and family, besides n host Of friends to
mourn his loss.
Mrs. John A. NJ. Estes is quite sick at
this time.
Mr. Robert ]. Kirby's child is sick too
with bilious fever.
We are very sorry to hear that Mr.. Thorn
as d. Gora.Is.. uGs seriously, if not fatally
irJured by bull one day last week. The
beast gored him in the thigh, making an
| ugly flesh wound, so large that il took ten
stitches TO sew it up. lie is an old gentle.
men and the wound may disable him for
life.
Last week was quite favorable for cotton
picking and fodder pulling.
Hay making is now in order with our
farmers. A good deal of this kind of forage
must be used next year if the work animals
etc, get o sufiicieney. Many farmers lost
their entire crop of fodder by the late storm.
We had the pleasure last Sunday of. visit
ing Asbury Chapel on the occasion of the

Convention. A large and we'll behaved con-
gregation was present, ready to witness and
take part in the occasion, the principle
feature of which was the sermon prepared
for aud preached by Rev. N. B. Clarkson.
We met many of the good people of this
section of our North Pacolet country, who
are always ready to do their part of any
christian work. 1t will not be amiss for us
to say that the ladies' of Asbury and vicinity
made the occasion especially enjoyable by
the abundance Of good things prepared for
the hungry and weary. Notwithstanding
your scribe had been on the sick list for a
few days, he forgot this complsiuings and
acted his part at the table.
Our township can beat the world for bad
roads. The public road from here to Cow
deysville, by way Of Ovens ford. is n dis
grace.to the county to say nothing of the
townsphip. If some other section claims
the belt, we will give it up willingly, and
pity them too.
No effort so far as we know, has been
made to reestablish "a crossing at Howelrs
ferry since the fat sunk about month ago

An Alleged Outrage.


We clip the following from the Caroiina
Spartan of this week
Monday while the family was absent q
half-witted woman by the name of Caroline
Sherbuett, near Brannons =. o., was ont
rageously assaulted by w. T. Lawson who
lives near Pacolet, in Union county. A
warrant was placed in the hands of the
sheriff, who is using all diligence to make
the arrest There seems TO be no doubt as
to his guilt. The neighbors were so indig-
nant that they threatened TO lynch him
when caught. We advise them to let that
business alone, especially if Capt. Dean
takes charge Of the prisoner.
We will make no comments until Mr..
Lawson is heard from, as we understand
that he was arrested and carried to Spar
tanburg Tuesday.
