HAEMAN, Editor and Publisher. Wednesday, March 18,1903. Persons sending obituary notices ts\* T->nKli/^ation mnflt, ! m bUIO OUIk/O 1V1 J^uuiivunvu V.V. remember that a charge of oDe-half a ceDt is made for every word over 100. Io seeding the notice, count tbe words snd enclose the amount with the notice to insure publication. This rule applies to tributes of resppet. roemomms, etc The Njwb^rry Observer has fallen into line and sees no reason why an obituary written by a friend of a deceased person should not be paid for, to insure publication, the same 88 any other legitimate advertising matter. Ic this respect . ^ _ oor contemporary n?s arrived an a wise conclusion. There ia just as much reason to ask a merchant for a dollar's worth of granulated sugar free, gratis for nothiDg on tbe strength of having at one time or another purchased a nick!e gingercake from him as it to expect a publisher to extol the virtues of a dead person to the amount of two or three dollars free because the said person was once a subscriber. Business is one thing and friendship is . another and when the two conflicts friendship must be pushed aside or - otherwise tbe meal barrel will often go empty. _________ The flood situation in the Missis sippi river and its tributaries, is indeed alarming. Ttie people having homes adjacent to the rivers have been living in*a state of intense excitement and constant dread for days past. At one time it was thought that the levees, which projects the tow lying country from the raging waters in time9 of floods, would yield to the great pressure they were sustaining and the whole country inundated, leaving luin and devastation in the wake of the unbridled waters. Bat happily this danger was averted by the subsiding of the waters together with the inceeant |b?a?V e\t fVin/nn]a TVid oilnotinn l/i VUO A WV 0?VUW??VW still remains grave, however. Periodically for several years past efforts are made by certain cities to move the Presbyterian Theological Seminary from Columbia, where it is now located and will probably re maio until Gabriel toots his horn, to a more progressive and enterprising city. Those who are urgiDg the change have apparently overlooked * the fact that that city is not now, nor will it be in the near future, in existence. Our local mail service has not im ' proved mcch, The morning papers still continue to arrive in the evening of the day of publication and the ff.ening papers the morning after. Were it not for our long distance telephone service the cutside world might burn up and we know nothing about it until tte tire works was over. % The Secretary of State has issued a commission to the Georgetown Advocate Publishing Co. This makes the third paper to be published in that town, the Times and the Outlook being in existence. Great, indeed, must be the fait ^ of the projectors of j the new enterprise, or they have learned the art o: living without eating __ i There should be a correct map of I Lexington county. We don't believe that there is one in existence, if there is we do not know where to find it. One should be in evsry home, school house and public office in the county.

Thus far March has been calm and | x an ideal springlike month. Our farmers are very bu3y now J turning the soil and preparing for ^ the planting season. Wheat and oats, are looking fine. J Our noble hearted Mr. George W g Pound has the finest wheat we have , J seen this season. Ask friend George 8 how he prepared his land and I think, if the grain is not injured, he will be ^ abundantly repaid for hie trouble. ^ His example is worthy of imitating. Our community was shocked eome time ago on hearing of the accident y which happened to the eldest daugh- ^ ter of Mr J. P. Sturkie. Her clothing caught fire and before the flames could be extinguished she was fear- j rn j L J ei,f ItJliJ taUU IMlttUJ uuiucu. uuc ouifered agonizingly for about fifteen days when her spirit took its everlasting flight. Maggie was a dutiful and obedient daughter. Her remains were laid to rest in the cemetery at Gaston last Thursday. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. A. L. Rodgers. A large congregation had assembled to pay this last sad tribute of respect to our young daughter and 6ister. May God bless this dispensation of his Providence to the good of all. Our hearts go out in deep sympathy to the bereaved family. The R F. D. route from Gaston, 8 goes into c fleet the first of April Mr. B. E Craft, carrier. Get your g boxes now, boys; put them up and receive your mail daily. Billj'a heart again beata with glee after the return of Mrp. Felix from * visting relatives and friends in the * Wagener neighborhood. Well, Mr. Editor, I think you had better stop chasing delinquents for awhile; brush up your fishing tackle, ^ and chase other "suckers." I think ^ you will make a better success ah the * business. Miss Minnie Zorn and mother from Greenvi le, have been visiting in ( Gaston for some time. While here 1 they stopped at the home of Mr. G C A. Goodwin. We think ere loDg they will pass this way again. T? /-II 1 ^1^1-^1., xruur vuaricob-SLL wujyivwi y uauuuv, j She can'c digest the tough black "Crum,'' It has no sweetening short or long.

March 16, 1903. ? Tts Keraey Branch School. To the Editor of the Dispatch: The closing exercises of the Kemey , Branch School were held on the 7th < g instant in the presence of a small but appreciative audience. The trustees of the school are Mr. Thomas B. Barr, Mr. James F. Hallman and Rev. Evan Hall, three of Lexington's worthy sons. Miss Daisy M. Ed- ward was employed to teach the t term which has just closed. During J the term the trustees provided some new desks which contributed not j only to the comfort but to the convenience of teacher and pupils. A j nice stage had been built on the | front of the school house, embowed with cedar and vines in front tf yhich seat* wore arrange 1 lor the >atrons and friends of the school. )n one corner of the stage Mr. Tyre lohns of Leesvilie, was accorded pace with hie mammoth grapbapbon. Che clouds were lowerii g but the am did not interfere with the exircises, which began by a picture of he school by Mr. H. Randall. Then ve bad recitations and dialogues by he pupils and music by Mr. Johns or near two houre, and nobody leemed to think the hours slow. The jupils, one and all, did well. The nanner in which they acquitted hemselves showed that teacher and icbolars had striven for a successful rear's work. A recess was given for ? ? 11 j J linner WUlcn was wen prepareu auu jountiful. At dinner, short im jromptu speeches were made by Rev. 5. Hall and Joab Edwards. R-v. Hall throwing emphasis on the imjorfcance of training how to express deas, and Rev. Edwards on tbe need md qualification of leader's thoughts, tfr. Johns gave a touching history of i little child tryiDg to send a tele)hone message to its mother in leaven, and coupled it with an ex jortation to think of loved odcs goDe. Che echo of the child's desire to peak to its dead mother 88 rendered )y the graphapbone, softened my leart. A very amusing experience >f Mtb. Scruggins with a refractory sow was recited by the teacher, Miss ? iwards. Mr. Chriatie Bar?, one of he students, in weil chosen words, nade the valedictory. The Kercey 3raDch school is composed of a lot of )right minded boys and girls. By >roper training of art, science, literaure, agriculture, statesmanship, heologv and music may be deveiopsd. After the valedictory some of be young men and young ladies of he community j lined the pupils in a sake walk.

But, thanks to your Peruna, I am now completely cured, and can cat anything I want to without any of the distressing symptoms. 1 can now enjoy my meals as I used to do, and it is all due to Dr. Hartman and his wonderful medicine, Peruna.
