office. As soon as Billy puts his
residence in thorough repair, Mrs.

one of our brightest and most popular
school teachers, the Liberty Hill ,
school will close on March 18. The
exercises will commence at 10 o'clock
a. m., sharp. The patrons and the
public generally are cordially invited

rendition will prove interesting to
young and old alike. '
We very much regret that we have
been compelled to discontinue the (
r \
Dispatch to the address of some of
our careless subscribers, but in all
candor and fairness, they have forced 1
us to do so by their own negligence.
It cannot be reasonably expected that
we can afford to send the Dispatch i
without some compensation. In the
lu'ure none but prompt pacing sub- I
scribers need expect the Dispatch
continued to them. Like other labor- 1
ing people, the printers would like
to have what is due them in order to ! 1
meet their honest obligations.
The wind is no respecter of persons.
The rich and poor, the high
and low who expose themselves to '
the elements are treated alike. We '
were forcibly reminded of the truth- 5
fulness of this axiom Monday night j
when a rising young attorney and | |
prominent town official was walking j 1
along the street with stately mein, ;
in the gale which was prevailing 1
then the wind politely lifted his ?4
stylish Stetson, gently canied it over
tbe roof of the court house, waltzed j
around with it in the air several (
times and returned it to mother |
earth on Main street in front of tbe ; !
residence of Mr. Hall, where it wai i

In this age of progress and cu
lightened civilization, when it is the
rule that everybody is for themselves ;
and the devil for us all, it is pleasing !
to note that there are exceptions to
the rule, and that there are seme j
who have the "milk of human kind
ness in their breast." Notably among
this latter class we note with pleasure,
the well known grocery firm, of
Piatt, Hook ?\ .Sbull, Columbia. Con
tented with small profits so that >
others can live, they olTer f;r sale a
well selected stock of plantation jil d

maiked down to the lowest possible
notch. Their goods are the freshest
and for purity they cannot be ex

in their line give them a call and :
they will do the right thing by you. '

Eeturned to His Lost Love.
John Sheppard, colored, who with
Hamp Rawl, made his escape from
the chain gaDg and since the 30th
day of January has been on the
move dogging the officers of the law
by hiding in the hedges and by ways
became tired of living from hand to
mouth and sighed for the flesh pots
of the chain gang, so hitherward he
turned his weary footsteps and arriving
at the camp on last Saturday
night and surrendered to Capt. C.
L. Meetze. The hard hearted captain
did not, however, kill the fatted
calf to welcome hie prisoner back,
but instead celebrated the event by
placing a pair of steel bracelets on
the wonderer's wrists. John will
now probably serve out his sentence.
His partner Hamp Riwl, has not
been heard of since he took leg bail
but the officers expect to have him
back in the wigwam before many
moons.
The gang is now at Spring Hill
and trill remain tViere fnr finmptilTlfi

of the town. That all rioting,
drunkenness and the use of obscene
and indecent language as well as discharging
fire arms on the public
streets or any other disorderly conduct
shall be stopped and that our
Btreets be kept in good repair. In
carrying out the ordinances in tbeee
respects the newly elected officeis
will have the moral and physical sup
port of all good citizens.

aDy financial obligations issued by
the so called assembly cf the Cuban
army, now in session near Habana.
Should this body see fit to authorize
the issue of any bonds for any purpose
the government of the United

them, and they must stand on
their own resources iu that matter.
Railroad building in South Carolina
is to have the biggest revival j
known in recent years, judged by the I
number of new charters granted by j
the General Assembly just closed.
According to these charters there are !
. I
eleven new railroads projected, having
iu round numbers au aggregate J
length of SOO mil's.
The recent fre< ze killed thousands i
of birds of all kinds throughout the
State. An Ornngebergiau says he
found fifty two doves under an upturned
tree frozen to death. He
also said a covey of partridges had
bc-eu found in his neighborhood I
frozen stiff It is said that someone {
counted eighty birds dead on the '
South Carolina and Georgia railroad j '
between Orangeburg and Jamison, a !
distance of seven miles.
The man who has never clone an}'- j
thing foolish should watch himself ;
well until he is dead.
