Les. Co. Teachers' Association, j
The Lexington County Teachers'
Association held its first meeting in
the present scholastic year, Saturday
November 29, 1902, in the Institute
building.
The association was called to order
by Mr. T. W, Dreher. The number
of teachers present beiDg smail the
programme for the day was taken up.

assigned him. Then came the election
of officers, T. W Dreher, Pres.;
Vice Pres. J. E. R. Kyzer; Sec.,
Miss Mary WiDgard; Executive Committee,
0 D Seay, Miss Ellen Hen
drix, R. E. Shealy, J. F. Kyzer and
'J. H Frick.
It was decided that the Institute
building shall be the place of meeting,
and that our next meeting be on
Saturday the 20th of December, 1902
We earnestly hope the teachers of
our county will take a deep interest
in these meetings, as they are very
V ? pleasant
and instructive. Progress
is the watchword of today, and how
are we to progress without potting
much time and effort in our vocation.
Again, fellow teachers, we earnestly
solict your presence at our next
meeting. The following is the programme
for the next meeting:
Prizes and Howards, by Miss Nina >
Henry.
Incentives to Study, Miss Mary
Wingard.

Schools, Mr. R. E. Shealy.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
There is an old saying that "no
news is good news." We trust none
can say this in regard to these few
dots, although we are in an obscure
corner of Lexington county and no
one would be accused of a limited
knowledge of geography should they
confess their ignorance of such a
place, yet we actually do exiet and
are justly proud of our community,
and think it nothing but right that
we should let our existence be known

Commendable.
With a commendable spirit cf
enterprise, our Town Council has
decided to undertake an important
work, and one that if completed, will
be of incalculable benefit to the town.
The work in hand is nothing lees
than making a good road way along
Main street, by a mixture of clay
with sand. Tiie work has 'already
began and will be pushed as rapidly
as the weather will permit. This
work is not only important to the
town but is of interest to the whole
county a3 it is doubtless the beginning
of a systematic plan to permanently
improve the roads of the
county, but of this we will probably
have more to say at another time.
