Beacon Flashes (February 2, 1890)

Excerpts from the Beacon Flashes column:

  • During the illness of S.C. CLERK, T.J. MARRINER, and Register of Deeds, J.P. HILLIARD, both offices have been in charge of Mr. Thos. S. ARMISTEAD, as deputy.
  • Owing to unavoidable circumstances Hon. J.E. MOORE could not be present to address the Ex Confederates on Monday last, which caused much disappointment to our people.
  • The addition of a cornet to the choir at the Methodist Church is quite an improvement.  Though the choir is composed of a number of our most gifted singers, yet the soft notes of the cornet made by Prof. J.W. PIERCY, makes it even more melodious.
  • Mrs. Louis E. HINER, who has been spending some time in our town as the guest of her brother, Col. W.H. FITCHETT, left for her home in Pendleton Co., West Virginia, on Monday.   She was accompanied as far as Edenton by the Colonel and her daughter, Miss Beatrice, also Misses Stella and Neva LATHAM and Eloise DAVENPORT.
  • Mr. I..F. HARRISON, who has been clerking for Hornthal & Bro. for several years, has accepted a situation with T.W. BLOUNT, of Roper.  Mr. HARRISON is a clever, genial gentleman, and a popular and polite salesman, and we congratulate his new employer upon securing his valuable services, and bepseak for him the continued patronage of his numerous friends and acquaintances.
