The Lexington Dispatch. | Wednesday, January 13. 1904. A Vistto Lexington. To the Editor of the Dispatch. 1 am bo well pleased with the Lexington Dispatch, the paper of my old county I will endeavor to pen a few lines for publication in its columns. I am a native of Lexington county, having moved to Fairfield county in 1873, near the line of Richland * ? T />.no 1 xr i n (profit ort in 1 COUUCjr. X 1LLI J Ct glconj iuvuI VU'VU Lexington. Recently I paid a visit to my brother, who resides in the v town of Lexington and was agreesbly surprised to see the great improvements there. What seemed to be a dead village when I livr d in your community, is now a town of enter prise, thrift and geaeral prosperity. - Now are to be seen four handsome ehurohes, viz: Lu'herao, Methodist, Baptist and Episcopal. The Pal znetto Collegiate Iustitnte, well patronized, and in a most flourishing condition, under the managem?nt of Prof. 0 D Seay, principal; Jimes fL Hnnfl. M*rv C. Wingard mod Mary Hoory, assistants. Any one wishing to patronize a gool school will do well to consider the educational qualities of tbi3 one before sending their children elsewhere. I aiso had 15 or 16 stores and other places of business. Some other buildings are being erected, which will compare favorably with those in Columbia. Ia there stores you can find almost any article of merchandise. There are two banks here which apparently are prosper* log handsomely ; one cotton mill, which is being operated under the presidency of that prince of business meijfc, Mr. W. P. Roof; two blacksmith and wagon shops and many other smaller enterprises; eight lawyers, two physicians, two hotels and several boarding bouses. Many handsome and costly private residences dot- the town, while others are in coarse of constt uction. During my st*y in Islington I called on my life-long friend, the Hon. S. P. Wmgard, and spent a oonple of very pleasant days in his hospitable home. I found my friend prospering and seasoning to ei joy life to the fullest extent. May be live long and prosper. All of this great improvement is t uly gratify iog to me although 1 live 10 an adjoining coanty. Wishing- The Dispatch and all of its readers a prosperous new 3 ear, I am sincerely, G H. Schwartz. p _ ^ _ A Very Close Call. ' I stuck to my engine, although every joint ached end every nerve was racked with pain," writes C. W. Bellamy, a locomotive fireman, of Burlington, Iowa. "I was weak and pale, without any appetite and all run down. As I was about to give up, I got a bottle of Euctric Bitters, and after taking it, I felt as well as I ever did in my life." Weak, sickly, run down people always gain new life, strength and vigor from their use Try them. Satiofaction guaranteed by The Kaufznanu Drug Co.

Besides the opportunity being furnished for the young people to assemble together for an eveningv of pleasure it win oe not aniiss 10 mention in this connection that this date marks tbe twelve mile post of j the marriage life of the daughter of ; Mrs HuffmaD, Mrs. Lizze, to Mr. \ P. B Bsarden dow of Columbia, S | C-, who have spent this period of j their lives very happily together and j who seemed to enjoy the evening j very much indeed. There was a i I large crowd present consisting of tbe old aLd young a9 well as the j middle aged and many childieD. j About midway of the iv^nin^'a eater- i taininent a cake walk wa-j engaged in j by a iiifcjjiity oi those present. The j cake was so large, beautiful and y ornamental that it was well worth the while for any couple to face the winter's chilling breeze, and contest for it; at the conclusion of which all were invited down to tbe dining room to partake of the bountiful repast, "ii in in iiwiw iiiii i mi j ? > .

Then a sudden movement sends a tnnn or pain through her and she realizes -that though , love may lighten labor it cannot lighten pain. Thousands of women who have suffered from backache, headache, and ot?er consequences of womanly disease, have been made well women by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It establishes regularity, dries unhealthy drains, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. I cannot say enough in praise of Dr. Pien.^e'f JXvorite Prescription as it has done me so much good." writes Mrs. Henry Harrell. of Tarboro. N. C.. Box 109. "I was swollen so I could hardly walk when I began taking the ' Favorite Prescription.' I also had uterine trouble and could neither eat nor sleep only as I took morphine. Tried four different doctors and they all failed to do me any good, so one of my friends recommended vour ' Favorite Prescription ' to me and I took onlv three bottles and am now well and hearty, (fan do almost any kind of work." Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the most desirable laxative for delicate women. the sufficiency and completeness of whioh in variety, quality and quantity could Dot be improved upon. After all bad shared in this part of the*; programme to their satisfaction there seemed to be a sufficient amount remaining for a repetition of the same act many times over. Among the visitors present were Misses Corrie Huffman and Minnie Black, also Mr. John Nichols of Colombia, S C, who added much'to the enj>}ment and pleasure of the occasion. Mrs. Huffman, assisted by her daughter, Miss Ella, makes an elegant hostess as they left nothing undone to add to the pleasure and amusement of their guests. The musisfor the occision was furnished _ 9 I by Mr. W. W. Spence. Mr. SpeDce is a violinist of much fxperience and announcement of his being present for.this purpose was hailed with delight. Mrs. Alice Wright gave areceptioD on the evening uf the 28th of Deeem! ber.to the members of the Missionary Society of St. Andrews church, of which she is the efficient and wideawake president. Refreshments were served and the occasion was very much eDj >yed by every oce present. Mr. and Mrs. S P. Youngiaer gave an elegant and bountifur dinner on Wednesday, the 3(Kh of December, to the immediate family connections only. Mr. H. A Conner and family have gone to D illas, N. C, where they will spend several weeks with relatives. A sociable gathering of young people was held at the residence of Mr. S. R Youngnier on the evening of the 30th of December near Irmo, which was very much etpyed by all. G. Found a Cure for Indigestion. I used Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets for indigestion and find that they suit my case better than any dyspepsia remedy I have ever tried and I have used many different remedies. I am nearlv fiftv one years of age and have suffered a great deal from indigestion. I can eat almost anything I want to now. ?Geo. W. Emory, Rock Mills, Ala. For sale by The Kaufmann Drug Co.
