See Sheriff sales of personal property. Remember, on Saturdays, you will find ice cream at the Bazaar. There will be an abundance of all varieties of frait. While there will be so end of plams. Mr. J. J. Schwartz and family spent Saturday and Sunday over at his old home. The small grain crop is almost ready to be cut. There will be a larger harvest than was expected. Mr. Irby George is getting his roller mill in repair to serve bis customers with the best dour ground. We return thanks to Mrs. Amanda Leaphart for a fine head of lettuce. It would fill a peck measure. Mr. Samuel ?. George has returned from a fljing trip to Greenville and Georgia. Peaches are ripe. We had our first mess this day. Tbfy wciec* it irrc. i l 9 oar own growta. >v uu v?u utttc us : Mr. W. D. Hill, of Lower Fork, was in town Monday, looking as spruce as a young boy when calling on bis best girl. The children of the Sunday school at Red Bank, enjoyed a delightful outing last Saturday and were addressed by Hon. John Bell Towiil. Hon. A. F. Lever delivered an address before the graduating class of Lenoir College, at Hickory, N. C., last night. For fine candies in hslf and pound boxes, for your sweetheart or wife, call at the Bazaar. They are fresh and delicious. Mr. G. M. Sox killed a rattlesnake on the 13th, which was four feet long, nine and a half inches round and had eleven rattles rod a button. People are fond of telling what they would do if they had 81,000,000. It's safe to bet that nine men out of ten if they had $1,000,000 would do nothing. Jaggs?My wife had a good cry last night. Waggs?What about? Jaggs?When I reached home at midnight she asked me where I had been, and I told her. Rev. W. S. Henry delivered a special sermon before the J. O. U. A. M. at Red Bank, last Sunday. There ? V was a fine turnout and the order and and the public were much pleased with bis address. Don't forget that Wm. Piatt, Columbia, has in stock the latest weaves in the most fashionable dress patterns, the latest creations in millinery and all kinds of novelties in women's wear. Give him a call. We have been compelled to hold over several communications and ofcber matter on account of the Dispatch force being short on compositors, one of whom i3 attending the reunion in New Orleans. Dr. J. L Sbuler, one of the best farmers of the Fork, came over Saturday and sold his crop of cotton, getting over ten cents per pound for it. He is one of those farmers who raise their own supplies, which en ables bim to hold bis cotton until be can sell to advantage. Maj. H. A. Mee'ze, and many of his direct line of descendants joined in a family reuion last Sunday to celbrate bis 83rd birthday. The Major is enjoying good health and bis youthful appearance make many a gentle maiden's heart to palpitate a little faster than normal. The present high price of cotton will benefit but few planters. The large majority of them are caught short on the staple. We are indebted to Mrs. Thos. H. Caughman for our first mess of beets. They were fine and we greatly appreciate the kindness. Mr. J. Wesley Long, our reliable weather prophet, whom everybody consults in regard to future weather prognostications, has been down and tried Ed Mathias' fine spring water and has been so greatly benefited I that he can see the planets getting ready to send raio or sunshine. The following persons from this immediate vicinity have gone to New Orleans, to attend the reunion of the Confederate veterans: George W. Reeder, representing camp Steadman, Sam. J. Leapbart, Sing. H. Harman, Sam. P. Roof, Dr. J. E. Kaufmann, Capt L. W. Redd, and Edwin Dreher. ? ? a wara. Tq the Editor of the Dispatch: I noticed in your issue of March 3, an article signed "Rush", who seems to know something about pensions, and thinks there is something wrong. He says there are men who have made their property over to their children in order to get the pension, &c. He asks id this right? I answer No. And if this is the case, if "Rash" or any one else, will send the names of suon to the County Pension Houid, with evidence to satisfy the Hoard, cney will IttKe pleasure in luVeollgatlug all such cases. And, now, "Ruon':, it is your auty ana tne duty ui an who may know 01 such caseo, to report them to tne County Pension Hoaid wuu evidence in eacn case. tt. M Rool, Commissioner. May 16, 1303. SOME OLD THEATERS.'" Playhouse* That Flourished In Ancient Greece and Rome. You may wonder what there could be injurious to public morality in a theater made of stone. Consul P. Cornelius Scipio Xaseia knew, but history doesn't tell. The first attempt to build a stone theater in home was maue a short time before he was elevated to his office. It was sanctioned by the censors and was nearing completion when Scipio persuaded the senate to command it to be pulled down, advancing as his reason solicitude for public morality. The Romans did not possess a regular stone theater until a very late period. and, although dramatic representations were very popular in early times, it appears that a wooden stage was created when necessary and was afterward pulled down again, and the plays of Plautus and Terence were performed on such temporary scaffoldings. In the meanwhile many of the neighboring towns of Rome had their stone theaters, as the introduction of Greek customs and manners was less strongly opposed in them than in the city of Rome itself. Wooden theaters, adorned with the most profuse magnificence, were erected at Rome even ^niMnor tim lief- nerin:! nf the renublic. A magnificent wooden theater planned by M. ..Tlmilius Scaurus was built in his sedileship 58 B. C. Its scena consisted of three stories, and the lower of them was made of white marble, the middle one of glass and the upper one of gilt wood. The cavea contained 80.000 spectators. In 55 B. C. Cn. Poinpey built the first stone theater at Home, near the Campus Martius. It was of great beauty and is said to have been built after the model of that of Jlytileue. It contained 40,000 spectaC. Curio built in 50 B. C. two magnificent wooden theaters close by one another. which might be changed into one amphitheater. After the time of Pompey. however, other stone theaters were erected, as the theater of Marcellus. which was built by Augustus and called after his nephew Marcellus, and that of Balbus. whence Suetonius used the expression. "Per trina theatra."?Cincinnati Commercial. APHORISMS. Patient waiting is often the highest way of doing God's will.?Collier. Both man and woman kind belie their nature when they are not kind.?Bailey. Duty and today are ours: results and futurity belong to God.?Horace Greeley. The future destiny of the child is always the work of the mother.?Napoleon. Tlie more you speak of yourself the more you are likely to lie.?Ziinmer man. The wise are polite ell the world r over; fools are polite only at home.? Bacon. A laugh to he joyous must 3ow from a joyous hear;-, for without kindness there can be no .rue joy.?Carlyle. A great deal of knowledge, which is not capable of making a man wise, has a natural tendency to make him vain I and arrogant.?Addison. Four "\vayK to Memxii. Hygienic living demands imperatively the absolute purity of the four following necessities: Air, water, food and thoughts. Granted these, you have the constituents out of which nature formulates such a perfect creature that the inward purity seems to lend a radiance to the personality. It is not simply a few breaths of fresh air a half dozen times a day that a woman needs, but a continubus supply, and just as the greater part of women are half starved for fresh air, so they are also stinted, oftener from ignorance than necessity, in the quantity of water the body requires to keep it clean and healthy. Pleasure of a pure, elevating nature has come to be recognized as having a distinctly therapeutic office and hence to be one of those factors which merit the same consideration and attention as other necessaries in a well ordered life. When Pen* Were Fir?t Used. About the year 003 A. D. pens made of quills were introduced. This is shown by the fact that the word penna, a quill, is not found, it is claimed, in any work bearing an earlier date. Previous to that time the word calamus. signifying a reed, was exclusively employed as a designation for the vehicle used in transferring the ink to the parchment or other surface selected by the writers of that early age. Steel pens first came into use in 1S03, and about twenty-two years later those composed of gold made their appear a nee. Preparations.
