"The Carolina Spartan" Issue: August 9, 1882 Lillie HUGHES was bitten by a strange dog at Crawfordsville early Tuesday morning. Mr. S.B. EZELL was there at the time, and on his return to Spartanburg he learns that a colored child near Twitty grove was bitten by a dog, perhaps the same. A large yellow hound bit the girl at Crawfordsville. Take care of the children and look after all strange dogs. Deputy Sheriff HOLT arrested Springs RUSSELL, an escaped United States prisoner near Cowpens last Saturday. He was in the crowd of nine that broke the jail here the 31st day of last December, and was awaiting a sealed sentence in the District Court at Greenville. He will go over there next week and have the pleasure of hearing Judge BRYAN read this legal document. Verge C. BEAN came up to make an inquiry of deputy HOLT as to his reason s for arresting Springs, when the deputy drew a concealed warrant for malicious trespass and arrested BEAN, and on his refusal to come to jail he was handcuffed with the other prisoner and brought to jail. Saturday night Mr. HOLT took Andy WOODRUFF and Tom LAKE, against whom they were sealed sentences for gambling. They will enjoy the dog days in the county jail. An interesting ceremony took place at Major DUNCAN's last week. He made a fine oat crop this year in fact it was large enough to entitle him to be a candidate for any office in the gift of the people, and he concluded to build new barns. His son Willie, was left in charge of the work, and Reuben GOODGION, colored, was the builder of the brick foundation. The Major, on returning home in the evening found one corner lower than the rest and worked over very nicely, and on inquiry as to the reason, he ascertained that Willie had a regular corner stone laying ceremony. He placed copies of the News and Courier and Carolina Spartan, his own name and his father's, and it was ready to close when Robert protested and said his name ought to go into it also, for he was the builder, and in it went with the rest. Robert says in abouts a thousand years from now, when some man opens the corner it will make him open his eyes. Mr. E.L. MURRAY and family, from Atlanta have moved to this place. They are in the Walker house on Church street. Mr. MURRAY is a native of Sumter, and his wife is a sister of GUERRY, the artist. Issue: August 16, 1882 Jackson FOSTER, colored, living on Pea Ridge, in Union County, started out with a Separator this Summer, and in fifteen and a half days threshed out 4,400 bushels of grain. This was nearly 300 bushels a day, and he moved on average three times a day. Who will report next? Another glass-ball shooting takes place at Hendersonville this week. Messrs. H.H. THOMSON, J.H. BLASSINGAME, John PATTERSON, Parker WHITE, Rice NOLAN, and _____ (sic) STONEY went up to represent Spartanburg. Columbus JACKSON, colored, walking and working his way from Louisiana to the home of his father, Henry JACKSON, in Fairfield county, lay down on the side of the railroad track at Cedar Springs Monday evening and went to sleep. The freight train coming along about 1 o'clock in the night aroused him suddenly, and he in attempting to escape, ran in front of the engine and was very badly bruised. The conductor brought him into Spartanburg. There is no hope of his living many hours. MARRIED --At Woodruff Spartanburg Co. S.C., August 9th 1882 at the residence of the bride's parents, by Rev.
