrs of age,
has boon missing from her home
since yesterday. She left her
home at Clifton in the afternoon*
saying to a young lady friend thnt
she would not be seen again
in this part of the country. Mr.
C. A. Tumor, father of the missing
young lady, is distracted with
grief, and being a man of meuns,
has set all forces to work in an effort
to locate the truaut maiden.
Why Miss Turner loft her home
is something of a mystery, but it
is known that she and her father
had had some slight misunderstanding.
The girl has been given
i every advantage and her every
j wish had boon gratified save one,
\ but that probably had greatly to
do with her sensational disappearance.
Mr. Turner seldom
allowed his daughter the society
of gentlemen ftiends. Several
persons saw the young lady leave
home on the electric car yesterday,
bound for Spartanburg, but
this attracted no attention, as she
had been in the custom of coming
to me city to make purchases.
The missing girl is 19 years of
age, 5 feet 2 Inches in height and
weighs 115 pounds. She has
light hair and blno eyes, fair
complexion and line figure. She
bears a slight scar on the uppefr
lip, somewhat to one side of her
nose.
The girl's father has offered a
reward off 100 for information
which will assist in finding his
daughter.
No foul play is suspected.
