was the following noticeable
inscription: SACRED to the memory of David and Deliah A. McNair- who departed
this life - the former Aug 15,1836 the latter Nov 31 1838. Their children being natives of the Cherokee nation,
and having to go with their people to the west, leave this monument not only to tell of their regards for their
parents, but to guard their ashes from unhallowed intrusion of the white man." The inscription appears on
the tombstone, which is inside of a large rock wall about seven feet high. There is part of the tribe that visits this
spot once a year to look after the grave and see that it is unmolested by the pale face.

On Friday last week two negro men entered the premises of Mr. TOM EPPERSON, four miles
south of Cleveland, and took his clothes and several
other articles there from. Mr. EPPERSON in company with two other gentlemen, whose names we did not learn, followed
the negros to this place where they over took them. They arrested
them about half a mile above Cleveland

loaded with buck-shots. The shots took effect in the forehead. As soon as the negros done the shooting they fled to the
woods and made their escape. Mr. EPPERSON's wound was dressed and he is now improving. Mayor Hix and Dept. Sheriff Seabourn
searched for them all next day about Charleston and
