| Capt j. T. Youngblood spent several days
in Troy last week looking after his interests
at that place.
Business was rushing Saturday last; lots o!
cotton and trade was immense. In addition
to good trade the town got the benefit OF q

ing care and consequently the matter could
not proceed. We cannot learn what has gone
with the "Biscuit." Also couple OF men had
q slight alteration, have not learned the par
ticulars.
Miss Bessie Hill spent few days with
| friends in the Ninety.Six community last
week.
Miss Lilly McGhee attended the Laurens
fair.
4 party of young people gathered ut Mrs
McGhecs on Saturday night last, TO listen 10
some rare music by one Fl. +; Schaefer who
nah. Mr.. Won Schaeter and his rare music
failed TO put in their appearance, but the
young people had nice time. we nave
since learned that he skipped his board bill,
and Mr.. Riley, the Hotel man, is looking, for
him. He has q telegram from Messrs. Lud-
den & Bates stating that they "know him
not" and have nothing to do with him. Our
"Her Won Schaefcr," also he Is looking for q
few OF Uncle Sans patches in lieu OF an un-
paid "hoard bill" Success to you, Mr.. Riley.
A telegram reached here With the sad intel,
Augusta, formerly of this place Her hus-
band Mr.. !. l.. Stansell was removed from
hero to Augusta where he died IN May, anu Is
now followed by his estimable wife; Her
Greenwood friends were much panied by the
sad news. Mr.. Thos. Stansell who has had
charge of her business ut this place, left next
day to attend the funeral. The business will
continue at this place under new head.
Miss Carrie Kinnrd OF Columbia who is Wis
itng the family OF Mr.. Frank Arnold, spent
from Saturday until Monday with Miss Todie
Watson Of this city.
We have noticed a certain "young Lockin-
var" from Troy visiting here lately. Sundays
and Thursday nights seem 70 be convenient
times for coming here. The mystery was
solved TO our perpleXed minds by the graceful
wave OF handk kerchief from the Spartanburg
train by a certain young lady who had been
visiting here for Il few days. Simple circum-
stances sometimes unravel strange mysteries
Mr.. Will LomaX OF Nerdery was in town
Sunday last.
DR.. Sandy McNeill of Bradley who so brave
/ ly volunteered his services to the yellow fever
sufferers Of Jacksonville, was in town one
day last week eli ronte for his home at Brad
ley.
! The cotton receipts for cotton last week was
heavier than has ever been known here be-
fore. The number OF bales was q great deal
over 1900. Trade was on boom also, all the
merchants report 81 full trade. Greenwood is
The best cotton market in the up country,
there being regular cotton buyers here who
pay fancy prices for cotton. AS a market
Greenwood is peerless.
Our town was very much shocked on last
Sabbath afternoon when the body Of Mrs. G.
i. Nisansoa was brought 10 this place and
the particulars learned Of her sad death. We
learn that Mrs. Visanska in company with
Mr.. Julius Visanska, her son, had started To
Greenwood and while crossing Morton +
bridge the horse commenced backing Off OF
the bridge until the occupants were precipi-
tatcd. Mrs. NiSanska's head striking piece
of timber, her neck was broken. MIR. Visan-
ska was stunned and upon recovery was
shocked to find the dead body Of his mother
by his side. The fall was about - feet from

Mrs Visanskas body was placed aboard the
Columbia train and will be inferred in that
city. The bercaved family have our tenderest
sympathy.
A difficulty occurred at the plantation OF
Mr. Frank Arnold's at q negro hot supper, be-
tween TWO darkeys, George Mosely and Tom
Land IN which the former was shot, which
will probably prove fatal. DR.. Maxwell was
called To see him. and found him in q very
precarlous condition. pr. Maxwell says
there is hardly any hope Of recovery. as he
was shot through the lungs and Is splitting
blood.
There was IL meeting Of the Bible Society at
The Presbyterian church on Sabbath. Az
ter some business was attended to in which
several new members wcro admitted, tho au-
diencc listened TO very fine sermon by the
Rev. MI Aud, the Methonist minister ut this
place Ills sermon was both Interesting and
instructive and appreciated. We cannot but
illso speak word OF praise upon the rendi-
1ion of 1.-THE Reaper and the flowers chant
by the Presbyterian choir. That beautiful
and touching chant was rendered in 4 style
that would do credit to the trained choirS of
Brooklyn tabernacle, or of our larger cities.
Much credit is due to Mrs. Matthews, the Or
gaList. PEMBROkE.
