We would not have your many subscribers think for one in; ni'-nt that we are living all to ourselvss by our j long silence; we are here, and are still keeping abrea3t in the age of progrcssivene3s. Each day signs of progress can be seen, citizenship bo/v-kminor rvmra diimified. demands for o stores, and homes being in excess to the supply, purchasing of lots still in great demand and erection of beautiful houses and cjttages ail tend to prove that we are on the onward march in the liue of progress. Our town today ei j >ys a boom the like of which she has never experienced. Never in her history has there been such increasing demand as confronts her for stores and homes to supply her people with the necessaries of life and comforts. Only a few months ago stores were at a discount, now, since the erection of some fifty or more cottages with an increase of population the supply does not -meet the demand. Merchants in other sections are keen to engage in business, and today varied articles are for sale, thus keeping the money realized within our own borders. True it can be said that i ji i. _ improvement ot every Kina can ue seen, already tha ring of the anvil and the shrill sound of the whistle can be heard. The Hagood MTg. Co., is taxed to its utmost. Only a few years ago did this enterpiise begin and the patronage was so small as not to guarantee a sufficient dividend to continue operation. Today this company has increaeed its plant, giving employment to many in the manufacture of building material, indeed, it can b9 said that ! from the increasing demand for material this company will have to increase its capacity to meet the continuing demands of th9 public. Mr. E. E. Hagood, the manager is a wide-awake, up to-date business man and his push in this enterprise is very commendab'e. It cently the Town officials have i been struck with an idea to keep apace with the progress that is going on. Oar town hall is entirely out of date. W.e need a larger and better arranged hall. With the increase of population, most invariably disorderly characters will seek refuge, and expansion now being the cry of the times, our city farthers at an early date will erect a two story brick buildiog of more modern style. W. M. Corley, the newly appointed Magistrate, makes a first rate judge. He has already had several cases and in each instance be has proven himself thoroughly familiar with the law in meeting out justice to his prisoners. The Brookland High School under n / the efficient management of Prof. J. S. Derrick, assisted by Miss May Shull, is in a flourishing condition. More than 130 pupils have been enrolled this session. Once more the P. 0. will change hands. It has been the custom heretofore to have gentlemen at the head of its management, but on February 1st, the office will be presided over by one of the fair sex. Miss Hattie Haws will be post mistress and we predict during her term of office less accumulation of mail and unnecessary advertisement, for mail is sure to be called for and we know will be grateiuuy distributed. . Mr. Harwell Roof and Miss Geneva Price were married on last Thursday evening in the Lutheran church, the father of the groom, Rev. W. H. Roof assisted by Rev. E. L Lybrand officiating. While the wise men of the Slate are now racking their brain in the formation of new laws and the revision of the old ons, it may be well to say that the people of the State are watching with interest the qiestions at issue, for instance, the tire bill and the marriageable license bill is commented upon by semi of our farmers and younger generation, all to which we say there are p'am tires, cushion tires and pneumatic tire, but the most common tire that is being now discussed and "cussed" ever the State is the new Mauldin broad wagon tire. A few days ago some one stole Mr. Hainp Caughman's watch, pistol, &2., but awake to the loafers here, Mr. 1 Ciughman suspected guilty partit.3 and put detectives on trail which resuited in the arrest of Pornpsy Taylor and Ned Howell.

A constant reader of the Disiiatcb, but who does not subscribe and pay for it, was taught a lesson the other day when he went to borrow his neighbor's piper that, all borrowers should learn and profit by. He was told that it was time for him to plank down his own cart wheel and have the Dispatch sent to his address for a year and not sponge cn bis neighbor for news. Mr. Luther Long, the town's Digbt watchman, lays no claims to a forecaster of the weather, in fact he is neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet, but he kuows cold weather when he feels it, and he affirms that he felt it Monday night while on duty. lie deponeth that it was the coldest night of the winter, too cold for fire : .rn and he had to eat ice to keep .4j:n freezing to death. ?sp:sure to Wet, Dimpeess and cold, invariably results in a sudden chill, which if not attended to immediately will cause a cold.
