Some one exchanged overcoats
with W. O. Lipscomb at Lipscombs
hotel one night last week. Mr Lip
scomb would like for the party to

and a paper with Mr Lipscomb’s
name written on it.
Interest has been revived in the
boundary line between Greenville and
Spartanburg. Two distinct lines were
run. Which shall it be? Expert
Hodgkins, of the United States Coast
and Geodetic Survey, is now in

The Ledger was shown Monday,
an old single barrel pistol, a muzzle
loader, made by Mr. John Black, who
was raised in York county, and made
by hand complete—lock, stock and
barrel, by Mr. Black in 1861. The
father of J. A. Settle turned oil the
end of the barrel. The “grip - ’ is
formed of horn, nicely joined to the
lock and barrel. The pistol is of ex
treme antiejuo appearance, and re
sembles the old-fashioned duelling
pistol of the period before the war.
It is 13 inches long and of heavy
calibre and rifled. It is a formida
ble weapon. It was brought to
town by Mr. R. G. Black.
