If the "Confederate Survivors" wish copies of the rolls of the following named companies, I can supply them viz: 1st. The company with Gen. B.B. FOSTER as Captain, organized, I think, in 1860 (December). 2d. Morgan Volunteer Infantry, '60, Col. G.W.H. LEGG, Captain. 3d. Lawson Fork Volunteer Infantry, '60, R.B. SEAY, Captain. I have the rolls of the original members. These may assist the survivors in perfecting their roll for the "Adjutant and Inspector General". Arthur HARVEN Oakland, S.C. WAS IT MURDER?-About two years ago a young man peddling on jewelry, called at Mrs. GEORGE's about two miles below Draytonville in Union county, late on Saturday evening. Mrs. GEORGE not wanting anything in his line, directed him to PEELER's store, a short distance down the road. He left about dark, but never reached Peeler's, nor was he ever seen or heard of again. A few days after this a certain Negro in the neighborhood began to spend some money, mostly gold, very freely. He also traded in watches and seemed to have about a dozen. He passed off a smooth old Spanish coin with "Laurens" on one side and J.H. L. on the other. We understand that the suspicions of the neighborhood have been aroused. Foul play is suspected, but the main proof, the dead body is wanting to support this theory. Marcellus LITTLEJOHN, living near the Thickety bridge on the Air Line, is in feeble health. He is now in his 88th year. For more than half a century his erect, robust form has been a familiar sight on the Thickety hills. Adam GOUDELOCK, one of Union's oldest and most respected citizens, living near Gowdeysville, is quite sick. For many years "Uncle Adam" has been on of the leading citizens of his community. Mrs. Alice CORRIE, of Cokesbury, is visiting her cousin, Mrs. W.W. DUNCAN, on College Hill. MARRIED MCDOWELL-BURNETT-By Rev. Jno. B. Wilson, at the residence of the bride's father, on June 14th, 1883, Mr. A.J. McDOWELL, of North Carolina, to Miss Hester BURNETT, of Spartanburg, S.C. Last Saturday John G. BROWN dropped a pocket book in a store or on the streets of our town. It had a few dollars in money and some papers valuable only to himself. Rev. J.W. TARBOURX and his wife will leave Spartanburg Wednesday night for New York, where they will embark for Brazil. . . .For over half an hour Mr. TARBOUX spoke of his conviction as to duty and devotion to this work of the world. He was followed by Messers. W.K. BLAKE, W.W. DUNCAN, D.R. DUNCAN and Simpson BOBO. free post Lisa
