To the Editor of the Dispatch: The old family residence cf the late Rev. J. H. Bailey was visited on the night of December 29th, 1900, by a large company of the neighbors and friends of the family in the capacity of a donation party. This kindly deed was done in loving rememberance of the greatly revered | father and mother of Mr. J. E and j Misa Laara Baily who still reside in J the dear old homestead. The gifts were many and useful?among them, j one attracted Bpecial attention, as it - ? i - - .1 bore tbe name ol toe veneraoie auu elect lady Grandma Corley. Tbe recipients of these gifts will ever feel deeply grateful to ail who so royally and tenderly remembered them, and so beautifully honored their departed parents. A touching event of the evening was the directing of the attention of th.s assembly to the beautiful memorial tabl t a lorniDg the walls cf the parlor, upon which were inscribed the names of father, mother and son with the appropriate word?: "Goijo but not Forgotten,'' being literally verified in the loving deeds of those present. Precious is the consolation that the memory of the pure and the just is fraught with immortality. It is mo3t gratifying to all our Lutheran people to know that Rev. J. H. Bailey, for many years the beloved pastor of St. Stephen's Lutheran church , is held in such affectionate and sacred rememberance and his children are so greatly respected and loved. It i3 not at all pleasant to be eternally dunning delirquent subscribers nor is it profitable either, therefore we are determined to strike the names of all such from our listBefore doing so, however, we wiil g" ve them another opportunity to settle A representative of the Dispatch will attend the Auditor on bis rounds and it is hoped and expected that all who are in arrears will met him when in their neighborhood and pay a portion if net all what they a c due.

Swansea's Doings. To the Editor cf tbe Di-patcl: Another Christmas hafe come and gone and one mere year will scon be added to I be thousands since the Creator in bis might and wisdom, made tbe wide creation. Tbe first day of January is next Tuesday and another century will commence its momentous circles. It has not so many years since the first day of the year wa3 the 25ih day of March. That is how the name of September, October, November and December came into common us^gm September means seveuth, October eighth, November ninth and December tenth months, when they are really ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth months. Christmas has bee;a a quiet one, but little drunkeness and rcwdism around. '\Santy Ciaus" made his visits to the dear little children and none have been neglected. To see the little happy faces, telling of the many happy hearts within and witness their festive, iionocenc, childish glees make:3 us older ones vainly wi?h to be children again, if only for a little while, and really could we but gain the poet's prayer and desire when years ago he wrote: "Turn backward, turn backward o time in tby flight; And make me a child again just for tonight" How many of us would so joyfully forget the dignity of manhood or wcmanhood, and join in these gambols with our little one9. The sacred historians tell us that w i are the children of a king, the offspring of a prince that owns al!. nature and all her extended realms. With such an inheritance why are men and women not cheerful and happy too ? On Christmas day the head of a household near Swansea sent the little ones to tae place where safely, (as they thought) had been placed two large cakes for the happy day but quickly returning the messengers told that that "some mean, greedy dog" had broken in and had eaten both cake6, Mamma, Mamma." A kind of sigh passed over the elder ones, and the astonished iittle messengers conjecturing was a fine occasion for the artist to display his calling. With our joys and gladness we hg.vo had our distress and pains. Mrs. L V. Gantt has been confined to her house for some time but her physician considers her condition much improved. Several cases of sickness in the vicinity but none dangerous or critical. The school here continues to thrive and grow and Jas. V. Smith has over one hundred and twenty pupils enrolled. Archie MartiD, who graduated last summer at S. C. College with distinction, is teaching a flourishing school at Oak Grove, about five miles east of Lexington. Lin wood D. Coibilt from Furman University and Vivian Ri3t from Columbia Female College are home for Christmas. The young folks have had several sociables and candy pullings, and in soni9 caees have had a few shin digs and "brake-downs" during the holidays. Dr. A C. Langford,spent several days in Swansea and went to PregDalls to take the festive hours with other children. Last right the down freight by some carelessness of the switcher, straddled both tracts, some taking . one and some the other, ana one crossed on both and wrecked the tracks near it, and it was late till ihe sectioo boss, McDowell, could straighten out and get them on their journey for Savannah. The entire Huttc> family here have gone to Chi: quepin to spend some re<t under the paternal roof. One farmer near here has demonstrated that his cats eat mo:e than the rats destroy and that it is economy in him to kill or sell them. Our Saxon ancestors did not know the word cat at a i. but named it "The Custos "Horrei'', or custodian of the barn, and was deemed of such importance that for one to kill aco hei's cat was a sevcie oftVnce and had to be paid in grain, for it was that it was considered to guard. The punishment' for call killing was to awinor nr? l?v t.hfi tin end ol its tail. " *"o -f "J r - - . and jjst allow the nose to tip a level floor in the master's barn and the killer had to pore on shelled grain till it's tail was entirely hidden from sight. In case of a very large cat it would take several bushtls to rise in the shape of a potato stack till the entire cat and tail were hidden. Mrs Spectator says she has two cats that ^re worth more than that and that two of them she will sell for less if there is any demand for them. ? 1 l Iv:oI i^rooKer 01 uraugeuurg v^uilegiate Iastitute and Mrs. Minnie Simpson and Ethel Brooker are spending the boildays with. the family in Swansea.
