Mr. Henry C. Markley of this city, has been elected by the Episcopal Diocesan Convention in session in Aiken last week, a delegate to the General Convention Mr. L. G. Hamilton, an old and valued citizen of Pickens County, died at his home near Easley, on Monday last, aged about seventy-five years. We learn that on yesterday two negroes got into a difficulty at Easley over a game of cards, and one of them picked up a base ball bat-hit the other over the head and killed him. Mr. J. D. Green, the town marshal, arrested the one that did the killing-but the negro resisted and was shot in the cheek by Green before he would be arrested. The negro is now in the Pickens jail. Mr. Albert Shumate of this city, who slipped down on the steps of the Baptist Church Sunday night before last, and dislocated his right knee, is going about again in a crippled condition. Messrs. Gower, Goodlett & Co., are receiving much tan bark over the railroad from up about Marietta. Col. R. W. Anderson of Traveler's Rest says the slight rain that fell up that way on Monday afternoon did much good, and sufficient in quantity to bring the balance of the cotton seed up. W. F. Youn and R. W. Keenan, the latter of this City, railway postal clerks, have been notified that their services will no longer be wanted. Mr. J. P. Charles has returned from Kentucky with a lot of fine horses.
