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

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.

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

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
On Tuesday evening, December
-29tb, a very enjoyable sociable was
.given at the residence of Mr. S J
-Huffman's. 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,

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,

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.
