They will take the Air-Line train for Louisville and other western cities, and be absent about two weeks. The horse of Frank BOLTON, reported stolen last week, was found in the possession of Davidson MITCHELL, of Union County. A.C. LOCKMAN went down and arrested him and recovered the horse. MITCHELL said he swapped for the horse and described the man he traded with, which description suits the farther of Frank BOLTON. The accused gave bond to appear in court. Some railroad hands, all colored, gathered at a house of prostitution in town Saturday night, and had a lively time. Four of them were cut and Dennis JETER was shot in the middle of the forehead by Lum PETTY. The bullet meandered around the skull bone for awhile and finally made and exit on the top of his head. It was very much damaged-that is the bullet and not the head. "Red Mose" informed the authorities of the row, and Monday Ira RICHARDS, met him out of town and opened fire on him for telling.

Gabe MOORE is doing the wood work on the houses of Dr. Fleming and Col. Walker, and he says that the wood will be there in good shape, especially the door and window frames, when the bricks have moldered away. Mr. William POSEY has lost his fine iron grey horse from disease of some sort. All lovers of the horse will sympathize with Mr. POSEY. It is not the financial loss that hurts in such cases, but it is almost like losing one of the family for a favorite horse to die. Col. T.J. MOORE's fine bull calf that was bitten by a dog some time ago, died recently. It showed all signs of hydrophobia before dying. The colt bitten at the same time seems well and hearty. The Colonel received by mail an offer of $100 for this calf the very day it died. Don't forget to attend the sale of the Property of Estate of W. Wash THOMPSON, next Monday 5th. Furniture can be seen at the old stand under Merchants Hotel after Thursday. Edwin S.

"Carolina Spartan" Issue: September 5, 1883 Maj. Jno. A. LEE is putting up a wind mill near his residence for the purpose of pumping water for domestic use. If he succeeds others may try the same plan. The reunion at Burnt Factory on Saturday was a pleasant occasion. About 200 persons were present and they had a nice picnic and speeches and a good time generally. There were 14 survivors of the Cross Anchor Company present and they organized a survivors association with F.N. WALKER as President and Z.T. BOBO of Union, as Secretary. They meet again next year at the same place. Rev. Mr. WOODWARD, wife and two daughters and Mrs. F.C. WOODWARD reached Spartanburg last Saturday. Mr. WOODWARD and family came from Petersburg and will make this place their home. Two of the Misses WOODWARD will be associated with Miss Carson in the High School for Girls at the Female Academy building. Capt. W.L.

WOFFORD's family of Cherokee has moved to town for the purpose of educating their children. They have rooms in one of Capt. GWYNN's houses on Main street. Jim MASSEY, a colored United States witness attending the court at Greenville, was killed last Saturday night. He and several other Negroes visited a house of infamy kept by a white woman named SPROUSE, and they carried a supply of whiskey with them. A row occurred and it seems that MASSEY was put to flight. Next morning his body was found stiff and dead, severely cut on the breast and side. He went from Spartanburg county, near Reidville. It will be remembered that in a street fight at Hendersonville, N.C., about a year ago, Sam and John BRITTON were making an assault on Jim FANNING, when, by accident, they shot Sam CUNNINGHAM, who was looking on at a considerable distance, which wound caused his death. They were tried at the recent term of court and found guilty of manslaughter. Sam BRITTON was sent to the penitentiary for seven years and John for two. In Brevard last week a prisoner was found guilty of horse-stealing. He was sentenced to ten years but in consideration of his delicate health the judge reduced his time to six. The old North State is not very lenient towards her criminals. A vigilance committee was formed at the old Bridge Place on Thickety [Union County] for the purpose of repressing the unlawful whiskey traffic. The following members are enrolled: Samuel JEFFRIES, A.A. SARRATT, J.C. FOWLER, T.M. LITTLEJOHN, Dr. M.J. WALKER, J.B.T. SCOTT, Thomson ROBBS, James OSMENT, J.T. MOREHEAD, John FOSTER, S.S. WALKER, James WALKER, William JEFFERIES, John R. JEFFERIES, J.H. SPEARS, T.A. GOFORTH, Thomas SCOTT. A committee was appointed to wait on Goode & Estes, distillers near Salem Church. After an interview these men promised to abandon the business. Issue: September 29, 1883 The little son of R.M. OTTS was thrown from a mule last week and his arm was broken.

CROUSE, of King's Mountain, N.C., section master on the Air-Line at Cowpens, died Monday night the 23d instant. He was sick twelve days with typhoid fever. He was an excellent young man, and was most highly esteemed by all who knew him. Dock MORGAN, white, was up before the City Council last week for selling whiskey. The proof was plain against him and he was fined $25 or 30 days imprisonment. During the trial he made a statement under oath, for which he was bound over on the next criminal court to answer for perjury. Mrs. L.C. EZELL, being in bad health, has gone to Plainville, Ga., to try the virtues of limestone water for a few weeks. J.L. POOLE, J.K.

Last week Mrs. A.J. DANIEL and her son A.C. DANIEL and family came very near to being poisoned. At breakfast Mr. DANIEL was the first to appear, and he received from his mother the first cup of coffee. On tasting he perceived there was something wrong, and other members of the family then tasted and pronounced it unfit to drink. In a short time Mr. Daniel who had swallowed a little became quite sick. The coffee was poured into a slop tub where there were some crusts of bread. Two dogs came in and ate the bread, and they were thrown into convulsions. Mrs. DANIEL had a vial of strychnine about the house, and on the search for the same, it could not be found. There is strong reason for believing the coffee was poisoned with the strychnine. Prof. DuPRE has some of the coffee and will make a test for poison this week. Ramson BROWN and Clebe BREWSTER, colored, have been arrested on suspicion. DISAPPOINTED AND HOMESICK EMIGRANTS The South Carolina colony that left the Cannon's Camp Ground neighborhood, in the fall of 1882, has located on Brinalee Mountains, in Blount County, Ala., 7 miles from Blountsville, the county seat. A few of the colony have bought land, the majority have not. One half of the colony are now preparing to return to their native homes in Spartanburg. The soil here is a light, sandy grey, not adapted to wheat, cotton or clover. This county is very poorly watered, but few lasting springs, no railroad facilities, no water powers for manufactures and everything has a downward tendency. Mr. Henry TURNER paid us a visit, but returned to his home without buying land. He likes Spartanburg the best. I would advise all intending to come to this country, to come and see before selling their homes in Spartanburg. H.J. FITZGERALD, Summit, P.O.
