LEXINGTON. S. C.,
WSINFSDAY. JANUAIY i7. ltOO.
Through the County.
List Monday we resumed our
chuse after the ever fleeing Almighiy
Dollar. The weather bad conside:aMy
moderated, but the rise in the
thermometer brought rain and its
attendant tvils which were about as
disagreeable in which to take a drive
as the biting- and stinging cold cf
the preceding week.
Notwithstanding the mud and
slush, we arrived at Wessinger, right
sidfi nn with r.are. and finding the
people all ready, we dispatched our
work in double quick time and hastened
on to our next appointment.
Ariiving at the Lome of Mr. Josh
Sbealy, and finding the latch string
on the outside, we were soon made
comfortable and was entertain*d by
our old friend, who is an interesting
c mversationalist. Mrs. Shealv prepared
excellent meals which we
heartily enjoyed.
We spent all day Tuesday in the
thriving and prosperous little town
of Chapin and found the place on
tie qui vive over the prospects of
soon baviDg a cotton factory in opera
tion there. Capt. R. W. Frick and
J. S. Wessinger are the leaders in
this prospective enterprise and are
leaving no stone unturned to make it
a success. There is no reason why
they should not succeed in their undertaking.
All that is needed is for
each individual to put his shoulders
to the wheel and give it a push.
Tuesday night we spent beneath
the hospitable roof of Mr. James B.
Addv, near the Cross Rjads. Mr.
Addy is a prominent citizen of our
i _ n i 11 # n 1
county, ana Demg wen miormea aDa
taking an active interest in everything
pertaining to the avocation of
? farming, his friends hope to see him
promoted from a Supervisor of Registration
to a more lucrative office in
the near future. He has just completed
and moved into his new residence.
Here we met his father, Mr.
Jake Addy, who is one Of our war
comrades and er.j >yed going over
with him the memorable and stirring
scenes of long ago.
o o
Bright and early Wednesday we
were at the Cross Roads, where we
found the sturdy farmers of that
neighborhood leathered in immhprR
r? O "
to list their property, and consequently
we experienced no vexatious
delay.
Wednesday afternoon, we were at
Peak, and comfortably lodged in the
hotel presided over by Mis. Stuck,
who entertained us right royally
with excellent fare and a comforta
ble bed. She certainly entertaii s
lavishingly at a moderate charge.
We met a large number of warm
friends, whom we were glad to shake
hands with. At this place the rain
poured in torrents and delayed our
departure for our next appointment
some hours, and at last we htd to
leave in the rain.
At Spring Hill Thursday, the Ux
payers met us already prepared for
business, which was quickly transacted
to the satisfaction of all concerned.
White Bock was the next place on
the schedule and we arrived there
Thursday afternoon and found a big
crowd anxious to get through the
business on hand so as to get to
their various homes before the shades
of night came creeping on. We took
dinner with that substantial and enterprising
citizen, Mr. D. A Richardson.
By special invitation we spent the
night with Mr. Wm. Seller, who
resides on the road to Mrs. Busby's,
oar next appointment. lie is an
otber old war comrade and is one of
the survivors of the now thinned
ranks of the 20th regiment.
At Mrs. Busby's Friday morning
a large crowd of the faithful sons of
toil responded to the Auditor's call
and came out from their homes to
tell his representative the amount of
their worldly possessions in dollars
and cents. Our services were called
into requisition to assist our friend Mr.
Addy, so as to complete the work in
time to reach our next place of stopping.
Friday evening and Saturdav
morning we tfere at Irmo, pleasantly
domiciled in the pretty residence of
Mr. Elias Metz, who charitably
looked after our comfort and that of j
our horse.
Saturday afternoon found us at
Mr. Robert Hook's, near Leaphart's,
where we enjoyed a splendidly prepared
dinner and erj >}ed very much
the presence of his charming and interesting
family.
Saturday night we were at home
toasting our toes on our own hearth
stone and quietly erj *jing a much
needed rest.
Oa this trip we noticed that such <
a large quantity of small grain had 1 i
been planted, that many farmers j
have found it necessary to open up ! ]
old fields and natural forests for the ! <
cotton crop. All the people have '
started the new year with a vim and j
energy which betokens do good fo*
weeds and grass and with brigb'
h"pes of an abundant aLd nmuneru

the coming of a new and precious' baby
into the world first feel, is that they may
not themselves be able to go safely
through the trying ordeal, and secondly
conies the fear that the darling little
baby's life or health or general wellbeing
may somehow be sacrificed.
But there is no real need of apprehension
in either direction. If any woman
who is expecting to become a mother

Stiles, of Downing, Dunn Co., Wis., the
most perfect confidence mav be felt in
the happy outcome of this critical period,
both for the mother and the child.
' I have been intending to write to you ever
6ince my baby was born," says Mrs. Stiles in
an interesting letter to Dr. R. V. Pierce of Buffalo.

Prescription ' has done for me. I cannot praise

ancl since I got up I have not had one sick day.
I have not had any womb trouble since I got up.
I was uot only surprised myself but all of my
friends here are surprised to see me so well,"
The properties of this grand " Prescription
" and what it has accomplished
for thousands of women, are more fully
descril>ed in one chapter of the People's

Pierce, M. D., a splendid thousand-page
illustrated volume. It wili be sent free
paper-bound, for 21 one-cent stamps to

for 31 stamps.
The "Favorite Prescription" is entirely free
from alcohol, unlike nearly all other proprietary
medicines for women, which merely give a temporary
stimulation and are likelv to induce a
morbid, unhealthy craving. The " Favorite
Prescription " gives energy and nerve-tout that
is real, healthy and permanent.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The new year has come and we
cannot escape its responsibilities, its
penalties and let us hope its pleas
UiCB.
Oar community has cause for gratitu
le, for blessiDgs in the past and
we may reasonably augur well for the
future, but sorrow is the lot of all
people, and we of course, cannot
escape. Death has invaded the
sanctity of our community and
bourne away a willing victim. Mrs.
Augie M. Lowell, a good woman,
loved and respected by all who knew
her, has passed to the reward for
which she had labored. The di.ughte:
of a minister of the Gospel and
the widow of another. Her opportunities
for spiritual development
were good and she improved them
with all her energy. She now lies
in our cemetery and the eulogy of
her pastor, Doctor Wiikins, was
pathetic and true to life.
There is some sickness caused by
mumps, in our towD, but otherwise,
the health of our people is good.

Mr. Edrd's resolution to make

thirds majority, but his other bill to

was killed.
Messrs. Montgomery, Marion and
Djkes were appointed a committee
on the part of the House to arrange
the programme of exercises in memory
to late Governor Ellerbe, which
is fixed for tomorrow.
A bill declaring that preference

The bill providing that the weight
of a bushel of bolted corn meal shall

OBITUARY.
Died near Hilton, S. C., January
10,1900, Mr. John Kibler, aged ?9
years, G months and 4 days. The
circumstances of Ibis death makes it
very sad. He with a friend, were
hauling logs on a log cart. "While
the log was being raised, by some
mean?, the sweep flew back, and hit
him on the head. He never regained
consciousness and death came in less
than a day. Mr. Kibler was a quiet,
unassuming, peaceable man, harming
no one and a member of Mt.
Olivet church, Spring Hill, S. C.
His body was carried to St. Paul's
church, in Newberry county, and
laid to rest near his old home. He
leaves a wife, one brother, two sisters
and an aged mother, with many
fiiends to mourn his departure.
