A
Homicide Near Tyger River.
Last Sunday morning on what is
known as the Sing Jeter place, in
Goshen Hill township, near Tyger
river, one Laurens Sartor shot and
killed Henry Booker with a double
barrel shot guu In Booker's own
house. We have not been able to
get all the facts in the case, as Magistrate
Spencer Sims had held the
Inquest before Deputy Coroner B. F
Gregory reached the place of the
killing, and has not sent in the papers
to the clerk of the court Laurens
Sartor was arrested and lodged in
we learn that theoauseof the killing
was the 111 treatment by Booker
of his wife, who is s sister of Laurens
Sartor. Booker had beaten her on
8atarday and shs fled to her brother's
house, and Booker went there Sunday
morning and took her baok home,
Her brother Laurens followed them
baok home, and when Booker attempted
to beat'her again, Laurens
fired upon Booker, the load entered
the body under the rignt arm killing
him almost instantly. The parties
to this shocking tragedy are all oolk?nd.

To Abate a Nuisance.
The Atlanta Journal of the 21 Inst,
says suit has been brought againot
I Mr. W. Q. Sharkey, a contractor In
| the city of Atlanta, to abate a nuisance
complained of by many citixons.
Mr. W. G. Sharkey has a contract
for the building of First new
Baptist church in the city of Atlanta.
He uses a small donkey engine for
hoisting material, and the noise this
engine makes has caused the complaint,
and brought the matter hefore
the city recorder's oourt, for the
purpose ot Stopping the noise. A
number of plans were suggested, by
which the work could be done with
less noise. All of the suggestions,
however were of such a nature as to
impair and Impede the efficiency of
the work of the engine. No satisfactory
conclusions were reached, and
we suppose Mr. Sharkey will proceed
with his work.
Cut Her Husband's Throat.
Last Laturday night Mary Jane
Wood, with a large Bharp pocket
knife, cut her husband, William
Wood, on the neck and stabbed him
several time in the breast and on the
arm. The wound on the neck came
very near being fetal, for had it been
a little longer and deeper, it would
have severed the large vein, which
won'd have ended his life. Mary
Jane was arraigned before the Mayor's
court Monday morning, oharged with
i disorderly conduct and fighting.
She pleaded guilty and. was fined
20 dollars or 80 days in jail. She
will be presented for assault and battery
of a high and aggravated nature
i at the next term of the ciront} court,
i This is not the first time, vte hear,
; that Jane has used her knife.) Wll?
> flam Wood Is a very good and quiet
man, and we hope he will e^on recover
from hie wounds.

MRS. MARY GRANT DEAD.
An Estimable Christian Woman ha:
< Gone, to Her Reward?The End
Came Wednesday Evening- at 7
O'clock. "*
Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock
Mrs. Mary Grant, widow of the late
James Grant, breathed her last, at
her home on Main street. Mrs
Grant had not been sick but a few
days previous to her death. In the
ar)y summer she had a very sever*spell
of sickness at which time her
life was dispared of, from that illness
she recovered, but she had not been
as well as previous to that attack.
Mrs. Grant came to Union with
her husband about 1858 or '59, camhere
from Charleston where Mr.
Grant had been employed in building
the Catholic Cathedral. Union
never had two better or more highly
respected citizens. Mrs. Grant was
a devoted wife, kind and thoughtful
neighbor, against whom no one
ever had any oause to complain. She
was among the oldest of Union's citizoos.
Nearly all of the old people
who were here when she came, are
dead. She leaves no near relatives
here, except her sister, Mrs. Philip
Dunn, her niece, Mrs. D. C. Flynn.
Mrs. Grant had no children. She
adopted Mrs. Mamie Purcell, when
a very small child, reared, loved and
cared for her as though she were her
own. Too much cannot be said of
this Jgood woman. We trust others
will profit by her example. Father
A, K. Gwynn, Catholic priest from
Greenville, S. C., was with Mrs.
Grant when she died, and will con>.
duct the barial services. The interment
will be in the old village oenietery
beside the grt^ve of her husband.
