An Enjoyable Occasion.
Qn the 26th of September, this
D-1. Shealy, of near Chapin, reached
the 56th milestone on the journey cf
life. Fifty-six years of good, faithful
performance of every trust imposed
upon him as a citizen, a neighbor,
a husband, a father and a friend
had been taken from his allotted time,
-3 ?'? fV>of V>ia Traliiahlo iifn
BUU IU giauiiuuo vuuu utu
had been spared thus long, his children
tendered to him a birthday supper
at his residence. Only the immediate
relatives of the family and a
few specially invited friends, among
the latter being Congressman A.
Frank Lever, an old friend of the
family, were present, and yet so numerous
is the tribe uShealy" that not
less than a hundred people, meD, women
and children enjoyed the hospitality
and good cheer of the occasion.
The table was arranged out in the
yard, for the dining room would not
accommodate the number who bad
come to offer congratulations and
wish bim God speed and many more
years of usefi ln?es; and it was such
a table as only the good wives and
'daughtere of this blessed section can
^ i
prepare. .tseautiiuiiy aecoratea whd
the cboisest flowers, it was more substatially
decorated with every good
thing that the inner man calls good.
Tour correspondent, who is not a
' big eater, but by the time he had
tasted of the various tempting things
persuading his appetite, he found it
necessary to let out his belt a few
notches. After the supper the youDg
folk of the crowd enjoyed a most
pleasant dance to music furniehed by
the Counts string band, an organization
of musical talent that can't be
beaten in the world of amateur music.
The old folk looked on, and reveled
in the memory of other days
when they carried in their step and
on their cheek the sprightliness and
bloom of youth and love. The crowd
broke at eleven, wended its way
homeward and decided in is mind
that it had never enjoyed an occasion
more.
May all the family live to see many
returns of this happy event, and
may Mr. Shealy grow stronger and
stronger in the esteem of his friends
and Mr. Shealy be spared many years
of usefulness as a citizen.

There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and until
the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it a local
disease and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease
and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is
taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. It acts
directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it

To the Editor of the Dispatch.
I have been reading with great in*v.
a nwooont friol of .T H. Till- I
bUlOOII tUC ^LCCtUV k4>H* w> v- ? -
man, charged with the murder of N.
G. Gonzale. It will doubtless seem
strange to many why I Bhould be interested
in the trial. It is because
the murder was committed in my old
native State and prominent citizens
of the State are connected with it.
I have kept up with it from the time
the killing was done until the preeent
time.
Well, Mr. Editor, as to the crop report
of our county, we have a fine
corn and hay crop. Wheat and cotton
crops are not so good. Cotton
Buffered from the drouth of the past

two months. The crop will not be
so large as previously estimated. I
think not over a half crop will be
made.
I have enjoyed the pleasure of attending
the Missouria State fair at
St. Louis last week. It was magnificent
and a grand success, and the
eight on the grounds where the
world's fair is to be in 1904, is superbly
beautiful. The tremendous
holel being erected on the grounds
of the St. Louis Fair is to be of
steel, three stories in height and will
cover an area of fourteen acres. The
dining room will be large enough to
seat a brigade of soldiers and the
plans contemplate the accommodation
of seven thousand guests. It is said it
will b9 the largest hotel in the world.
The Louisiana Territory embraces the
country lying west of the Mississippi
river to the summit of the Rocky
Mountains. The Louisiana Territory
has been divided into twelve States
and two Territories. I hope, Mr.
Editor, to have the pleasure of meeting
you. together with many more of
my South Carolina friends, in 1904.
With best wishes to you and your
Dispatch, I remain your friend,

fatal attack of whoopiDg cough and
bronchitis,*' writes Mrs. W. K. Havi

used this wonderful medicine and today

he was stricken down with paralysis

Chicago, Oct. 14 ?The "Restoration
Host," from Zion City began its
movement on New York city today.
At intervals of half an hour trains
loaded with followers of John Alexander
Dowie left the North shore
city- There were eight trains in all,
bearing over 3,000 "crusaders." At
the blowing of the fire whistle every
inhabitant of the city was ready to
kneel and pray for a safe journey
and over 7,000 men, women and
children gathered at the railroad
station to listen to the final instructions
of the leaders.
