1 Two Mules Killed.
3 I^ist Sunday Hayes Robinson, a colored
man living some six milesabove town on
Mrs. Little's place, had the misfortune
to lose two of iris mules. It seems that
he had them tethered near the railroad
? to feed on the giass, they got. on the
railroad and tvere caught and killed by
ore of the passenger trains. It is a sad
misfortune to this colored man at this
time, as lie was depending upon his mules
to make his crop, and in all probability
is not tlDar.cially able to replace them.
Bright Prospects.
3 Very encouraging repoits come from
various sections of the county regarding
' the wheat and oat-crop It is said that
3 some of the crops in Santuc and Cross
Keys townships are the finest seen in
years. Several farmers have fields ol
- grain from knee high to waist high.
Ttlis is illftcpll (.linnili-jirlnrt '?? io Oif
report of the fruit crop. We will r.c
3 doubt have fi nib this year to throw at
C the bird*.
A Pretty Sight.
Mr. G. C. May lias a very large peacock
in his yard with one of the largest
tails wc have overseen. The fowl seems
to be fully aware of tin. attention he attracts
fiom the passer-by ar.d he spiv ads
his plumage in a great and beautiful far
when lie lieais anyone approaching. The
feathere are unusnally long, thick and
brilliant, and when spread out forms si
- fan folly three aud a half feet In diameter
by as many in higlit We have nc
a fault to llnd with the fowl for feelinf
e proud of such bi illiant plumage as lu
lias. It is worth going out of your waj
to see him. lie will take a delight it
accommodating anyone with an exhibi?
tion, who will call to see it.

TUE HEAVY RAINS.
II Bridges Washed A way?Roads Cu
into gullies?hands badly washed.
The heavy rains last week playe<
havoc with this section of the State. W<
have wade enquiry of our faimen
from various sections of Union county
8 and the report! summed up tire to th<
e effect thai the roads and lands about
1 the county have not been so torn up and
5 washed out in many years. Some of tin
1 roads are impassible and many farmers
' coming to town eucouuter sucli places
in the roads as to necessitate their going
r back and making a great detour in order
to get to town at all. One farmer reports
that he found a great wash at a ford iu
a private road, ho took a tail and pitched
into it and the rail went out of sight, so
1 he turned back. Another got into a deep
gully in the road which had been formed
by the side ditches filling up and the
f water taking down the wagon ruts in
s the road. The wagon went down until
the axles dragged. lie had to cut loose
r the off mule and put him in front of the
1 tongue and unload members of his family
from the wagon before he could pull the
wagon out.
The farms on the 1 illsides have lieen
literally cut to pieces, the water causing
great gullies and ditches by its rapid
rusli< All bottom laud was Hooded,
and some of the streams were higher than
i they have been for years.
The Harris bridge at the Forest was
I badly damaged, two spans of it being
I swept off the piers, but it fortunately
> lodgtd against some trees and c?n be
put back with very little trouble. The
bridge over Shoals Creek was washed
away. It is said the water was from
tluee to four feet over the ll)or of Ilar1
ris' bridge. No bridges have been rei
ported down on the Tyger river, as they
are all built very high above the water.
lirown's Creek on the opposite side of
town was a raging torrent, and the dam
t at Harris' mill has been swept away
and the shoal rocks, which have been
covered for years, were washed clear of
' the sand ai.d are bare now, showing that
the bed of the stream lr.is l>een consi 1erably
washed out. It is hard to estimate
the damage to the farmers, fortunately,
however, not much of the crop
had been planted. In the way of roa-l
and bridge repairing the cost to the
i coanty is going to be a considerable item.
, ?
A Grnckcr-Jack Team.
i Quite a little hubbub of excitemet was
: caused at the depot last Tuesday night
upon the arrival of the train from Spars
tunburg, especially by the base bail eni
lliusiasts who hapixnied to be present.
, As i he train stopped there was a regular
stampede from the train to the Gibbes
dinner house by a jolly, good-looking
and lively gang of boys in the regulation
base ball sweaters. They literally tumbled
. over each other in getting from the train
to the eating house, they were as active
i as eats and brim full of fun. It made
. one think of the ball season last year, and
5 the question "who are they?" was heard
! on every side. As soon as supper yvjis
( over we cornered the captain of the
1 team, Mr. J. F. Itoyster, a jolly, good
i uatured young gentleman, who was en.
thusiastic over the good record his team
) has so far made this season. From him
r we learned that the team was the Wake
; Forest college team of N. C., and that
f they were 0:1 their way to play the At,
lanta "Tecks" Wednesday and the
. Macon team Thursday and Friday. His
team had played 7 games so far, losing
only two, these two were surrendered to
Wofford College team by close shaves
Monday and Tuesday. The game Mon.
day being 7 to .'5 and the game Tuesday
; being 1 to 0, both in favor of Wofford.
r The Tuesday's game was a remarkable
. one, there having been only four hits on
f each side and only one error in the game,
this was credited to Wofford. It was rc,
ported to be the finest game t\vr witr
nessed in Spartanburg. Mr. Koysb r
says Wofford has :v very line team,
. and a splendid set. of fellows compose it.
Tlio Wako Forest team aie certainly a
, line looking lot of gentlemanly young
f men. In the rejiort of Monday's game
at Spartanburg the Herald say of tl e
team:
, "The team from "Wake Forest is ont
. of the most gentlemanly ones that it ha.v
. been Wollord's good fortune to play or.
the home grouuds in some time. Noi
i, once during the game was there any
dissatisfaction at the decisions of the inn
pire. To use an expression of the ball
ground, it was a very "clean" game from
start to finish. The Wake Forest lioys
have impressed the boys on the campic
as being gentlemen in every resjicct."
We told Capt. ttoyster that we wort
J getting up a team for Union, and wt
" hoped to have the pleasure of crossitip
. bats with his men. He said they wouhi
be gla-l t?? accommodate us. The fol
lowing gentlemen compose this line team

'' Sick on the Train.
*' A sad sight was witnessed 011 the 111
a pissenger train Sunday. Dr. M. T
Smith reteived a telegiam to meet tin
train at the depot to attend a nick lad;
who was aboard. When the train ar
a rived it was found that Mrs. Franl
j Dai by was very ill from nervous prostra
' lion. She was accompanied by her sister
e and wasatteudtd by Dr. Jeter who cann
up with her from Carlisle. The lad;
became ill directly after leaving Coluni
bia, 011 her way to her home in Ashe
ville. She was exhausted from a perio<
o of illness in Columbia. She had sevcra
violent attacks while here and it ro<|nire<
e the strength of two or three to hold her

and chloroform. Neither of the physi

and she was made as comfortable as tin
circumstances would admit and wa
