and called Mt the Nc,cs and Courier Office

sympathy of Anderson County and city

On Capt. Cowan's plantation, Martin
Township resides one John Smith, whose
daughter Eliza is not yet quite twelve
years old. Sunday morning about 10
o'clock Eliza was married to an Indian
tramp, who, for the past two or three
weeks, has been lodging at Smiths, occa-
sionally giving slight-of-hand entertain
ments in the neighborhood, assisted by
his faithful companions, monkey and
coon. The Rev. Mr.. Ashley performed
the ceremony alter being earnestly solici-
ted by the parents of the child. All the
other Smiths in this country ought to
petition the Legislature to change John
Smiths name to something else.
Mr.. William Bellotte died at his home
in Pendleton on last Thursday evening,
after an illness of only few days. About
three weeks ago he accidentally stepped
on nail, which penetrated his foot. AL
though very painful, he did not appre-
hend any danger from the wound, which,
however, gradually grew worse, and
finally resulted in blood poison, which
caused his death. Mr.. Bellotte was an
upright, worthy citizen, and his many
friends throughout the County will regret
to hear Of his death. He was about so
years 'of age, and was never married.
His remains were inferred at Mt. Zion
Presbyterian Church, near Sandy Springs,
on Friday.

which was found and returned to the
owner. Jones has been committed to
