"Carolina Spartan" Issue: March 12, 1884 You will catch it, if you trespass on the lands of the BOYD brothers. See, if you don't. J.T. COMPTON returned from Philadelphia last week, having finished the first course of lectures at the Jefferson Medical College. We regret to learn of the serious sickness of R.R. SMITH, one of our good citizens in the Philadelphia neighborhood. His friends have no hope of his recovery. Last Sunday morning during the rain, a strong wind swept across a portion of our county. It crossed the Walnut Grove Road, at Willis LAYTON's, blowing down trees and taking the cover off of some of his outhouses. It passed on across the country and across the Glenn Springs road at Captain STRIBLING's. There it was strong enough to blow down timber and unroof out houses. We have heard of not greater damage than the above. COURT OF PROBATE: R.N. ELLIS filed petition for letters of Administration on the estate of Joseph P. ELLIS. "Carolina Spartan" Issue: March 19, 1884 Wm. G. BLAKE has arrived from Baltimore where he has been attending a business college. Dr. FLEMING's six year old daughter, Lois, in jumping from a window of his new house, broke one bone of her leg just above the ankle, last Saturday. Miss Carrie KIRBY returned to Williamston Female college last week. Mrs. Dr. MOORE of Wellford, was very sick last week. She was improving Monday. Hon. John H. EVINS was in town Monday, having run down from Washington to see Mrs. MOORE, his sister, last week. He is much improved in health and appearance. J.P. DARBY, four miles east of Reidville, reports the oat crop as promising. J.M. ANDERSON, three miles south of Reidville, says his Grazing oats are the finest he ever saw. Maj. E.C. SMITH, of Rockford, says that he took much pains with most of his oat crop. The wheat is small and thin. Even that sowed early with fine preparation is not very promising. T.G. McCRAW, in the Grassy Pond neighborhood, says the Red Oats are badly killed and the people do not talk like sowing them again. C.C. JARRETT, of the Martinsville section, says their oats were considerably thinned, but there is a fair stand left, and they will make a fine crop unless some disaster comes. S.M. LITTLEJOHN, near Goucher Creek Church says the early sowing of oats is very fair, but there is not a large area sown. free post Lisa
