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. Roland Busby has purchased
a fine guitar. Look out girls, 1
Roland will furnish some sweet ,
music.
Tbe way some of our young folks ,
are cutting up there are still more
wedding bells to ring and more cake
almost in sight.
What has become of Capt. Haltiwanger
? 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.
Well, Mr. Editor, guess we all had
better go with Mr. Johny Green
Hiller fishing Ascension day and
sleep on his sapsucker feather bed.

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.
Mr. and Miss Warner of Prosperity,
are vistiog relatives at Irmo.
" 1- Phonin
iur jo raun ju>ui \^ua^*u)
visited Mr. E. F. Metz, Sunday.
Irmo is still increasing in population.
Mr. J. T. 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.

others gathered in crowds recount- '
ing to each other the scenes and in- 1
| cidents of the war. Great achieve- 1
ments accomplished, daring deeds of 1
valor, and hairbreadth escapes were
I the order of the day, and I assure '
you justice was done. You need not
doubt it. One man was asked after

why he did not make these things
; known and his reply was, "You see 1

I conspicuous.
! 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

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. Adieu, H. ?

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.
Mrs. Thomas Kaminer has been
down vietiDg her sods, Messrs Shelton
and John KamiDer, but had to
return home sooner than she expected,
on account of the serious illness
of her husband, Mr. Thos. Kaminer.
Hone he will soon be well apain.
The handsome widower, Mr. J.
Archie Wolfe, took in the reunion at
Columbia this week.?[And be saw
such an array of beautiful women
that he fell in love with them all and '
could not make a choice?Editor

Mr. J. A Kaigler spent one day at
the reunion shaking hands with his
old comrades, that h6 had not sfen
since they were mustered out in 1865
and all have grown to be old men.
Mr. J. Kinsler Davis and Mr. E. J.

i few days.

fine sermons which wtre enjoyed by
