There was quite a pleasant gathering of the young people at a Fourth of July picnic, near Providence church. Hon. John Bell Towill was in town Monday looking as smiling and as pleasing as a sixteen-year-old boy, in company with his be6t girl.

Dreher, Esq., of the Fork, was in town Thursday 88 a witness in the reference case in re the estate of Isaiah Lowman, deceased.

They can drop in most any time without any inconvenience to themselves and pay part if not all what is due us. Won't you do it, friend, and help us to pull through the dull summer months? Substantial Farmers. Mr. John E. Fulmer, one of the best farmers of the Spring Hill section, and an all-round good fellow, was in town Thursday selling cotton at 12 cents. He was accompanied by his son-in-law, Mr. P. E. Eleazer, who is another successful farmer of the same section, who also brought cotton along with him. This incident shows how well they have managed their farming operations during the last season and we confidently believe that were they asked the secret of their success they would both unhesitatingly reply that they raised their supplies for home consumption and made cotton their surplus or money crop. There are plenty more farmers in this county who have done this also, and whose experience along this line will corroborate those of the gentlemen mentioned above. Let doubting Thomases try the experiment for themselves and they will be thoroughly convinced that diversified farming is the better plan. Dots from IToar Peak. To the Editor of the Dispatch: We are having some very warm weather for the last few days, giving us farmer boys a good time to make hay. Our section wa9 visited last Sunday evening by a refreshing rain which was very much needed. The crops in thi9 community are good, considering the late start in the spring, but as the old saying, "pull and null", and we will find the end r ; of the rope after awhile. How many of you young boys were caught in the rain last Sunday evening? Next time you go, you, had better carry your parasols. J. Adam Meetze accompanied by bis sister, Mary Ann, were visiting Mr. Davis' family last Sunday. There is talk of Mr. Joe Meetze having a barbecue. That's right, Joe, we have been waiting to have a feast of juicy meats and high seasoned hash, and a day of enjoyment. Mrs. Frances Chapman was visiting her daughter, Mrs. T. E. Addy, last Sunday, near Peak. Well boys you did not make your flying trip to Leesville to the barbecue on 27th ulfc. and guess you will now wait until the 14th, the old soldiers reunion. A good many folks attended the 'cue at Pomaria last Saturday and report having a grand old time. The music was delightful and that old fantastic step was enjoyed by the youDg folks.
