"Carolina Spartan" Issue: December 6, 1882 John LYNCH, living near King's Mountain, committed suicide by shooting himself with a shot gun a few days ago. He leaves a wife and a drunkard's name behind him. Whiskey drove the poor fellow to his desperate deed. At the sale of personal property of Jas HUSKY, deceased, near Grassy Pond, corn brought 50 to 55, hogs 8 ½, wheat $1.15 to $1.25, geese 40 cents, and other things in proportion to these prices. One thing worthy of mention is that there was not a drop of whiskey on hand, and the crowd was pretty large. Thirty years ago there would have been about three wagon loads on hand. Issue: December 26, 1882 Mr. J.S. HAMAKER for a short time foreman of the Spartan Office last Spring, will lead Miss Annie Laurie SMITH of Towands Pa., to the bridal alter the 31st instant. A reception will be given in the evening. The Spartan extends cordial thanks for an invitation. MARRIED: --by Rev. W.L.
