!. "a spirit of ombatiyeness is prevalent
In the land. Last week. two fights occur
red near here. At a colored night meet-
ing, near r. M. Morris, Henry Crawford
and Gus. Edwards had t'set to- with
knives, resulting in serious injury to
both. Henry was stabbed in the groin,
and Gus. had four. or five knife thrusts in
back and side. One Of them reached the
.,hollow.'''. Joel Crawford is supposed to
be the one that stabbed Gus. while Henry
and Gus. were down fighting.
The next day after Che above occurred
Henry and Gus. Williams thrashed out
George Whitner at the wood-rack, near
Salem crossing. AS usual, there is wo-
man in. the case. Georges wife has been
living with Henry this year, and George
wanted her to live with him, but Henry
refused, and combat was the result.
George had his right arm broken, and
was gashed up about the head somewhat.

ter to the wounded in both battles, and at
last accounts they are doing well.

Last Saturday this lawless band sent ont
word to some parties if they attended the
Association at Mountain Spring to bring
their coffin and shroud, and they would
make the hole and put them into it. Their
plan of attack seems to be for one of their
number to decoy the person whom they
wish to attack away,fronl help, and then
he is set upon with rocks, and sometimes
gets good Tor bad) humping.
