Lumberton Robesonian:
- Dr. Peter McLEAN, of Laurinburg, is quite sick with typhoid fever.
- Peter LACH is to be hanged at Lumberton tomorrow (Friday)
- Mr. George McLEOD, who was shot by a negro, that is now in jail awaiting trial, is about to recover, not being wounded as severely as was thought
- W.B. BLAKE’s kitchen and all its contents were destroyed by fire Saturday night. As it occurred about 2 o’clock in the morning, and as there was no sign of fire on the premises an hour previous, when Mr. BLAKE was up, there is ground for suspicion
