Beacon Flashes (October 18, 1889)

The following items are excerpted from the Beacon Flashes column:

  • Miss Mattie JOHNSTON, who has been teaching school at Long Ridge, is quite ill at her home in “Roseneath.”
  • Mr. James BRINKLEY and family and Mrs. M.L. DOWDY, of Winton, are the guest of their brother, Mr. D.O. BRINKLEY.
  • Mr. Samuel BAYNOR, proprietor of the “Old Kentucky Stables,” informs us that he will enter his Thoroughbred in the running race at the Edenton Fair.  She is a fine horse and swift runner, and we think will take the premium.
  • Among the most valuable present received by W.M. BATEMAN and wife, who were married at the State Fair last Tuesday was a life insurance policy of $1,000 on the Mutual Life Insurance Co., of Newark, N.J., by Mr. J.W. THOMPSON and a policy of $1,000 on the life of the groom for the bride by the agent of the Union Central Co. Mr. C.J. HUNTER of Raleigh.
