To the Editor of the Dispatch: The people in this community are enjoying good health. We are having some very disag? e > able weather for the past week or two. It has been rather cool for the time of year, especially on cotton. But some of the old prophets 6ay there is going to be a very hot summer. We are sorry to hear that Mr. John Daily is very sick with a case of mumphs. There has been a Sunday school organized at Summerville of which Mr. Adam Coants has been elected superintendent and will take an in- ' teresting part in the school. Many children, young ladies and gentlemen are expected to j >in. YouDg folks cannot devote too much time to this good work. We are sorry to hear of the sad death of Mr. S. T. Swygert, of Peak. He devoted most of his life as a merchant at this place and was greatly beloved by one and all. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. S C. Ballentine and his remains were laid to rest in the cemetery May 10 Mr. T. W. Summer i9 haviDer a large duelling house buiit. Mr. Pink ( Summer is doing the carpenter work. 1 Mr. J.

You cannot hear his shrill hollows, fox hunting any more in the Boyd hills. Mr. Bud Summer one of our best farmers has promising crops and is busy combating with General Green. A good many of our older boys of gray took in the reunion at Columbia last week and report of having a fine time. Guess this put them in remembrance of the times of the 60's.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: We have not been able to decide to what season of year the weather of j the past month's duration belongs, j Evidently the little cucklebur, which is always so sensitive of the approach of frost in autumn that it never gets caught before maturity, is also at a loss to know what seasou of year it is. Capt. Smith, our etc.ion foreman here, brought in a little stalk last Saturday, of this year's growth, with four well matured burs on it. This is a peculiarity unknown to our oldest men. We have learned that the boiler at the mill of Rev. S. J. Riddle at Ballectine, exploded la9t Friday and killed Ab Wingard, an old colored man, and did other damage. Mrs. Rev. J. L. Ray and Miss Tillie Nunamaker went to Chapin Saturday to attend Quarterly Conference. Mr. Fred Vanssnt, telegraph operator and agent at Goldville on this line, spent Saturday at home.

Hatfield and sons and their families have moved here from Sumter. They are building the brick waterways on the Columbia. Newberry and Laurens railroad. Mr. J. A. H. Geiger and family also have moved into town. Mrs. Annie Leitner is quite-sick at her home near here. Nearly all of our people attended the reunion, and the old soldiers say i that Columbia took care of them excellently well. They had plenty to j eat and plenty to drink and all the ' liberties they wanted. E. May 18, 1903 ^ , frnm Lnvyer Fork.

The old vefs have gone home, j Many of them are old and feeble and I will never attend another reunion unless it be one over the river. The general opinion is that the reunion was a grand success and the soldiers extend to the citizens of Columbia thanks for the kindness and courtesy extended them, i The health of this community is pretty good?no sickness reported. List Sunday Henry Richardson colored, who has been blind for thirteen years, fell from the window | of his house and broke his neck. He 1 was buried on Monday and had the f largest funeral cortege known for ; many years. Henry lived on Mr. J R. B. Barr's plantation. Crops are beginning to show up. Bud worms are still injuring the corn, mostly on bottom lands. Coti ton is being chopped and put to a ? w _ _ stand. I saw some of the tobacco I ' which has been planted and it is looking fine. It won't be long before j the mowers will be started and hay | ! gathering will be the order of the j day. I j Now, Mr. E iitor, to you and your j staff, I most respectfully beg leave i to thaDk you for your kindness in i suppressing the publication of a portion of my private letter sent you by ^ mistake and beg leave to say that I expect to visit your city before long and will call on you, aod if, and if, any of you will "smile'' it will be at my expense.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: Farm work is backward and many farmers had to plaDt a lot of tbi-ir cotton the second time, and the corn is very sorry.
