The young man, most anxious of all to marry will be at the Japanese Tea Party. Go out and you will see him.

Road, not far from Campobella, was fooling with an old pistol one night last week, and by accident it was discharged, and the ball entered his wife's hip in the front and to all appearances passed around the bone.

Hey Y'all, I wonder if there are any old newspaper clippings or articles from during The War for Southern Indedpendence? My g.g.grandfather, John Warren White (died in 1864) and three out of his four brothers all died in that war of northern invasion. It would be neat to read any articles or pieces on them. Hiram, Jr., William, and Rufus Belton White all died in 1862. Jasper "Jack" White is the only one to survive. Two of his brothers died in his arms. Can you imagine the anguish of their parents, Hiram and Sarah King White of Spartanburg, having three of their sons die in one year, 1862 and the fouth in 1864? These White brothers were all in John Blasingame's company, "The Spartan Rifles", 5th S.C. Vol. Infantry. When their commander created the Palmetto SharpShooters in 1862 four of them went into the new unit, their company being Co. "K", Palmetto SharpShooters, S. C. Vols. After the war, John's wife remarried a Mr. James H. Calvert in 1866 and they and some friends and relatives all migrated to Texas. Jasper, the surving son that fought in the war, also went to Texas, married and had two sons, Bert and William. I would sure like to find their descendents.
