A Long Life Ended.
After a long and desperate struggle
between nature and the great
enemy of mankind, death laid the
beloved form of the aged John Lupo
in the grave, on the 29th day of ]
April, 1896, in the 98th year of his
age, at his home about half way between
this place and Columbia, where
he had resided for nearly half a century.
He was one of nature's noblemen,
honest and upright in all his
transactions with bis fellow man, and i
an earnest and consistent member of
"the Methodist church. None knew !
him but to love him, and he leaves ,
behind a glcrious record of a well!
spent life as a heritage for those \
who follow after. The chair which j
he occupied in the church was drapped
in mourning in resp ect to his
memory. J

Depot Broken Into.
Some tramps broke into the depot
Monday night on the side toward
Maj Meetzes residence. The agent,
Mr. A. L. Hartley, heard them when
they broke in and going down frightened
them off before they could take
anything. The tramps had been
loafing around the depot all day
Monday for the purpose, it is thought,
of acquainting themselves with the
premises. They went toward Lewiedale,
and the agents and others along
the road would do well to be on the
lookout for them.
Ministers and Others Please NoticeThere
are a number of deaths and
marriages in the county that we do
! not hear of until some t'me after the
event happens. We would be under
many obligations to ministers and
others, if they will notify us on a
postal card of all deaths comiug
under their notice with name of
person, age, disease with which they
died, &c.. and all marriages with
name of contracting parties, date etc
Let All Come.
Many Columbians are getting into j
the habit of spending Sundays at i
this place. We are glad to know
this and hope to see many more of
our city cousins in our beautiful little
village. Our climate is delightfully
cool, invigorating and refreshing; the
village being situated on seven hills, ,
makes it dry and healthful The I
distance from Columbia is only twelve
miles, with good hard roads most of
he time, making it pleasant for either
bicycle, horseback riding or drive, i
We have a combination of town and
country life and the scenery is grand,
suburb and beautiful. There is no
reason why this place should not be- I
come the summer residences of our 1
neighbors across the Congaree and
we honestly believe that the day is i
not far distant when it will become 1
so.
No Shoddy Work. ]
Gen. R. N. Richbourg of Columbia
i3 the official watch inspector for the
Southern Railway, Co. He is a first
class watchmaker of long standing
and employs none but first class
workmen and uses the verv best 1
41 i
materials, so persons having watches
in need of repair or to be overhauled
should carry them to his establishment.
He also keeps a well selected
stock of jewelry, watches, silver and
gold ware and his goods are all war- '
rented to be just as represented. No 1
shoddy work is done at his establishment
and no base metal is sold for :
silver or gold. Give him a trial.

To tbe Editor of the Dispatch.
Please give space in your paper
for the following statement: Your
report of a statement made before
the County Convention on the 4th
instant, as to the Lewiedale Democratic
club not having been organized
was to the effect that the failure to
%
organize said club was due to the
unexplained absence of the president.
As requested by tbe County Chairman,
I had the Secretary to call out
our club and on the evening of the
meeting of the club, I sent word to
the Secretary that I could not attend,
and requested that they organize and
elect delegates to the convention,
which I think ought to have been
sufficient to explain my absence.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Having seen nothing in your
columns from this section in some
time, I will endeavor to give you a
few lines which I hope will be of interest
to your many readers. The
farmers of this section are through
planting cotton and are plougLing
corn, but we are having so much
rain at present, they are not doing
much with General Green, who is
raging with all his fury. When you
pass the farms of Mr. A. L. Smith
and Mr. J. W. ScoflSll you will hear
the clang of the hoe as the cotton is
being put to a stand, especially the
latter, who has the largest cotton
farm in this section.
Mr. J. E. Dunbar and others are
trying to get some large bunches of
lumber off to Charleston in this rainy
season.
Mr. Jerome Lucas, who has been
very ill, is convalescent.
Mr. H. V. Risb, who has been confined
to his room for nearly three
weeks with pneumonia, has recovered
far enough to be out again.
The small grain crops of this section
are looking very promising at
present.
It seems as if the matrimonial
fever that was raging through this
section sometime ago has ceased and
politics has taken its place.
We are looking for a fine crop of
candidates this summer and a general
handshaking around among the farmers,
because they never forget us on
campaign years.
Much success to the Dispatch.
