DICK, about 25 years of age, five feet ten inches high, of a black 
complexion, very well made, and plays on the violin. He left me in 
Greene county, passed through Pitt, and was traced to Bertie county

Greene county.

      250  dollars
         REWARD.
RAN -AWAY from the subscriber's plantation, on the night of the 
28thinstant, my Dark man JACK, who took with him his wife ANICA, 
LONDON, and his wife KESIAH, boy FLORESCO, and man ELIAS-- six in 
number--
  JACK is a stout, well made fellow about 5 feet 11 inches high, and 
very black -- his shoulders a little round, walks with his knees rather 
close, and has a scar on the top of  his feet. ANICA, his wife, is a 
small black woman, neat in appearance, and has a mild voice. LONDON has 
a yellow complexion, is about 5 feet 8 or 10 inches high, and halts a 
little in his walk-- His wife KESIAH, is a stout, fine looking woman, 
very black--has a Wen on the back, and a small scar under one of her 
eyes. FLORESCO, is the son of KESIAH, and is a fine looking boy, about 
18 years of age, tall and slim, a long foot, and very black. Man ELIAS, 
is about 5 feet 8 inches high, black complexion ; he sometimes speaks 
rather thick ; is stout made and has a wen under one of his ears, the 
size of a walnut.
  Their Winter Clothes which they took with them, are of White Plains.
  I will give a Reward of One Hundred Dollars for JACK--Fifty Dollars 
for ANICA, and Twenty-five Dollars each for LONDON, KESIAH, FLORESCO 
and ELIAS.
  These Negroes, no doubt, will visit Newbern, and it is likely will 
range about Trent, White, Oak, New River, and up Neuse, as far as 
General SIMPSON'S, as they have connexions at each of these places.
  ANICA and ELIAS have fathers in Newbern, and the father of JACK and 
KESIAH, are at Col. EDMUND HATCH'S, in Jones county.
  They have been leaders on my plantation, and I think it probable they 
will resolute in their endeavors to avoid being taken.--
  If, therefore, either of said slaves should be killed in an attempt 
to confine them, I will not hold the person using such violence, liable 
for any penalty. And, if said negroes are not taken, or do not return 
home, they will, in a few days, be legally outlawed.
  Masters of vessels and others, are forbid harbouring or carrying away 
said slaves, under penalty of the law.

                            DIED,
  In this town, on Monday evening last, in the 27th year of his age, 
Mr. JOHN SPENCE WEST, of the house of JARVIS WEST,& Co.
  Obituary notices have so frequently been used to gratify the 
partialities of friends, or mitigate the agonies of grief, that they 
are generally viewed as mere panegyric.
  From this imputation, the present essay briefly to sketch the 
character of the deceased, may justly claim an exemption.--
  The truth simply told, will prove his noblest eulogy.
  Though cut off, before Providence had granted him the power of 
gratifying extensively the generous impulses of his heart, yet all 
within his sphere felt the genial effects of his benevolence. As a 
merchant, all who dealt with him admired his attention to business, and 
were pleased with his courtesy and disposition to accommodate. As a 
man;  the _ermine purity of his integrity was never polluted even by 
suspicion's touch. The flame of purest gratitude, which will ever be 
fostered by his surviving relatives, emblazons his worth as a kinsman.  
  Oh! ask not his merits as a son, lest the agonized bosom of a 
bereaved mother burst with their utterance. Who did not delight to hail 
him as a friend? What heart could close its avenues to his bland and 
cheerful smile? Though pent up in his dark and narrow house, hid from 
our view by the cold clod of the volley; yet long, very long, will he 
live in pleasing but mournful remembrance.
  To his family, the savour of his good name will be a soothing balm; 
let them reflect, that it is far more important to live well, than to 
live long, and however prone human nature may be to arraign this 
mysterious dispensation, yet the Lord hath only taken what he gave, and 
who shall say that his mercy hath not snatched him from evil to come.--
--------Communicated.
  On the same day JOSEPH, infant son of Mr. CHARLES STEWART.
  This morning, JULIA, infant daughter of Mr. THOMAS M'LIN.
  On the straits in Carteret County, on the 8th instant, Mr. SAMUEL 
LEFFERS, Sr. in the 86th year of his age. He was a citizen of that 
county for 56 years, and led a life devoted to his God and his country. 
He died with perfect resignation, and even prayed for a release from 
the toils of this weary pilgrimage.              AMICUS.
  In Jones County, on Friday morning last, Mrs. MARY SPIGHT, an aged 
and respectable widow. She was an affectionate companion, a tender 
Mother, a kind and obliging neighbour, and a bright ornament of the 
Baptist Church.

"Our Snow Hill correspondent informs us that on last Thurday morning, the 2nd inst., at 3 o'clock, the Court House in that town was discovered to be in flames, and in less than two hours it was a smouldering ruin.

Every Record in the office of the Register of Deeds was destroyed, as was also every article in the Sheriff's office. More than half of the Records and documents in the office of the Superior Court Clerk were also consumed by the fire. In a very few minutes after the alarm was given, the citizens were on the ground battling manfully to save what was found not entirely beyond hope.

The jail caught fire twice, but by well applied efforts the flames were subdued, and the Court House is the only building whose loss is to record.

The fire was evidently the work of incendiaries. It seems the fiends fired the passage, the court room and the Register's office simultaneously. It is to be hoped that they may be brought to speedy justice.

It is thought that the County Commisioners will probably select the commodious hall over Mr. John Murphrey's store, as the place for holding the next term of Greene Court, which will be on the 13th. instant.

About a year since the county jail was destroyed by fire and that building has just been rebuild [sic] at a heavy expense tot he tax payers of the county, and now thay must be saddled with the expense of building another Court House. It is too bad, these hard times. Our Greene County friends have our sympathy in their misfortune."

CHARLOTTE DALY OBSERVER 8-31-1897 DR.BENJAMIN F. WILLIAMS A North Carolinian Who Went to Georgia and Made His Mark Correspondence of the Observer Waycross,Ga.,Aug.28-in order to show what North Carolinians have done abroad with your permission,I will give you a brief history of the life of Dr.Benjamin Franklin Williams,who was born in Greene county,North Carolina,September 2,1820 and whose parents,Joseph and Avy [Murphy]Williams,were also natives of the same state.For many yearsJoseph Williams,father of the subject of this sketch,was a wealthy and sucessful planter.Dr.Williams was reared in his native State,and there received his elementary training,and later attended Madison University,in New York.

In 1840 he began reading medicine with Dr.Robbins,of Troy,N.Y.,and afterward att- ended the medical college in Albany,and in 1849 he returned to North Carolina and engaged to practice his profession.But his natural aptitude for public affairs seemed to eclipse his professional ability,and in 1850 he was elected to represent his county-Greene-in the General Assembly of North Carolina,and the honor was con- ferred upon him for six successive terms.In 1886 he removed to Georgia and resided in Charlton county for some time.Later he moved to this county-Ware-settling for a short while at Sunnyside.In 1872 Dr.Williams moved to Waycross,being one of the two first settlers of this town,where he accumulated much wealth,and was instrumental in making Waycross what it is today-a place of 6,000 or 7,000 inhabitants,and also an important railroad centre.Dr.Williams in conjunction with several other prominant citizens,established the first private school in Waycross,and later was instrumental in building an academy,thus indeavoring to promote the welfare of the town and state of his adoption.Moreover,he engaged in other useful enterprises;laid off a portion of the city of Waycross,kept up a large and lucrative practice,and engaged in many other worthy enterprises.He servered for a short time in the Confederant army and was a member of the first constitutional convention.

Dr.Williams married Miss Sarah F.Williams,of New Hartford,N.H.,and died in Waycross, May 7,1892.His remains were intered in Lott cemetery,this city,and he now"sleeps the sleep that knows no waking."

His wife and seven children survive him,five of whom are residents of Waycross;Mrs.H. J.Lott,Henry C.Williams.a prominant and wealthy planter;Joseph S.Williams,a popular lawyer,and Judge of Ware county court,Miss Mattie F.Williams,and Dr.Benjamin H.Williams, a well known dentist.The other members of this honored family are;Mrs.S.V.Houck,Gordon county,Ga. and Dr.William P.Williams,a physician of Blackshear,Ga.

Judge Williams informs me that the family has many relatives still living in the Old North State,who will no doubt be glad to see this account of their relative,and with this last sentence,I will close this brief sketch of a North Carolinian who won fortune and fame in the Empire State of the South.

"Melancholy Case"

Occurrences of this kind are exceedingly rare in this section. We learn no investigation has been had, which is certainly blamable. No one pretends to account for it, or to charge any one with the foul deed; though it has been said that one of the physicians thought they had been poisoned by arsenic. We incline to the opinion that a thorough investigation would throw some light on the subject, and correct that suspicion. It may be that some poisonous substance was without the knowledge of the cook, in the vessel in which it was prepared, or that some ingredient was improperly but innocently put in the article while in the process of making. We trust the true state of the case will be soon developed. "New Bernian"

" Kinston, Aug. 28. --Mrs. Jesse P. Williams, of Atlanta, formerly Miss Cora Taylor, of Bullhead, Greene county, has succeeded to the princely estate of her late husband, who was a noted southern capitalist. Mrs. Williams becomes the largest landowner of her sex in the world, and the richest woman in the south.

Captain William died several weeks ago, and leaving no children and no will, his wife became the sole heir.

His great estate is variously estimated at from $5,000,000 to 10,000 [sic]. She is the only woman in the Southern states to control a 200-mile interstate railroad, with its trains, stations, shops, terminals, docks and a steamboat line.

She owns a quarter of a million acres of farming and timber lands in Georgia and Florida. Mrs. Williams is well-fitted to manage the property, having acted as the closest counsellor of her husband and virtual manager of his extensive interests during the last few years, when he was an invalid. Captain Williams has a brother at Mt. Olive, N.C. Mrs. Williams is connected with leading families of this section. "
