SPRADIISG, Aug. 19.-Religious SER
vices were held at this place last Sunday
night, at the residence of Liga Creech,
ON Little Laurel. Revs Marion h. Ely
and Leander Clerr both officiated. A
large crowd was in attendance and good
order prevailed, except a little row be-
tween two young men which, for few
moments threatened to battle in blood
the participants. Pistols were inquired
for and fierce words used, but there was
no shooting nor WAS any one hurt. The
row was over a girl, and j. NJ. Fulks,
recently elected constable, commanded
peace at once.
David Lawson, our good old black
smith. who was defeated for magistrate

not suit him.
