To tit- Editor of the Dispatcl: So u uch cold rainy weather uaakfs a gloomy outlook for farming interests. Very little has been done yeton the farm, aD<l everything in that line will be behind other years. Dr. J J. Biekley, who recently graduated at the Augusta Mod ice 1 college, has located hero for the practice of medicine. This gives us two doctors. At present the outlook is gloomy for the practice cf their profesrion, as we don't know of any sickness in this locality now. Our young friend, Mr. Iroin C. Nuuamaker, applied uDtoLimself tie word?, 'Tt is not good for man to | live alone'' and took unto himself the j beautiful Miss. Gussie Kibler, of j X^wberry. The groom and bis attendants boarded the eleven o'clock train at Irrno last Wednesday, the >tb inst.. and, by the kindness of Mr. W G. Child?, the train stopped at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. Gus. Singley, and let them off Soon the twain became one and the happy little party met the south bound t ain at the same place, and returned tolrmo. They spent the night at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. B. F. Svygert, and next day proceeded to tho parental roof of the groom, whero they were greeted by kindred and friends. Mr. Chas. P. Robinson has completed his nice two story building and has become one of our townsmen. Ki9 machinery is first class and up to-date, and he is an up-todate business man along with it. Mr. J. W. Conner has his turpentine distillery about ready for operation and will soonfcommence to put the piDe product on the market. Wo would be glad to welcome more such g- n lemen as Ilobinson and Conner amoDg us. Judge J. Marshall Sbealy has his lice cleaning outfit in ruuDiDg order and is ready to hull this product of the Cirolinaa. Our town has had a bountiful supply of showmen, peddlers and tramp orators. Prof. Frady was here with his sleight of hand, magic lantern, hypnotism and black faced commedian. Mr. Miles tried to supply the town with a new kind of smoothing iroD, and Mr. Barrett, who left the opinion that he had been all sorts of a man, lectured at the church and wound up with a varied entertain ment at the school houee, where he appeared in clown attire and gave his audience a slice or two of elocution, witticisms and show songs. In a storm about a week ago the colored Methodist church at this place was blown flat to the ground. The town council has had a town well bored near the depot, which will supply a long felt Deed. The Sunday school here is looking forward to childrens' day, which has been appointed for the fifth Sunday. The dogwood is in full blossom and old fishermen tell us that fish will bite now. We often think of the sand hill fishing expeditions of our editor, and wish that we could run away from the telegraph key and go with him 10 these fine fish ponds and enjoy a few delicious fries. April 10, 1899. H. Samaria Happsnings, To the Editor of the Dispatch: Farmers aie very much behind with their woik in this section on ac count of the continued rain. Some corn has been planted, and some has come up, but it is too cold for it to make much progress in growing. Sir. J. W. Grandy, who has been conCDed to his bed for several months, is, we are glad to say, able to be up again, but is not able to attend to any business as yet. Nelson Quattlebaum's wife, after a spell of illness, passed away last night about 8 o'clock. She was a respectable colored woman, and was highly esteemed by the entire community iu which she resided. Mr. Wade Hall has his saw mill running now, cutting lumber for the Batesburg lumber company. The Southern Express company will soon open an office at this place. It will be known by the name of Westmoreland, and will be quite a convenience for the people of this section. Rev. EvaDS Hall has been canvassing for a short time on bx,ks and has sent in quite a large order. The books will be received for delivery shortly. W. W. Apiil 9, 1899. It is the opinion of Attorney Gen- | eral Bellinger that the State railroad j commission cannot interfere with j the schedules of passenger trains. Congressman Stoke3 is reported | to have been quite ill at his home in j Orangeburg, but is reported to bo convalescent. The Americans, under General Lawton, have again met the Filipi- j nos and routed them with great* loss.
