Williams has several sick children at this writing, but glad to note that they are improving. On Saturday eve of the 18ih, the j young people of the above named place enjoyed an ice cream reception at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Ballentine, given by their charmiDg daughter, Miss Emma. The cream was of the best quality and was relished by all who partook of the delicious diet. After the reception was over Miss Emma presided at the organ and played and sang several excellent pieces of music, which was highly appreciated by all there. Miss Emma is an excellent organist and can manipulate some excellent pieces of music when she is in trim. The crowd was lively from beginning to end. Every thing passed off pleasantly and peaceably. Mr. J. K Shealy has a square cut "grin" on him?It's a boy. Mr. Howard, our shingle man, is doing a good business with his shingle mill. He outs from ten to twelve thousand per day. Messrs. M. L. Lindler and family and J. L Eargle and family enjoyed an old time fi9h fry on the bank of old Saluda last Thursday night. They report a good mess caught and a jolly old time. The fish bit so frightening that they had to go out on the bank behind trees to put their bait on their hooks. Mr. J. K. Lindler has been quite sick for the last few days, but glad to note he is improving now. The barbecue given at Hilton on Llie jLOlU Ul tills UltlUtU VJ IUD ITCH known cuists, Amick & Halfciwanger, will be long remembered by those who partook of the eatables. Despite the warm weather there were several rousing speeches on the good roads problem. The following gentlemen spoke: C. M. Efird, E. U. Shealy, J. H. Counts, J. B. Wingard, Dr. Geo. B Cromer and the Hon. A. F. Lever, all of whom presented some excellent ideas that would enable us to get good roads, if they | were properly carried out. The | scheme of taxing vehicles I think would be a very good scheme, as it would reach the saw mill men and we know they are generaUy the source of bad roads.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: At this writing I am sick, have been bad sick. Have had a great many experiences, of various kinds and of different natures; but none to compare with an aching head, buzzing and roaring from the effects of quinim; body racked with an excruciating pain, brow scorched with a burning fever aDd the wboD machinery out of fix and won't work.

I have rolled and tumbled from one side of the bed to the other, spent several restless nights, and which if compared to the "skeeter" time I would far prefer the latter. Crops in our secfion are needing rain very much. There will be a decided falling off if it does not come soon, but we hope ere this reaches the Editor, the sweet rain will have refreshed the flowers and vegetation. Mrs. Ellen LoreDZ, who has been a great sufferer for a number of years, died last Monday, the 20tb, at 12 o'clock. Her remains were laid to I rest by the side of her husband who preceded her a short while ago. We will say more about her later. The locomotive thresher has come and done its work and gone. It is quite convenient to the farmer to have his grain threshed at his door. Messrs. Smith & Craps, of Summit, did the work. They are gentlemen and told the writer they would come next harvest time again. This ought to be an incentive to the farmers to sow plenty of grain in the fall and we hope they will. Mr. Edwin Howell's child wa3 taken with convulsions last Tuesday and died the next day. It was buried in the burying ground at Gastoo. Our hearts go out in sympathy to the bereaved family. The first church of Gaston is no more. Last Tuesday morning between 12 o'clock and day it burned down. The origin of the fire is unknown. Mr. R. B. Fannings has sold out his entire possession in Gaston. That young prince of merchants and inergetic Mr. P. E. Hutto, of Swansea, was the buyer. He will continue the mercantile business there, so I ve been informed. Miss Dora E. Craft is teaching ?3 i i' I 3 _ _ _ . ? STYLE, LIGHTNESS AND STRT LINED IN OUJ j IBg E'tll S Uj FOR ME3i A !

The protracted meeting at Sardis church, about three or four miles east of Swansea, will commence the ! second Sunday in August. That notable and eminent divine Vernon F. Anson, of Columbia, will assist the pastor. He has the reputation of beingone of the beet. The public is cordially invited to attend all of these I services. I I Prof. J. V. Smith is teaching a I summer school at Clay Springs. It is enough to say he will succeed for he usually does. Mr. C. S. Goodwin is having a j canning establishment erected. Gaston is coming. A canning factory and a chair factory. We would cer| t.ainly be glad to see her come and j forge herself to the front.
