Concord Times, Joly 14th. On Sunday afternoon, July 5th, .there was a "rucus" at the home of Jack Honeycutt ofsNo, 9 town ship, and as a result Honeycutt was right badly cut and Charles Smith laid up for several days from bruises received. It seems that Smith and Jesse Cox went to Honeycutt's house and in some way got into a dispute with him. Honeycutt struck Smith with a hoe handle, and inflicted some ugly bruises. Smith drew his knife and gave Honeycutt a swipe across his left Bide, and inflicted A painful but dangerous wound. r He also cut him across the breast, but this did not get through his clothing. Smith was taken to Tom Swinson's house.where he laid in bed for several days. No ar rests have yet been made. ALBEMARLE AND STANLY COUNTY. MOCKSVILLE AND DAY1E COUNTY. Death of an old Citizen.
