To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Friday night, May the 2nd, we
witnessed the closing exercises of
one of the most prosperous terms of
school that has ever been taught at
Irmo, under the instruction of that
highly accomplished teacher, Miss
Mamie E. Crooks. Rev. J. L. Ray
assisted in conducting the exercises.
Some of the pupils showed a considerable
degree of superiority over
their classmates, but all did so welj
that we shall make special mention
of none.
The natural, easy manner in which
they acquitted themselves showed
the careful, skillful training they
have received and bespeaks for their
teacher the highest praises. County
Superintendent, John S. Derrick, was
present and made a short, but very
logical address. He knows our
teacher to be one of the mo3t able in
this county and expressed a desire
that we retain her.
The Southern Bell Telephone and
Telegraph Company is now constructing
its lines through the streets of
Irmo and we hope soon to be placed
in communication with points of
interest.
Farm work is going on with a rush
now and everything looks prosperous.
Mrs. Bessie Bouknight, of Newberry,
has been on a visit to her
parents at Irmo.
We leave for the Exposition tomor

The Best Prescriptien for Malaria
Chills, and Fever is a bottle of
Grove's Tasteless Chill Tonic. It is
simply iron and quinine in a tasteless
form. No cure, no pay. Price 50c.
An estimator of more or less ability
says there are 70,000,000 prairie
dogs in the State of Kansas, and that
they are multiplying at the rate of
millions a year. Various devices
have been tried in the hope of eradicating
the little animals, but they
grinningly bob up from below and
an nn increasing. Since the meat
w o
trust put up the price of beef, some
Kansans have discovered that the
prairie dog is not bad eating and
have quit patronizing the butcher
shops.
Send us your due3.
la Memory of Mrs. Mary
Osnsr.
Ia the midst of life we are in
death, says some one and how true
this sentiment.
Oq April 15th last, our community
was greatly shocked by the sad and
unexpected death of Mrs. Mary M.
Oxner, nee Corley. Thus another
loving mother, faithful wife, a good
neighbor and an excellent school
teacher has gone to receive her reward.
Her life, though brief, is
W U Itli J Ui CUiUlCltlUUf uuuv^uu
and sincere, kind and generous: to
know her was to admire her. She
was a beautiful daughter, a loving
sister and always a trusty friend.
Never was she heard to speak injuriously
of any one. The blow comes
heaviest on her immediate family, of
a husband, parents, brothers and
sisters.
This makes the second time the
students of Red Star have been
nnde sad by the death of their noble
teachers, who with patience tried to
instruct and prepare them for life, j
She taught a flourishing school at j
Red Star in the year of 1900 and
was loved by all of her students.
She always met her scholars with a
loving smile and welcoming words.
We, her students of Red Star, can
look back to the year 1900 and recall
the pleasure that we enjoyed with
our deceased teacher; that being her
first years, work in our community,
she worked her way onward in life
and gained many friends. She was
teaching a flourishing school at the
Star a few months previous to her
death. We can think of our school
days with her and it brings pleasure
to cur minds, but it brings sadness
to our hearts to think of April 15tb,
1902, when her students took their
last sad farewell look at their former
teacher lying in her casket cold in
death. Her presence will be greatly
missed by her many friends and scholars
and we bow submissively to Him
who sayetb, my grace is sufficient for
thee. We trust that as He has seen
fit to cause us sadness, He will, by
His divine love and mercy, brighten
our pathway in days to come, believeing
that our loss is her eternal gain.
We look confidently to the day
when we will be reunited together in
"That land of pare delight,
Where saints immortal reign,
Infinite day excludes the night
And pleasure banish pain,"
"Dearest sister, thou hast left us,
And thy los3 we deeply feel,
Bat 'tis God who hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal."
The funerai service was conducted
by K9V. W. H. Koof in the presence
of a very large congregation of sorrowing
relatives and friends, and the
remains quietly laid to rest in the
family burying ground to await the
morning of the great resurrection.
The large congregation and the beautiful
flowers so emblematic of her
life gave evidence of the warm place
she held in so many hearts. The
bereaved families have our greatest
sympathy in this, their bereavement.
Oh! River of death,
!?o darksome and still,
We know there's a track across
Thy wide wave and a boat with a seat
That someone must fill.
Be ye, king or pauper,
Freeman or slave,
Yet which of them recks in
His puny pride of the lite
That waits on the other side.
Shall we meet the old friends,
We knew were true in the sunshiny
Days of long ago.
Shall we see the loved one
Our young hearts knew
And called her dear teacher.
We loved her so shall life's.
Loved partner who has gone before.
Reach welcoming arms from the
Other shore science is silent when
We make this great human fancy
Ends with the street of gold.
"Rnfc faith qitc all thincrs
The Lord mav think best
Shall welcome His children
Into the fold, then hold fast,
Thy faith, oh heart, and be wise,
All you've lost will be found.
In paradise hearts cannot conceive
And eye hath not seen what tbe
Master hath prepared for his own.

visited the Exposition to do so dur- j
iag its closing month, and those who
hive visited it, to again take advantage
ef the low rate offered, as many
will undoubtedly do.
There has been a great deal said
through the columns of the papers
in regard to the Expasition and its
maDy attractive features. There is
one however that has been almost
entirely ignore or overlooked by our
correspondents, and probably from
the fact that its location is such as
not to attract general attention,
Reference is made to the Grass Garden
of the U. S. Agricultural Department,
which consist offour acres
-* -J J In ! M CI f QQof nf

the encampment of the Marine Corps.
Every farmer who visits the Exposition,
should visit this Garden.
Here are to be found growing over
fifty different specimens of forage
crop3 suitable for our Southern suns,
as well as wheat, rye, and barley of
many kinds. The seeds of the different
forage crops referred to have
been gathered from Egypt, Africa,
China, Ireland, Scotland, England^
Australia, and many other countries.
The representative pf the Agricultural
Department in charge of the
Garden is a practical farmer, and
can give the visitor full information
regarding each and everv species of
the crop, and it can be s. to every
farmer, if he can spare time to come
down, even if he spends only one day
at the Exposition, let him carefully
study these forage crops, get a list
of such one he wants to use, and he
will be ten times repaid for the expense
of the trip, and :for the time
he may think he is losing from his
farm.
