From the Lumberton Robesonian: The body of Charles ALLEN, a well known colored man, was discovered in Lumber River, where Trade street ditch empties into the river. He has been missing since last Tuesday, and as he was last seen in an intoxicated condition near the spot where his dead body was found this morning, it is supposed that he has been there ever since.

We had in type at time of fire and which would have appeared the following Tuesday the death of Mrs. Margaret McKinnon KRIDER. We clip the following in regard to her death from the North Carolina Presbyterian:
KRIDER – In Salisbury, N.C., January 2, 1897, Mrs. Margaret McKinnon KRIDER, widow of the late Sheriff Charles C. KRIDER, in the 62d year of her age.
Mrs. KRIDER was a native of St. Paul’s, Robeson county, N.C., the daughter of the late John C. and Catherine G. McKINNON, born January 5, 1835. She finished her education in Edgeworth Seminary, Greensboro, with the late Prof. Richard STERLING. and early in life became a member of St. Paul’s church.
She was married to Mr. C.C. KRIDER June 27, 1859, and removed to his home in Rowan county, where she resided 22 years. Mr. KRIDER being a prominent citizen, as elder of Third Creek church, his house was a popular resort for many visitors; she dispensed a cheerful hospitality, was a kind and obliging neighbor and a willing church worker.
When Mr. KRIDER became sheriff in 1881, the family moved to Salisbury and became members of the First Presbyterian church. In their new home she exercised a large hospitality towards her country friends and won the esteem and friendship of her new neighbors as well. She was an unassuming Christian woman who loved her Savior, her church, her pastor and her Christian friends, and her friendly greeting and womanly cordiality will be missed by her many friends.
She had been slightly indisposed for sometime, but no serious apprehension was felt for her until about 21 hours before her death, when she was seized with convulsions and lapsed into an unconsciousness from which she never recovered, but her consistent Christian life ensures us that it is well with her now.
Her home was cheered by six children, four of whom survive to mourn over her removal from earth. — Pastor

Mrs. E.J. McRAE was painfully injured by a cow last Sunday morning. The cow, which had a young calf, rushed at Mrs. McRAE and threw her against the fence with such violence as to fracture her left arm near her shoulder. Dr. McNATT set the broken limb soon after the occurrence, but later it was found that there was another fracture above the first and it was attended to by Drs. McNATT and BROOM. It is hoped that she may soon rally from the shock.

The fire destroyed our notice of the marriage of Mr. Duncan McNAIR, of the S.A.L., formerly of Maxton, to Miss Mary TERRY, of Hamlet, which took place in that village week before last. They were given a reception at Mr. and Mrs. D.L. STEWART’s, which was attended by Misses Lucy AYDALOTT and Bessie McNAIR, of this place. We wish for our friend and his accomplished bride all happiness and usefulness possible in life.
