To the Editor of the Dispatch: Fire has been very comfortable for the past few days. March behaved himself very peaceable and gentlemanly, but fickle April has put in some squally days. Thus far the fruit crop is safe. Gardening has been somewhat retarded on account of the cool weather. The small grain crop is damaged considerably by the pesty "louse."' Io places a half crop is estimated. The farmers are verv busv now adays. Much com has been planted. Some is up and growing nicely. A great deal of fertilizers are being bought, but not all will be used under cotton. Mrs. J. F. Sturkie is very ill at her home. We hope she may recover again soon under the treatment of Dr. John R Langford. The R. F. D. route from Gaston is no longer a visionary project, but a reality. It was put into operation on the first of the month and while every man can't have this mail delivered at his gate, yet it gives a goodly number mail facilities not had before. We think ifc a decided improvement on the old system. It is not what it might be and what we would like for it to be. The school at Athens will close May the first with a picnic. Several prominent speakers have been invited and signified their intentions to be present. Come, and bring a full basket and let's have a good time. Some candidates are budding and and will bloom forth in 1901 to Bhed their fragrance for a short season [?) and then die, politically, for the next two or four years at least. Mrs. I tvid Wise has a novelty in shape of a squash. It measures four feet and four inches from tip to tip. She informs the writer that 3 ou may cut from tbe blossom end and eat while it grows on. Talk about going west when a poor man can raise such eatables here at home! It is all nonsensical, tomfoolery. Billy has succeeded in getting some of the seed to plant and should the yield be sufficient to admit, Mr. Editor, Til give you one to "sound the trumpet" on your rounds after the mighty dollar. They are called "trumpet squashes."?[Why, Billy, four feet wouldn't sound worth a cent. It PAPP COMPANY, EERY BROTHERS, COLUMBIA, S.

Dispatch.] The Felix family is cheeful and ' gay. Mrs. Felix and little Miss Felix experienced quite a novelty of late. The supply of home-made syrup had been exhausted and I went to a good neighbor's where I procured some good old home-made sugar cane syrup. I had 'em in a five gallon keg and of course on transferring it from the barrel to the keg, caused it to commence to fume and bubble. I had to drive the bung in tight to prevent an explosion so to Bpeak. I reached home 0. K , and carried my syrup to the kitchen steps, and of course, out came MrsFelix and the little Miss, wanting some drawn. I explained to tbem< how it was behaving inside and to be careful while I drew the bung to put in the faucet. They were in front of the bunghole somewhat. I drew the bung very carefully when lo and behold, there was such an outburst, till I thought an explosion had occurred sure enough. When the emoak had cleared away, so to speak, Mrs. Felix was standing near and the little one was nowhere to be found; but when finally discovered, she was wiping and eating syrup at a lively rate. Well, Mr. Editor, you just ought to have seen them. Their dresses and faces and hair, all bedaubbed and bespattered and dripping with syrup. They had a vessel to catch the syrup and sure enough they did "catch it." We all had a hearty laugh over it when we discovered no damage had been done, save the lost of some of the syrup, and now we "sop" and enjoy it just the same. The Union meeting at Antioch was well attended and the discussions splendid. W. B. Fallaw was re-elected Moderator, S. F. Derrick, Clerk and J. G. Fallaw, Treasurer. The next meeting will be held with the New Hope church, in May. The program of which will appear in due time. Several mules and horses - in our neighborhood have died of late. Mr. W. A. Derrick lost a mule, Mr. J. V. Hutto a horse and Mr. A. W. Martin a horse. Mr. Editor, can't you come down to our May picnic and grace the occasion with your handsome appearance and dignified bearing ? With success to the Dispatch force and its many readers, I am April 6, 1903. Billy Felix. Shake Into Your Shoes Allen's Foot-Ease. It rests the feet.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: Like our neighbors we are suffering from the wet weather and the I farming interest is sadly in the back j ground. Sunday 29th of March was certainly a rainy day, and no work could be done until the latter part of the wetk, and then but very little, as the mo3t of our lands are. level, with clay soil, and retains the water for a longtime. Some of our farmers have planted corn and a few have planted it ! 1 i iL 1 tl t notmng?out meo we kqow mat i "Man proposes and God disposes," so we put our trust in Him anil do the best that we can. There was a pound party at Mr. P. E. Huffman's residence on the evening of 1st of April. There were about lifty of the youDg and aged gathered together and quite an enjoyable time was had. Several youDg ladies and gentlemen came over from Columbia. Music was dispensed by Mr. W. W. Spence aDd Mr. Jacob Crim, and the young people were soon in the mazes of the terpsichorean art. Several widowers were present and one took an active part in the mazy dance. Iu fact the widowers reminded me of commas in a complex sentence, they were here, there and everywhere. The young ladies were very neatly and tastefully dressed and just as pretty as could be. The farmer boys were out in their best style and certainly are a fine looking set of young men, and practice the principle "that he who by the plow would thrive, must hold the line and drive." The young men from Columbia were clerks and will some day make their mark, we hope, as merchants. The pounds brought by the guest, were handed over to Mrs. P. E. Huffman and Miss Ella Huffman and the display made after the things were arranged, was cerfciinly grand and proved that Mrs. Huffman and Miss Ella are adepts in the art of decorating and dressing a table. In connection with the pound party there was a cake walk. The cake was won by Mr. Newt Lorick in commaryrt TzrifVt \Tico finaoia Wiicnn TVfinfi I JJOklAJ niVU iU.tOO V<UWW*V V V (AWVMt AM..WW Gussie is a clerk in Mr. Moore's dry goods emporium in Columbia, and is quite a handsome and talented young lady. When the cake was cut the young people were anxious to get a ring that had been placed in the cake. Mr. Willie Huffman was the lucky finder. There is some improvement beiDg made at the State farm. Sheds are being built, and many of the buildings are newly white washed and everything looks as bright and clean as a new pin. Serg't. S. A. Miller and his corps of guards, certainly practices the rule, fc,a place for everything and everything in its place." L xnere are ai preseuL i?ci?c auuu i and thirty-five boy prisoners. They ' were neat and clean in appearance. The small grain crop on this place is looking fine but in a general way the small grain is looking bad and is affected with rust. Miss Mamie Lsitzsey, styled by one of our widowers, "the dark eyed beauty", returned home yesterday from a visit to friends in the "Tar Heel State.'' Mrs. E.izi M. Nunamaker and her ) son, Mr. B. H. Nunamaker, with Miss Buhla Hill and Eitelle Nunamaker, have gone on a visit to Sandy Run. Miss Marie Lorick, who has been visting her sister, Mrs. P. E. Huff man, returned home yesterday. Mr. A. S. Nunamaker, we learn, has been successful in obtaining a patent for his machine for shrinking tires, &c, applied for some time ago. The machine is highly spoken of and we truly hope it will prove a success. April 6, 1903. H. Cures Blood Poison, Cancer, Ulcers, Eczema, Carbuncles, Etc. Medicine Free.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: The health of this community is very good at this writing with the exception of some of the little ones. They have the whooping cough and are having a bad time. Well, Easter is rapidly rolling up. Soon it will be here and the girls and boys will prepare to tight with their pretty eggs. The wind of March was not much but April brought the wind with her like a roaring lion and this morning there is a great change in the weather from cool to colder. The grain louse is doing great damage to tu . small grain of this locality and some of the farmers are replanting the land with other grain. Mr. C.
