MORGAN J.M. MORGAN For a the heirs July 27, 1881 2t The Chicago Inter-Ocean, has an interesting sketch of Belle BOYD, the confederate spy, part of which reads like a circular setting forth a boarding school for girls or a mountain resort. This is the case when the reporter speakes about her being in several engagements and having her clothes perforated with bullets. It states this fact, however, that she is married a second time and settled down into quiet, domestic life, and that the traveling, lecturing Belle BOYDS are all frauds. One anecdote characteristic of Lincoln is told which is good enough to be true. It is said that Belle BOYD became acquainted with the President when she was about Washington and kept up a correspondence with him, when she came across the lines. On one occasion she used paper, having a Confederate flag entwined around with a serpent and this motto written under it: "Don't tread on me, or I'll bite." When Lincoln replied, he cut the design and motto out, erased the "bite" and wrote "bust" in its place and enclosed this to his fair correspondent. NOTICE Is hereby given that we will apply to Geo. W. NICHOLLS, Judge of Probate for Spartanburg County, S.C., on the 2d day of September, 1881, for a final discharge as Executors of the estate of David H. SMITH, deceased. C.C. SMITH S.N. SMITH NOTICE Is hereby given to all persons holding claims against the estate of Sarah A. WEST, deceased, to present them to the undersigned, on or before the 24th day of August, 1881 properly proven. C.C. SMITH Locals: --Professor Charles F. SMITH, Ph.D., and family, returned to Spartanburg Tuesday morning, from Germany. After spending a few weeks here with family and fiends he will go to Williams College, where he is elected to a professorship. --Some flowers are known to possess narcotic principles, but is now believed that a mixture of geranium, citrine and fuschia have a tendency to prevent sleep. A young man had a most beautiful bouquet of these on his counter a few days ago and it is said that they kept him awake nearly a week. Issue: August 17, 1881 Locals: --Mr. W.T. DANIEL, of Landrum's, S.C., has an apple tree that grows in clusters. It seems to be a seedling, ripening in the fall. One limb nine inches long had 22 apples on it, and another, 30 inches in length had 52 well formed apples. --Dr. Manning T. SMITH has located in the Oak Grove neighborhood, and he may be found at the residence of Capt. J.W. WOFFORD. He was a diligent student, and graduated in a first class college. --Mr. J. W. M. ELDER has entered upon his work as colporteur of the American Bible Society in this county. He is a native of York county, and proposes to canvass every neighborhood in Spartanburg. --Major T.H. BOMAR will in a few days point his compass in the direction of Rutherford. He will perhaps cross Lawson's Fork near the mouth of Shoaly Creek and then proceed in the most direct line to Rutherford. Of course this is only a preliminary survey, and other lines will be run. Issue: August 24, 1881 Some thoughtless persons tied a brush to a loose mule and sent him galloping up Main Street Monday afternoon. Of course this did not hurt the mule nor the brush; but some horse might take fright at such a sight and runaway with women and children and do much damage. Never endanger the lives of others with your fun. Free Post Lisa
