Nov. 12.-Winter is upon us in earnest n
last, but most people are very well prepared
for it, as most of the crops have been Ii
erel in.
The election last week was not attended
with any great interest, about the onl,
thing that seemed TO stir the people nj al
was the Constitutional Convention. 4 good
many of the colorcd brethen turned out 10
vote "No" and they Vt tod also for Pope and
Melton, but the convention question was
what brought them out, or they would
hardly have turned out at all. Out Of n total
vote OF both races in the Township Of $50,
only l?l votes were polled. All went off
quiet and we are trying TO get settled down
to peace and harmony.
For the information Of my friend and
brother c. B. B., of Scialia | would say
that all the mules | ever remember seeing
about JoncsSillc with but one exception hal
four legs. They have no hind shoulders
they take that part out in leg, which is the
\iaast conspicuous Iart of The niue. The
exception speak OF became acquainted
in this way. \ man that didn't live
hundred miles from Jonesvillc had law
suit at Spartanburg, and he employed the
Hon. SIanysrne Wilson as attorney, giving
him note for thirty dollars for the fee and
amOItgagc on n mule to secure the same.
Some time afterwards Mr.. Wilson sent the
papers 10 me and requested hat close the
mortgage, sat sly myself for trouble and
send him his money. i dcputized man as
constable and sent him for the mule and
when he brought 1t in it had but three legs.
advertised and sold according to the terms
set out in the mortgage and the mule brought
five dollars. reserved ten per cent commits
sion, fifty cents, Iaid the constable two
dollars and so cents and sent Mr.. Wilson the
balance, two dollars. Tho gentleman that
give Mr.. wilson the mortgage is rotormer
aud of course we oil know where Mr.. Wilson
stands. Mr.. G. Is. B. might have known
the wart removed from the mule at Jones
vile the other dny was not on tho mule
hinder parts or the doctor and all who as
.isted him would have been dead instead Of
the mule.
