"The Carolina Spartan" Issue: January 11, 1882 Last Saturday three sons of Dr. DORROH, of Greenville, were out hunting, and a shot gun in the hands of John was accidentally discharged, and the load was lodged in the fleshy part of the hip of Samuel, who was about five feet from the muzzle of the gun. The boys were resting on a fence and one of the party was out trying to shoot a hawk, and the others were anxiously watching the movement when the gun was discharged and no one can tell how it happened. The wound is very painful but not supposed to be fatal. Mr. J.S. WILSON, after several weeks' absence, has returned to his law office. He went on a visit to his home in Yorkville, and taking fever was confined to his room for a month. Do not say this is the worst weather you ever saw. You have seen it as bad many a time, if you have lived long. During the month of March, 1866, there were not three clear days. Mr. James WOOD, near Pacolet, says that shortly after the war it rained so much during June that he could do no plowing for three weeks. Robert BISHOP, who was shot by Larkin LITTLE at Gaffney's is suffering from both wounds. The ball which entered the right side has not been found yet, and the doctors are unable to tell where it is located. LITTLE surrendered to an officer and was bound over in the sum of $1,000. Billy REYNOLDS come to the front with his poetry. He says he can do as good work as any living man, unless that man can beat him. Will some one please give him a job quick and stop his poetry. [further down the column:] A POME [sic] There is a young man in town who was recently a clerk, And like a good many others he does not work (at that any more) But says he'll never resign As long as he can fine A man who has a sign That he wants painted- And he is looking for that man right now! The author of this "pome" wishes you to know who he is and he wants you to know it quick, so that you will call on him and give him a job right now. Come quick with your work, and relieve Billy REYNOLDS. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS James A. CORRY, Plaintiff, against Mijamin S.
