The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, October 21,1903. An Enjoyable Occasion. Qn the 26th of September, this D-1. Shealy, of near Chapin, reached the 56th milestone on the journey cf life. Fifty-six years of good, faithful performance of every trust imposed upon him as a citizen, a neighbor, a husband, a father and a friend had been taken from his allotted time, -3 ?'? fV>of V>ia Traliiahlo iifn BUU IU giauiiuuo vuuu utu had been spared thus long, his children tendered to him a birthday supper at his residence. Only the immediate relatives of the family and a few specially invited friends, among the latter being Congressman A. Frank Lever, an old friend of the family, were present, and yet so numerous is the tribe uShealy" that not less than a hundred people, meD, women and children enjoyed the hospitality and good cheer of the occasion. The table was arranged out in the yard, for the dining room would not accommodate the number who bad come to offer congratulations and wish bim God speed and many more years of usefi ln?es; and it was such a table as only the good wives and 'daughtere of this blessed section can ^ i prepare. .tseautiiuiiy aecoratea whd the cboisest flowers, it was more substatially decorated with every good thing that the inner man calls good. Tour correspondent, who is not a ' big eater, but by the time he had tasted of the various tempting things persuading his appetite, he found it necessary to let out his belt a few notches. After the supper the youDg folk of the crowd enjoyed a most pleasant dance to music furniehed by the Counts string band, an organization of musical talent that can't be beaten in the world of amateur music. The old folk looked on, and reveled in the memory of other days when they carried in their step and on their cheek the sprightliness and bloom of youth and love. The crowd broke at eleven, wended its way homeward and decided in is mind that it had never enjoyed an occasion more. May all the family live to see many returns of this happy event, and may Mr. Shealy grow stronger and stronger in the esteem of his friends and Mr. Shealy be spared many years of usefulness as a citizen. One Present. t The above article has been in this office for sometime but it has been impossible to publish it before this. ?Editor of the Dispatch.] There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it * *?- ct?j *? ? IB11S to cure, oeuu aui' ^auivuiaio and testimonials. Address, F. J.

Till- I bUlOOII tUC ^LCCtUV k4>H* w> v- ? - man, charged with the murder of N. G. Gonzale. It will doubtless seem strange to many why I Bhould be interested in the trial. It is because the murder was committed in my old native State and prominent citizens of the State are connected with it. I have kept up with it from the time the killing was done until the preeent time. Well, Mr. Editor, as to the crop report of our county, we have a fine corn and hay crop. Wheat and cotton crops are not so good. Cotton Buffered from the drouth of the past gngMg mamammammmmmmmmmmt two months. The crop will not be so large as previously estimated. I think not over a half crop will be made. I have enjoyed the pleasure of attending the Missouria State fair at St. Louis last week. It was magnificent and a grand success, and the eight on the grounds where the world's fair is to be in 1904, is superbly beautiful. The tremendous holel being erected on the grounds of the St. Louis Fair is to be of steel, three stories in height and will cover an area of fourteen acres. The dining room will be large enough to seat a brigade of soldiers and the plans contemplate the accommodation of seven thousand guests. It is said it will b9 the largest hotel in the world. The Louisiana Territory embraces the country lying west of the Mississippi river to the summit of the Rocky Mountains. The Louisiana Territory has been divided into twelve States and two Territories. I hope, Mr. Editor, to have the pleasure of meeting you. together with many more of my South Carolina friends, in 1904. With best wishes to you and your Dispatch, I remain your friend, J. Ed. Kyzer.

Y, "but, when all other remedies failed, we saved her life with Dr. King's New Discovery. Our niece, who had Consumption in an advanced stage, also used this wonderful medicine and today she is perfectly well." Desperate throat and lung diseases yield to Dr. King's New Discovery as to no other medicine on earth. Infallible for Coughs and Colds. 50o and SI.00 bottles guaranteed by Kaufmann Drug Co. vuibucMry.

Oa the afternoon of Tuesday, the 29th day of September, while preparing to attend a funeral in his church and apparently in good health, he was stricken down with paralysis and died in a few hours afterwards.
