To the Editor of the Dispatch: The long continued rains have delayed farming operations till the, ; outlook is a serious problem. The azrount of guano bought is appall ing. I heard one dealer here say today that he had sold over one thousand tons and there are at least four more dealers in town, two of whom sold probably as much as the nr>a of of or? "Rnf v?rv litfclft of it h&8 been distributed yet, which probably is better as the constant rains of late | would have leached it considerably. Business is good around town and new stores are constantly being opened. A Northern "Tourist Hotel" is the latest thing. A number of gentlemen from New England and New York, with some local capitalist, have completed arrangements to open up one of the finest hostleries in the South. They have bought the Bight and adjacent grounds for eight thousand five hundred dollars. The point selected is about equal distant from Batesburg and Leesville. It is, perhaps, not known generally that these two flourishing villages are within two miles of each other, so it will be seen that the development of this section by this infusion of Northern capital and enterprise is an exceedingly fortunate event. Beth towns seem to be fully alive to the importance of the undertaking and have given the investors all encouragement possible. A committee from our town, appointed by a public meeting of the citizens, aDd headed by Hon. John Bell Towill and composed of such men as Dr. W. H. Timmerman, L. D. Cullum, J. Wm. Mitchell and Isaac Edwards will lend their efforts to the furtherance of the object and act as an advisory body in any contingency. The community is much stirred up and if a gold mine had been suddenly opened ia our midst not much greater excitement would be experienced. The blind tigers in our town have been "perniciously active" of late, but two State Constables have pounced in on then* recently and surprised them in their fancied security. A quantity of booze has been seized and Beveral cases for next term of court will be sent in by the officers. Occasional. March 28, 1903. Dots from Soiling Springs.

Although this was her first year she has so conducted herself as to give satisfaction to all. The entertainment was certainly fine. Four prizes were awarded to the spelling classes and the winners are: Miss Effie Taylor, Miss Nettie BalientoD, Master Oscar Clark and Esther Koon. \ Mr. W. W.

These V meetings are a continuance of the policy adopted last year of trying to arouse an interest among the farmers ifa stock raising, and general diversified farming. To this end, a number of meetings were held last year, and were largely attended, and highly commenced. The Departmental officials, interested in this special work were much pleased with the results, and report to me, an encouraging interest m toe growing of forage aDd hay crops, the requisites to successful stock raising. Tnese reports, and number of request for special forage crop seed, encouraged me to continue the agitation in hope ultimately of bringing about practical results for the farmers in the District. The meeting at Lexington will be held on tbe 13th. of April, from 12 to 2 o'clock, in the court house.

Mrs. Nancy Corley died in peace cvith God and with all mankind at her residence last Friday and wa3 buried in the family burying ground, near the old homestead, Saturday morning, where her sacred remains now ttalmly repose beside those of her husband and other relatives. "Aunt Nancy," as she was lovingly and reverentially called by the entire 3ommunity, was the oldest inhabitant in this part of the county, having been born in the latter part of tfcs year 1805, and consequently had she lived until her next birthday she would have been 98 years old. She was the widow of Mr Samuel Corley, who preceded her to the grave in 1862, and to whose memory she remained faithful until death claimed her for a bride. She was connected by blood and marriage by some or the oldst, the largest and most influential families of the county. There survives her four sons and four daughters?two children having enttred the valley and the ahadow of death long years before her. She was faithful in the discharge of all the obligations of life; was cheerful and uncomplaining in whatever condition in life circnmataDces placed her. She was a devout LJhnstian ana lived up to the ordinances of the Lutheran church of which she was a member, and died in the full assurance of a glorious reserrection and a more perfect life in the land of never ending day. Her funeral service were conducted by the Rev. J. G. Graichen, who was assisted in the solemn and impressive service by the Rsv. W, D. Quick, in the presence of a very large congregation of sorrowing relatives, friends and acquaintances. The deep eym-. pathy of the entire community goes out to the stricken family.
