Abbeville Medium: Mrs. Mary Martin

on Mrs. Sallie Barmore
died at her home near Donnaldsville on
last Sabbath night from dropsy after
long illness and at very advanced age.
Mrs. Henry Burton died at her home
in the upper part of this county on 26th

farmers will begin planting corn the lat
ter part of this week. Nearly twice as

Spartanburg Herald The Town Coun,
Gil, we learn, has accepted the proposal
of Mr.. James T. Eichberg, of Atlanta,
Ga. to erect gas works, and we hope soon
to see our streets lighted with gas......J.
E. Giles, Deputy Collector for this Di-
vision, went on raid with Capt. 5. T.
Lanford and his revenue force one day

hours captured and destroyed two stills

Newberry Herald: Press Chappell,
white, who was sent to the penitentiary
at the fall term Of Court for one year, has
been hired out to his wife......Mr. Geo.
Long, while out hunting the LIST instant,
met with painful accident. His pow
der-iask ploded, burning his face and
hands and singing off his eyebrows and
eve.lashes A gun burst in the hands
of Mr.. Tobe Reagin on the 7th inst, and
tore the flesh from the fingers and palm
of one hand, making very ugly and
painful wound. When the G. & G. R.
r. began the rebuilding of the Laurens
Road it issued bonds to those who con-
tributed money towards its reconstruction
to the amount Of Sl75,0OO, these bonds
being secured by mortgage of the Lau-
rens Road. $150000 of these bonds have
been subscribed for and taken up. Re-
Gently q bill was filed in Columbia to
foreclose the mortgage and have the road
sold. The bondholders are endeavoring
to protect their interest by organizing and
deciding on some plan of action. The
majority of the bondholders are in favor
of buying the road and severing it from
the G. & G. r. R. The chairman Of the
committee appointed on the 4th, MIR. F.
J. Pelzer, of Charleston, will call the
bcudho!ders together as soon as that
committee is ready to make q report.
The Laurens Railroad owns no rolling
stock, and it is impossible to make any
thing like an accurate estimate of the
value of the road. The fact that the
bonds are selling for about thirty cents
on the dollar indicates very clearly that
it would not sell for the amount of the
mortgage.
