To the Editor of the Dispatch: Thanksgiving day is drawing near, and many a gobbler is looking through tb* bars and gobbling over a bountiful supply of nutricious food, unaware of the sumptuous dinner that he is soon to make. The weather, like some people, seems to be slways on the extremes tnn rntf. nr fr>n drr. OllT CI VUC& II VM V* , - _ farmers are having quite a dry time for sowing grain, but most of them j are goiDg ahead with it. The short crop and low price of cotton, two fairs, three shows and several excursions during the fali are enough to clean up any country. How our people can patronize all of theee societies and pleasures of the anil mppfc their necessarv ex pensee, under the strecgencies of the times, is a mystery that we cannot fully explain. I don't profess to know, but some- j times I think that our legislature meets too often and appropriates'too ; much money to various purposes, and shows should not be allowed in our State cftener than every three or five years. It might do very well to * * 1 ? r it I ! have fairs every year, Due i ididk these should be perfectly clean. So j many side shows and faker's stands j should be eliminated and these societies conducted on a higher plane. It seems to me that some improvements along this line would contribute something toward bettering the condition of our people. Evidently, short crops are not wholly responsible for present conditions, for the requirements are a little too heavy under the pressure. We are richly blessed this year with a fine school under the manage 1 e ? nr 17 T> menc 01 miss mamie ?u. uluubl*, bb principal. aDd M"i?s Delia Wright, as assistant. It is the intention of our trustees, with the co-operation of our worthy teachers, to enlarge our school buildiDg and raise our school to a higher plane than ever before. We get a nice little appropriation, we have plenty of children and we need only the hearty co-operation of our patrons to make it a success. Sunday morning, the 17th instant, Mr. Jesse Foulk, of the Selma neighborhood, and Miss Cora Bouknight, of our town, were joined together by that law that do man has the right to "put asunder," and two more hearts now beat as one. . Mr. C. P. Robinson has moved his lumber business and our loss is Chapin's gain. Mr. Hampton A Lorick has rented Mr. Robinson's premises and is now one of our townsmen, for the purpose of getting the benefit of our school and with a . view to engaging in business. That skillful painter, Mr. G. W. Williams, of Chapin, has just finished painting the home of Mrs. Annie Leitner, and we understand, is soon to do some work in our town. Messrs. Ollie and Ed.

H. November 18;b, 1901. Cold Comfort from Doctors. Docters say neuralgia is not dangerous. This is poor consolation to a sufferer w ho fee's as if his face were pierced with hot needles and torn with a thousand pairs of pincers. A word of advice to him, stay indoors and use Perry Davis' Painkiller. The blessed freedom from pain which follows this treatment cannot be told. There is but one Painkiller, Perry Davis'.
