We understand that Julius SEXTON, an aged colored man, left Reidville, two weeks ago to make a visit to his future home, with a son, near Sandy Flat, in Greenville county. He has been a citizen of Reidville for several years since the war, has sustained a good character for sobriety, truth, honesty and industry, has always voted the democratic ticket. We are glad to know that the citizens were kind to him on leaving, presenting him with a suit of clothes and some money. May he find friends in his new home. [top cut off] . . .Another shooting scrape took place in this county at Pelham. William COOPER and John JONES, both white, had a sort of family quarrel that they had been nursing for some time. In order to keep this quarrel in good healthy condition they took on some whiskey as a stimulant the day before Christmas. JONES, who is a Greenville county man, bought an ax handle and it is said he threatened to use it on COOPER. He came up on him and fired off his ax handle striking COOPER on the hand bruising it very much, whereupon COOPER pulled from hip pocket the handy pistol and opened on the Greenville county man. One ball entered the groin, and the other the neck. JONES's condition was considered very critical Friday, and he may be dead before this time. The shooting took place on the Spartanburg side of the county line. Issue: January 16, 1884 John B. O'N. [sic] BOWMAN, has come to Spartanburg to remain. He is a son of Jno. G. BOWMAN of the "Temperance Advocate" published in Columbia, before the war. Mr. BOWMAN's business is house painting, paperhanging and glazing. There is a good opening here for him, and we hope he will do well. At present he may be found at the Central Hotel. J.H. McCLIMONS and family of Reidville, have just left for Sulphur Springs, Texas. He has spent a year here with friends and relatives. As Michael MOORE, son of Dr. A.L. MOORE of Wellford, was going into the house from the front last Monday, a bullet struck him in the back of the neck and lodged somewhere about the jaw bone. Two young men had been out hunting and they were South of the Doctor's house, fully a fourth of a mile away. One of them, Sam HAMMOND had a Remington rifle and he fired it at a frozen turnip sticking out of the ground. He thinks it probable from the direction he fired that the ball struck the turnip and glanced upward and struck Mr. MOORE. It is a serious wound, but not considered dangerous at this time. Dr. J.N. MOORE, of this place, was called out to see him. The ball has not been taken out yet. We hope a speedy recovery for him. W.J. DUNCAN and family and Mr. HAMILTON and family, of Gaffney City, have left for Paris, Texas. Michael MOORE who was severely shot in the neck is improving slowly. The ball has not been located yet. Captain J.W. HOLTZCLAW had both bones of his leg broken last week just above the ankle. He was passing the store of Cannon & Long, and Mr. EVINS a clerk in that house was outside with snow balls ready for a little fun. He and the Captain got into a friendly scuffle which ended in the accident. MARRIED: --December 25th 1883, by Rev. W. Hardin, assisted by Rev. A.J. Hines, Mr. W.R.
