LOCAL AFFAIRS PUBLISHED IN THE FRANKLIN PRESS, Mar. 30, 1892 - Vol. VII, No.2

- Easter falls on Sunday this year; don't forget it. 

- Several wet days last week somewhat retarded farm work. 

- Hiding Easter eggs engages the attention of the small boy now. 

- Rev. Mr. Ammons baptized eleven persons in Sugarfork last Sunday. 

- The Allman House furnishes a table second to none in this section of
country. 

- Mr. E.K. Cunningham has put a new roof on his residence and otherwise
improved his home. 

- Mr. T.S. Munday, of Aquone, was in town from Friday to Monday on particular
business. 

- We were pleased to see Mr. W.A. Gibson, of Bryson City, in town Saturday. 

- Mr. Lawrence Patton, of Clay county, was on a visit to relatives and friends
in Macon last week. 

- Mr. Mills, who has been on a pout ever since Mr. Crisp was elected speaker,
should now put on a smile four yards' broad. 

- Mrs. John Huggins died of consumption last Friday four or five miles south
of Franklin, and was buried at the Methodist church in town as 12 o'clock
Sunday. 

- The PRES was in error last week in stating that Rev. R.E. Lentz would fill
the pulpit last Sunday at the Methodist, which arose from a misunderstanding
of Rev. Comann's accouncement the Sunday previous. 

- The following jurors have been selected to serve in the U.S. court at
Asheville, May 2:  Clay [county]: A.J. McClure, Jno. M. Crawford; Swain
[county]: M.T. Battle, Samuel Messer; Macon: Wm. Reed, JOhn B. Gray; Jackson
[county]: Silas Davis, Thos. A Coxe; Graham [county]: S.H. McNeeley, J.B.
Carringer. 

- Dr. C.D. Smith returned last week from a trip to South Carolina, Raleigh,
N.C., and Baltimore, which places he visited to confer with parties interested
in the building of our railroad. The Dr. is somewhat reticent on the railroad
question, but expresses himself as being in better spirits than ever before.
He will not enter into particulars, however, which, no doubt, is very prudent.


- We learn from the MOUNTAIN EAGLE that a man named Hall, claiming to be s
ketch artist in the employ of the Atlanta CONSTITUTION, visited Highlands week
before last and engaged board at the Satufah House for three or four days, and
on Saturday left without paying his board bill.  The same fellow, perhaps,
come to Franklin Saturday evening and put up at the Allman House to remain
till Monday, claiming the name of Halstead. On Sunday morning he inquired
about the churches in town and professed to be a good Methodist and told Mr.
Stalleup he would attend services at the Methodist church. He had asvertained,
however, that Mr. Stalleup and family were going to attend the Episcopal
church. At preaching hour he disappeared and was heard of on the head of Iotla
Sunday evening going in the direction of Nantahala. He jumped his board bill. 
His business seems to be, 
Eat, eat, eat; 
Go, go go; 
I'ay, pay, pay? 
No, no, No.
