To the Editor of the Dispatch: The weather has become warm and settled again and work is being pushed rapidly on all Bides. The recent rains have set our; farmers far behind with their work. County Treasurer Shealy, with a force of hands, was in town last week harvesting his wheat that was grown on his plantation near here. Magistrate Shealy's daughter, of Fredonia, who has been confined with fever for the past six weeks, is convalescent. Prof. John E. Hood of this place, is now a hustling: salesman for the E. A. Brown Tobacco Co, of Greensboro, N C. Mr. M. A. Lewis of near here, was in town Thursday. Mr. George R Sease of near here, was in town last week. He informed this writer that he had just dug 35 bushels of fine Irish potatoes; has an abundance of cabbage and a good supply of other vegetables, besides plenty of stock food. Such is a model farmer. Mr. C. A. Shealy of near Irene, S. C., was in town Sunday. Mr. M. B. Hayes of near Lewiedale, was on our streets last week. Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Hartley attended services at St. Paul's (Hollow Creek) the second- Sunday morning ? and visited relatives in the Priceville ^ section in the afternoon. ? Mr. Editor, as your scribe is waging such a war against Gen. Green, the time I have for this week has ex- i pired. Best wishes to The Dispatch. Joe Allen. t 1 items xrom souta Foris. To the Editor of the Dispatch: ^ Your humble servant contemplated writing a long letter to you this week, but %<man proposes and God disposes". The rains came and my intentions were frustrated and I could not take my proposed ramble. One subject alone agitates the minds of our citizen farmers at this * time?grass. We are in it and whether we are going to stay in it in the future the weather will decide. We hope for good weather now and if we get it, it won't be long be- , fore our ciops will be all right.

Great fears were entertained for the bridge but like a raging lion she seems to have expended her wrath and is now silently following her old channel. We hear of a great ileal of damage done in the up country and our sympathies go out to the sufferers. The Sunday school at this place is getting on finely and numbers a large attendance, so report says. Mr. Neece and Mr. Abney, the former pastor of the Lutheran church ind the latter of the stockade, were in their places Sunday. Large congregations were at both places. Good health prevails in the neighDorhood. H. June 15, 1903. The Worst Confirmed. Portland, Ore., June 16.?Instead of hree hundred being killed in the destruction of Heppner, as the first dis- | patches indicated, it is now definitely mown that over five hundred lost heir lives in the torrent of water vhich swept through the valley. Three hundred bodies have been re- i covered, and almost as many more ire wedged in the wreckage strewn ilong Willow creek valley.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: i It has been sometime since I have wrote to the Dispatch, and as there are a few items from about here, I shall send them. Several of our young ladies who have been attending the various schools and colleges have returned to their respective homes, among them, are Miss Estelle Hook, who has been attending the Columbia Female College, and Miss Irene Hook who has been attending the Carlisle Fitting School. We welcome them in our midst again. The health of this section i9 very good at present. We have had rain enough to flood the whole country and it has done so much damage to the crops not only in this county but in every county in the State, and ruin and desolation in other States. The fruit crop will be very short this year as it was damaged by the cold. Blackberries are very plentiful an fhp pnnlf hot't'Pr f?!l her pana | these delightful berries. *. V* I Many of the young folk went to | the Congaree bridge last Sunday to j see the full river. Hies Emma Rowell, of Florence, is visitiDg her aunt, Mrs. G. C. Hook. J Misses Annie Buff and Minnie j Hook are visiting Mrs. S. C. Kinsler, | | the aunt of the latter, j Miss Mattie Marchant is visiting her aunt, Mrs. Sallie Bodie, at Leeeville. With best wishes to the Dispatch j and its many readers. Brown Eyes. Electric Line. The Aiken-Augusta electric line has filed in the Secretary of State's office about twenty-four deed3 to various j pieces of property recenly acquired j by the road over its line. It is selI dorn that a road takes such steps, the recording usually being done in each county, but the road probably desires to make things doubly secure, and the deeds signify the purchase outright of the land instead of the acquiring of a right of way. j Hundreds Dead at Heppner. The Dalles, Ore., June 16 ?A. telephone message from lone states that the latest find in the ruins of Heppner indicates that the loss of life will be much greater than at first supposed. The casualty list will foot up 500 and many of the bodies will never be recovered. The property loss and destruction of buildings alone will aggregate probably a million dollars. Tnis is regarded as a conservative estimate. One bundled and fifty of the best rerideocts were swept from the earth. The debris is piled along the railroad track to the height of freight cars. The leluf work i3 progressing at a satisfactory pace. James Kernan, the Oregon R ilway and Navigation company agent, met bis death at the telegraph key trying to call Portland to inform the outside world of the impending calamity. Ojeofthe nio?t thrilling adven : tures was that of Tom Shuter. wtio with his family, was carried down sir<am in his house for a miie and u half. His wife and 2 children c'iimb-d into the upper rooms. Below town it crossed the creek to the west aide, where it lodged in debris 150 yardi from the canyon bank. Shuter then took bis two little ones and swam a uuiiuicu jaiU3. no iauucu vuv dren and then rescued his wife. Seventy five men are digging graves on the hillside. Prompt measures are being taken to prevent a plague. The weather threatens to become hot and a relief corps to clean the town is urgently needed. Steadman Items. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Not often do I undertake to write for your paper, and would not now were it not to give you some echoes from Steadman.
