A phenomenon in the heavens was 1
witnessed by quite a number of our citizens
Monday night. It was a cloud in
the shape of a mammoth tunnel with the ;
small end near the earth. It traveled <
from west to east at a very rapid speed 1
?bad an ashv appearance and seemed !
to bo propelled by some extraordinary <
force. Some pronounced it a cyclone ; (
but it did not touch anywhere around j

We are sorry to learn that Mr. J. J. 1

in the carriage of the saw mill of '
Yaughan and Odell, about three miles '
south of town, and had one of his arms I
badly lacerated but no liones were broken.

We overheard tho following conver.si- I
lion last Monday between a customer i
and one of our large merchants :

The town and county lias lost one
of her best citizens in the death of
Mr. W. T. Graham, last Monday
night, in his Gist year. While the community
was grieved to know the
avenging angel had again come into
our midst, they were not surprised,
for Mr. Graham had been a patient
sulTerer for several months, and were
prepared to hear the worst at any
time.
Mr. Graham came to make his
home among us in 1STI, entering the
grocery business with Mr. O. IJ. II.
Graham, under the firm name of
Graham and Graham, whom he subsequently
bought out and after continuing
the business for some time
alone, backed his stepson in the firm
of Graham & Sparks. Ho was never
an aspirant for political honors but j
served the town faithfully as alderman
for three years and as Intendant '

in a great measure, to him that the 1

a cotton mill. On July UOth the

Now is a good time for the Board
of Health inspector to make a tour
of the town. In several localities
there aro most unsavory odors after
snndown, that should bo disinfected
before they cause some serious spell
of fever. The excellent health of the
town testifies to the good work of the
Board in the past year or two but let
it continue, don't get indifferent.
Clean out the pest producing holes
and get the town in good shape.
