YORK-Rock Hill Herald, January
16: That valuable piece of property
known as the Allen & Barber lot, on
Main street, has been bought by Mr.
James White. His plans for improve
ment have not as yet been perfected;
but if not used for mercantile pur-
poses, a handsome hotel building will
be erected there, as he informs U.s..
The farmers in the neighborhood have
hauled between $500 and 5000 loads
Of rock with which to macadamize the
Waters's hill, on the Edgmoor road,
1t is probable a proposition will be
made the farmers in the Catawba
church neighborhood to furnish the
rock to macadamize the highway from
Mr.. Locks home to Leslie, the work
to be done after the convict force ar
rives and while it is in this township.
The dairy enterprise Of DR.. T. R. Car
others Is now in full operation and is
furnishing a supply of good milk and
butter. The editor is a patron and
speaks advisedly. The dairy's wagons
make the rounds Of the city twice each
day. REV. DR.. Alexander Sprunt,
the loved pastor of the First Presby-
terian church of our city, has been
called to the First Presbyterian church
in Charleston, and there is feeling of
anxiousness in his devoted congrega-
ton and in the city, that the circum-
stances of the call are such that he
may be induced to accept. The call
has not yet been officially received by
DR.. Sprunt, hence he has not indica-
ted what the nature Of his answer will
be. The invitation is certainly very
f1attering one, since it has been re-
ported that the names Of several dis
tinguished ministers were before the
session, but DR.. Sprunt was the only
person upon which the members could
unite. and the sessions nomination of
DR.. Sprunt was endorsed by a unani-
nous call by the congregation. Ion
Sunday night last shooting affray oc-
Cured at the old Shorthouse place,
Fowlers live, but the exact facts are
hard to obtain. The trouble seems to
have grown out Of visit to the house
by three young men living in the coun-
try, when one of the number, said to
be named Frazier, from Lancaster,
was fired upon by some one in the
house, who had a shotgun. A part Of
the load of No. 4 shot took effect in the
left side of the mans head: five above
the ear and two in the neck. DR.. T. L..
Cornwell waited upon the wounded
man at his home in the country and
extracted the shot In the head, but de-
cided not to attempt to remove the two
from the neck. The trouble, 1t Is re-
ported, grew out of an attempt of one
or more Of the party to enter the Fow-
ler house against the protest of the in
mates. The men are said to have been
drinking freely. .:%.on Monday last

BILE young lady Of that city. The cere-
