The two years pas i have been one day of eternal sun shine and happiness with Billy ir [ the wedded life. The smiles anc 3 caresses of the amiable and devotee . Mrs. Felix have been most soothing but they were all knocked into ? cocked hat a few days ago when the little Miss Felix fell sick. All fell . gloomy and despondent, but by the hand of an all wise providence oui 3 home is again lit up with sunshine with her smiles and prattles. t A cold wave struck us again and many porkers fell victims to the r butcher's knife.

Messrs. D. B. Sphaler and G. L. 1 Hutto have gone to Alabama to look after timber for the purpose of boxing. 1 Iq my last communication I said that the Rev. T. F. Rivers had occupied the Ciippard home. It is not that one, but G. W. Sightler's mansion. George Dewey felt highly exalted after the battle of Manila, but nothing in comparison to what Rev. Tom Rivers felt the other night when the members of his -church here slipped in on him as Dewey did on the Spaniards in the Bay of Manila He was pounded equal to Morro Castle by the American fleet. I have seen Tom surprised on several occasions, but nothing equal to this one, when the flour, hams, pudding and sausages, sugar and coffee, fruits and money and other thiDgs too numerous to mention were being piled down. You just ought to have seen his eyes. Almost equal to tho full moon in August. There is a popular sportiDg youDg man now who wears a great long face since tho passage of marriage license law. Says he's not able to pay the fee should she consent to become bis bappy bride. Our farmers are looking forward to the preparation of lands for the coming crop. We hope you met with an abun dance of success, Mr. Editor, while on our side, in pursuit after the mighty spondulix. Campaign year is upon us, and I just want to say right here that we have some good men for office. We propose to put up an all round man to make the race for Sheriff, and the man that beats him will be our next officer. Ere you hear from me again, Mr. Editor, I'll be feasting at that heavy laden table prepared for the express purpose to feast at after performing that most delightful ceremony. Should Billy not fail in the discharge of this duty and the present health of the pleasant Felix family continues, you may again hear from Billy Felix. Gaston, January 22, 1900. Meeting cf Teachers' Association. The third meeting of the association for this scholastic year was held ?. it mi* n i in .Lexington scnooi ounaing on oaiurday, December 23, 1899, at eleven 'o'clock. President J. Frank K}zer called the meeting to order, and in the absence of Secretary, L. A. Sease, 0. D. Seay was appointed Secretary pro tern. Calling the roll and reading the minutes were dispensed with, on account of Secretary's absence. The day was cold, damp and raining and yet the attendance was real good; many teachers C3me from a distance. These facts go to prove the zeal, energy and love some teachers have for the noble profession they have chosen. Miss Sue Corley had an excellent paper on reading. She discussed , the subject clearly and thoroughly, impressing her hearers with the fact that she knows bow to teach reading as well as to talk about it. The dis' cussion was a credit to the author as 1 well as a benefit to the hearers. Upon the above subject some favorable comments, valuable criti ) cisms and helpful suggestions, were made by Prof. Thad Dreher. A paper replete with valuable suggestions, in every detail showing thoughtful and careful preparation, teeming with thoughtful plans, well balanced and careful iu its entire j make up, was read by Miss Gertrude Geiger. The blackboard, that indispensible i piece of school furniture, which has been the means of making so many helpful methods possible of introduction iulo teach'r's work, was spoken od by P of B D. Wessiuger. Mr. Wessinger is a deliberate, thoughtful ad entertaining speaker. He gave the teachers many valuable hints as to the use of the blackboard. His arguments showed careful preparation aud were listened to with much interest. Some valuable remarks were made on the above mentioned subject by Mr. Frank Ivyzer. Tui-i was a very pleasant and instructive meeting to all, aud it is only to be regretted that the day was such as to make it unfavorable -. f/w mnra toaMlora fo hp nrP<5Pnh A 9 y k \J k LU VI V bVJWUVl O W M v wwm ? ?? t a good many of the schools in the - county will bs closing soon, the next i meeting should bo the banner one of 1 the year.

Worthy cf Support. To the Editor of the Dispatch: The Boozer school (colored) will close in a few days. The term, although of short duration, has, under the management of Wm. Howard, of Benedict college, passed through the greater part of one of its most successful rears. This article is to ask the sympathies of those in authority, and the well wishers among our whitefriends for what they might do either directly or otherwise. But especially is the appeal made to those among our own people whose responsibilities ought to arouse them to some action in their own behalf. With a little forethought and a corresponding action we could materially affect the educational interests among our people of the community which, besides its present benefits, in the process of time would mean morally and other-' wise a higher standard of living for us.
