Issue: September 20, 1882 Cornelius COLE, who robbed the express agent here about 18 months ago, was captured by Chief Marshall, J.B. KING in Columbia last week. Mr. KING had gone to carry a registered escaped convict back to the penitentiary, and he was looking around the circus there and saw his old acquaintance, COLE, with the circus hands. He gave him a pressing invitation to visit Spartanburg, which COLE accepted with some reluctance at parting with his circus friends. He is now in jail awaiting a trial for highway robbery. We asked Henry ABBOTT, (Honey Bee) to give us the number of his descendants. He came up a few days ago and reported as follows: I will be 85 years old the 4th of October next, and the "old woman" will be 81 the same. We had 15 children, but only 7 are living, several having been killed during the war. I know of 76 grandchildren and 27 great-grandchildren, making a total of 112. He says they are so scattered that he thinks they are not all counted. A few weeks ago an old colored man, "Uncle Joe MILLER", asked a merchant of this place to buy him 18,000 shingles to cover "Foster's Chapel". Last Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, five wagons rolled up, and within one hour there were 30 men, 28 horses and 22 wagons ready to haul off the shingles. This I think worthy of special mention, inasmuch as it was a voluntary labor, on the part of the owners of these wagons, and just at this season one that required sacrifice. The special point I wish to make is, if our pastors were to make such a demand on our time and personal labor, would we respond with such zeal and punctuality. Issue: September 27, 1882 John L. HOLMES, Esq., with his daughter, Mrs. WRIGHT, of Wilmington, are on visit to his son, John HOLMES, of this place. Mr. M.B. HEMPHILL, (the afflicted man at Cannons Camp Ground) thankfully acknowledges the receipt of seven dollars and seventy-five cents, from friends in Spartanburg. Help is still needed.

All household property was a total loss, including grain, fodder, &c. The fire is supposed to have originated from a stove flue, and when detected was too far advanced to remove anything.
