1887-08-09 - Raleigh News & Observer
- Rev. Meacham’s daughter bitten by rattlesnake
- Small boy “probably fatally” scalded by a pot of boiling noodles
- “Drumming without a drummer’s license?” is this a tobacco thing
- Samuel Watkins presides over some sort of Committee. Business, Tobacco, etc.
- Claret & scuppernong wines
- “Some excitement,” an explosion! Kid playing with some kind of ammunition when it blew up. “Bled profusely,” but he was one of those indestructable kids and was fine in like five minutes.
