Shealey, of Boiling; Springs, killed, last week, five coons and a wild cat. The merchant that sent us a watermelon on Tuesday is certainly mis-1 taken if he thinks they are like whis- j key?the older the better. Scott Hendrix has just received five | barrels?not of bug juice?but the \ finest corn and rye whiskey and cog- j nac brandy. Call and give her a sip.: A distinguished gentleman who was j here on'the 5th fell in love with a Lexington lady, "at first sight." She: improves on acquaintance, sir; so: come again. The Dispatch will be sent, as a! premium, six months to the person j presenting us with the largest water-1 melon this season.

It is not only a very inter-j esting, but also a most useful work, j It is carefully gotten up and contains much valuable information. Col. Jno. F. Hobbs is home again, having been away over a month on a visit to friends and relatives in .fccige field. He is looking as well and bap-; py as ever, and is already going right, ahead at law. Messrs. Henry E. Harman and L. JL Seay leave us on Saturday. The i (former goes to attend college at Gettysburg, Pa., and the latter to the I sbusinesss college of Poughkeepsie, X.! Y. May success attend them. Mr. F. C. Caughmau is now with Mr. B. F. Griffin, the well-known; grocery man of Columbia. We take! the liberty of saying that "Calhoun" would be glad at any time to see his Lexington friends and "sell them i largely." Mrs. Eichelberger and Miss Estelle ' Lenier, of Edgefield, paid Lexington j a short visit last week; came Wed-j loff TTHMOVT niArn_ ' UeSUttJ CfCLIlU^ ttuu leui nuuj iuuiwing. Certainly a flying trip?would that it had not been. We will not; make any "invidious distinction," and therefore, will omit saying Miss L. is the "reigning belle," but we do 'most solemnly affirm that she is one of the belles of old Edgefleld. Mr. J. Hammond Lvbrand from this county, and now a guard at the penitentiary, at the shooting match of the guards in July, won the first prize being the best shot. If any of our patrons should fail to receive the Dispatch further they need not guess at the cause. We presume they know it. It is impossible for us to run a newspaper au<3 send it out to parties on a credit from one to three years, and wo don't intend to do it. Who was it, on Thursday, that introduced a certain individual seven times to the same candidate? The candidate said every time, "I'm so glad to see you," but imaiiy saw "i only wish it was your brother, he has a powerful influence." The numerous friends of Mr. A. N. Wannamaker announce him as a candidate for public patronage. He can be found at No. 170 Main St., Plait, Hook k Shuil's old stand, Coumbia, with a brand new and fresh stock of groceries, cheaper than the cheapest. Mr. W. T. Martin well and favorably known to many of our people having recently opened there with whom Mr. Wannamaker serves as clerk and will be pleased to see nil of his Lexington and Orangeburg friends. We have received from Mess. Ludden k Bates, the great music publishers of the South, Savannah, Ga., the Hancock and English Uuion March. Its popularity is already assured by its adoption everywhere, anil under its inspiring strains resounding from thousands of bands, pianos and organs throughout the Union the soldier-stfatesman will "forward march" into the "White House. Send 40 cts. and secure a copy at once. Miss Jane Bryce, well-known here, and formerly a resident of this city, died on the 5tb inst., at the residence of Dr. J. H. Carlisle, at Spartanburg. She was distinguished for her charity and uniform kindness to the poor and needy.? Yeoman. She was a resident here for several years, before the war, and no doubt, well remembered by many of our people. She was an excellent school teacher, and from whom we learned the alphabet. She often treated us on peppermint drops for good lessons. But she is gone, where all good people go. interests, will have a goodly number of printed tickets circulated among the voters at-each poll on the day of the primrry election. Send in your orders in time, gentlemen; neat and cheap work at the job office of the Dispatch. It is to be regretted that a number of ladies selected their places very near the stand on the 5th, for the sole purpose of showing their aversion to hearing good speeches. A crusade of this kind is certainly most agreeable to those who engage in it and decidedly anuoying to the speakers and to those whose tastes are so depraved as to give them a relish for a treat in the way of an excellent address. "Chatter-boxes" are precious things. They are good to de moiish any speaker wiio nasn t an iron will and brass lungs. That is doubtless what suggested the idea to General Butler, who said that it took a man with a great deal of brass to make a stump speech. Our merchants are all getting in large stocks of goods. This looks like business. Full stocks at all the stores, and a leading article seldom or never missing. Let the people around about Lexington come hither; for whatever they want they cau get new, good and cheap right here. We regret that Col. Jno. B. Abney has declined to be a candidate for reelection to the Solicitorship. His re< -lit. nomination at me t/uuiuiai v/uincution would have been a mere matter of course, and it is a rare thing in these office-seeking and office-hungry days for a man voluntarily to relinquish a position of this kind. Seldom ever has any man served a people with as much credit to himself and satisfaction to them. He carries with him into his retirement the hearty "well-done" of all the people of the 5th circuit. Col. J"no. T. Sloan, of Columbia, and Col. Jno. F. Hobbs, of Lexington, are announced in the Dispatch this morning as candidates for Solicitor. Col. Sloau is a prominent lawyer oi the Columbia bar, and well known tc the people of Lexington. Col. Hobbs is a talented young lawyer of this placo and would no doubt make an excellent Solicitor. Messrs. Kyzer & Sou Lave just re! ceived ami are now opening i 3,01)0 yards of calico. 3,000 yards of homespun, domestic. | 1,000 yards of jeans. 1,000 yards dress goods all styles and prices. 500 pairs assorted shoes.

Owing to the bad weather we were not on hand at Crim's barbecue, but those who did go from the Village, brought back such accounts of the dinner as made us feel thut we had been fasting forty days and nights. Owing to the bad day the crowd was smaller than was expected. The candidates, however, were out in pretty good force. Speeches were made by Mujs. Meetze aud Leaphart, Drs. Muller and Brooker, Col. Juo. F. Hobbs, and Messrs. Schoenberg and Kyzer. General Quattlebanm introduced the speakers aud also made a i happy little speech himself. Mr. V. Gillman Beck, of Columbia, committed suicide yesterday, by shooting himself through the head with a pistol. About 10* o'clock be was sitting iu the room of Mrs. C. E. Beck, his sister-in law. He got up and walked towards the door. Mrs. Beck noticed that he had a pistol in. his hand aud asked him what he was j goiug to do, and jumped up and ran ! towards him, but before she could get I j to him, he had fired it off, blowing a j hole through Lis head. The ball I entered between one and two inches I above the right* ear. Mr. Beck was I addicted to occasional hard drinking, j and his rash act yesterday is no doubt I attributable to a nervous condition j caused by excessive dissipation in | which he had been indulging for sev eral days. He was employed as a salesman in the clothing house of Mr. j M. L. Kiuard. Hendrix House Arrivals.?F. W. i McMaster, Henry Heitsch, Johnson Hogood, Geo. Brnns and son, Wm.
