HAYESVILLE, CLAY CO, NC

The Hayesville TIMES under the management os S. Moroney, closed some
weeks ago and is now supplanted by the Hayesville ADVANCE under the
control of Frank McClure, as Editor and G.H. Haigler as associate
Editor. 

The first copy made its appearance last week which was a bright newsy
sheet. 

The weather has been the coldest for years, so say some of the "oldest
inhabitants". The thermomenter registering 21 below on the morning of
the 16th inst. 

W.F. Johnston died some days ago at his home near this place, after an
illness of several months, and was intered in the Methodist cemetery at
this place. 

Clay has lost one of its best citizens. 

Pen. Jones, the greatest peddler of this country, has put up a stock of
goods in the Bristol Store House. 

Sleigh riding has been taking the day ever since the snow. 

John Evans succeeded in catching one of the largest gobblers that roam
the Tusquittee mountains, from the size of his foot which adorns the
office of the ADVANCE. 

Rabbit hunting has been the order of the day since the snow, and the
amount of fur scattered around some dwellings in this place and the
cheerful faces worn by some, go to show that they like the meat of the
animal as well as the sport of hunting. 

There was a prominent colored gentleman of this place who said in
talking about the cold weather and thermometer that it had gone down
below MISSOURI.
