I V The parties were engaged fit the time in a I! (rune of hrllliards, and it is piesumed that a : ai dispute arose as to the proper score of the ' I> count. N'oone was prcxental the time except j K l'Htnpl>ell Martin, who testifies, that the kill- ai ing was in self-defence. The pocket knife of I M the deceased, which he had bought about an I J< hour before, was found on the floor, on the opposite side of the tabte some ten feet from where he wan killed.

With the new artery of trade, tho (irecnwood <fc Augusta Kallro:\d bringing it within two hours' ride of Augusta, with the Increased cotton receipt*, with advantages ottered as a healthy ( desirable location, with Its church and school facilities, and rci'.ied and Intelligent people? with all these the town has surely a brightfu- i ture In reservation for it. It only rorinaln- for those who have become sponsors at this new birth to act well their part, and Greenwood will soon be so thoroughly rehabilitated as to be hardly recognizable In its new and elegant costume ready for metropolitan honor*. Our Mttlc neighbors whose propinquity and prosperity Inspires us with a generous emulation should bo on the qui vive lor our town Is certainly entering the battle of progress In solid phalanx with an unmistakable earue.it of a full t'lumph. General trade has already begun to feel the quickening pulse of the cotton market. The market Is full of new goods, and an Improved quality, a keener eye to public wants, moru careful selection, arc plainly noticeable in these new stocks. A new firm has also appeared In tho mercantile ranks, Messrs. himore A Unckett. the latter recently a salesman with McFell A Davis, a young gentleman of correct habits and exceptional business tan and quail Heat ions.

Greenwood by no means foils to appreciate the honor of furnishing two1 Members to tho general assembly. Senator Maxwell hason more than one occasion honored hfmself and his constituents In the discussions and deliberations of tho Kenfttc and the Incoming member of tho House; Dr. M. C.
