Yesterday's Charlotte News said: The Atlantic Tennessee and Ohio vestibule from Taylorsville this morning brought in a party with tickets to Atlanta. In the party were R. J. Gibbs and T. L. Gibbs, of Wilkes county. They looked so much alike that it was not possible to tell one from the other. They weigh each 187 pounds, have a short cropped gray mustache, and are dressed alike from hat to boots. They are two of triplets, the other 62 year old brother residing in Atlanta, and they are going there to pay him a visit. All three of these 62 year old triplets voted for Cleveland. The two in Charlotte were proud of the fact that they had got a chance to shake the hand of the President. "I shook it twice," the one named Tom proudly exclaimed.
