Fishing Party on Sweetwater.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
After several days preparation to
make a start for a couple of days
hunting and piscatorial diversion at
Taylor's old pond, on Sweetwater
creek, the following sportsmen left
for that resort last Thursday, well
provided with commissary stores aDd

tion as is ill variably effieatious against
the fatality of poisonous snake bites:
Sim Miller and sons, Scott Hook, Lee
Hook, Press Corley and son, Jacob
Roof and son, John Hite and sons,
Dave Mathias and son, Will Bickley,
Charles Thomson, Wade Roof and
brother and your humble scribe. By
unanimous vote the first named gentleman
was elected Captain, and the
last named as reporter for the press,
being sworn on "The Great Horn
Spoon" to tell the truth and nothing
but the truth in narrating the events
and incidents of the occasion.
Fully appreciating the honor conferred
by his commission, signed by
every present member of tho Lexington
County Piscatorial and Nimrodian
Society, and duly attested by
acting secretary, Press Corley, the
Captain exhausted all his varied resources
in his efforts to make the occasion
delightful, jolly and memorable
to each and every member of his
command. The hearty and unanimous
vote of thanks extended him by
it, as it was temporarily mustered
out of service, waB the best evidence
of his complete success. Recognizing
the great responsibility and impressibility
of his oath on the "Great
Horn Spoon," your reporter feels that
this imposition of strict varacity renders
this account somewhat prozj:
not so inten s ing as it could have
been made had he been permitted
the latitude to slip in a few fisherman's
lies: Hence this explanation
renders it unnecessary to make further
apology to your lenient readers.
Knowing what a diligent firsheman
and sportsman you are, Mr. Editor,
I feel assured that your responsive
heart would have bounded with exhiliration
snd joy had you been a
spectator of the bold rushes of big
jack, the timid and cautious pull of
the huge trout, the nibble of the
smaller fry, and the shouts of exultation
that now and then r&Dg out from
first one and then another of the

with specially fine specimens of the
scaly beauties. The two days' catch
was very bountiful, and your salivary
glands would have overflown bad you
been in such proximity to the frying
pan as would have awakened your
olfactory sense. The daily feasts
were grander and more relished than
t.hnfifl nf nrineffl. or millionaires, and
eaten with more zest and digested
with greater celerity than in the
ordinary conditions and surroundings
of life. Mr, Editor, we would
certainly have had several barrete of
fish to bring home with u?, if we
could have kept Dave Mathias from
everlastingly blowing about his
wonderful crops, of every description,
raised by him in ihe last few years,
by using Cromer's Magnum Bonum
Triple Ammoniated Boxalic Acid
Compound fertilizer. However, just
before breaking camp, he jerked out
a jack so big that I omit mentioning
its weight, for fear that due respect
for my oath of varacity may be suspected.
You may form someconcep

tion, However, or us ponderosity wueu
informed that in his effort to pull
him out Dave got a "crick" in his
back, and that set him to thinking
of something else than crops and
fertilizers. He has preserved the
jackrs jaws, with the intention of having
it articulated with copper wires,
a spiral bedspriDg inserted between
them in their front end, covering it
with the jack's skin after it is tanned,
and converting the invention into a
saddle tree, making the skirts out of
one of the trout skins he caught, and
the stirrup leathers out of eel skins
that he ensnared. He intends applying
for a patent, claiming that it
will ride easier than a joggling board,
aDd prove superior in every way to
either the Texan, Mexican, or army
saddle. Prices will be announced to
the public as soon as he revisits
Taylor's old pond and secures more
big jack jaws and trout and eeUkins,
7hen wholesale manufacturing will
begin at Mathias & Son's Tripple Vibrating
Saddle Factory. S9nd in
your orders at once before the crowd
erets ahead of vou.
O v
When Dave had exhausted his vocabulary
of adjectives in praise of his
big jack and saddle invention, Press
Corley, who had, for quite awhile,
been quietly but suspiciously viewing
the wonderful fish, exclaimed: "Bovs,
that?s no jack, its an aligator." "No,
sir," said Lee Hook, "its a Bhark."
"Wrong again," said Charles Thomson,
"its a whale." My opinion is
that one of these conjectures is correct,
for Capt. Miller considered for
some little while the possibility of
converting its back teeth into those of
a circular saw; John Hite took a couple
home to use as bull tongue plow
mould?; Wade Roof captured one for
a riding spur; Will Bickley appropriated
Beveral of the front ones for
presentation to his sweetheart for hat
pins, and Scott Hook got the boys to
help him lift the largest one into the
wagon, Baying that he intended hollowing
it out and turning it into
either a bee-hive, or a rural free delivery
mail box.

the boys bad an exciting fox cha6e,
lasting over an hour before the brush
was captured, and a three hours run
after a catamount before he was
brought, down. The latter was
skinned and the skin is beiDg properly
prepared by the undersigned,
but the carcass was awarded to Dave,
a? the most popular entertainer in
J the command, and who will convert it
into a ton of the above mentioned
celebrated fertilizer. You readily
appreciate the weight of the varmint
from the quality of fertilizer Dave
iutends making out of it.
When Capt. Miller orders his command
to assemble again, we trust
that the sporting Editor of the Dispatch
will be found with them.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Well, Easter is come and gone
and was enjoyed by all the little
folks.
The health of our community is

Communion services will be at Mt.
Pleasant the fourth Sunday in this

Our farmers are as busy as btes
planting their crops. The grain is
badly injured by the insects.
The cold snap made the Irish
potato tops look down with a sleepy
frown.
Eev. Justus failed to fill his appointments
last Sunday on the
account of being ill.
This writer had the pleasure of
being invited to a Easter cake walk,
but failed to get there.
The weather is very warm and
comfortable. Belle.

Notes from Hilton.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Oar community is blessed with
good health, only a few of our farmers
have the blues on account of
being so far behind with their work.
Yery little corn has been planted
and no cotton.
Some of our roads have been
worked, but on some sections it is
almost impossible, on account of the
scarcity of hands.
Mr. P. D. Bickley has added a fine
ox to his farm. His voice is heard
vibrating across the hills: '-Come on
cow and lets go to plow, sink her in
the rocks and see if we can make a
crop."
Look out, girls, some of you are
coiner fco have a ride. Two of our
