The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, January 27,1904. Hilton ITotss. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Christmas has come and gone and the new year, 1904, has made its advent. We are becoming somewhat used to writing it, although I was shown a letter that one of my old widower friends bad received from his best girl and it was dated January 5,1903, and when I called his attention to it, he seemed to be in donbt whether it was one he had re* eeived last January or this January. Well, we all hope for the best and the big price Becured for cotton has brightened tip toe rarmeryery uiuuu. Cold, cold, a long cold Bpell has been with us for some tim& Some of the farmers say the oat crop is no good, others say it is all right Wheat crops all right. The old eong : "All quiet along the Potomac tonight1' by a slight change will suit us? notbiog stirring. Some few parties and cake walks have been in and around, but litile interest takeD. The mazy dance has almost played out Well, old 1903 is past and the mind reverts back to many episodes which were truly enjoyable. The soldiers re-union and then the teach er's school, then the fair and the circus and then Christmas. Daring the fair jour humble ser> ant like a good many other people concluded to take one day and see the sights, so as Saturday was the last day and the circus was to conclude the Festival, that was the day I decided on. So on Saturday morning I donned the best dry goods I . * possessed and wended my way to the city on the Congaree. Arriving j there I purchased three for a nickle, lit one, placed it on the right side of my mouth and gently strolled down the street?looking right and left for friends from old Sandy Run ; the crowd was immense and a fellow j had to elbow his way. Well, all at once I was caught by the arm?look- j ing around I was glad to Bee that it was oar old friend Bill S. Bill is a good fellow, a jovial fellow and the very mac to have a little pleasure with. Well old fellow what's up?nothing, only looking?that i3 just me, so spose we take things in ! together. Having no objections, we hooked arms, stopping every now and then to look at the shows. Particularly were we, or Bill, interested in the woman with the big si ake coiled around her neck?be seemed tn f?pl for her?md so expressed himself, also, we stopped to look at and hear three fellows blacked up or partially bo, as tbey looked as if something bad occurred to rub off some of tbe black on their faces. Bill said he believed they had been licking each other, fact is they re sembled pie-bald horses, or black and white spotted cattle. We passed on and looking down the street (I don's know the name of tbe street) Just below Rhea's stables I saw a large tent and ebout half a hundred people around it?all niggers. What's going on down there Bill ? Why man that is nothing but a flying Jenny. Of course they don't oall it a flying Jenny now?they call it a trapeze, but it is the same thing, don't you remember, we used to take a board and pin it across a stump and one fellow would get on one end ?a or fall nm fhc nthcr anrl nf AJJU aUVVUVi iVUUTT IfUV WUV4 VUVI) W4 a gal, and the balance, or a part of the scholars around. Lets go and look at it, so on we went. Well, it was beautifully fixed up?fine music | and nice looking ponies, saddled, bridled, all in pairs, and now and then a seat like a buggy seat?I suppose for old people. Bill said that he would like to ride around, seemed as if it would make j him feel young again. "What you ! Bay, old fellow, lets try it just once? "Well," says I?"I ain't anxious, but Bill, for your sake I am willing." Bill selected the KDries but I was in favor of taking the buggy seat. Bill said "no !" So we selected a pair of spotted bays. I mounted the inside pony and Bill the outside pony. About that time I noticed that there was not anybody but niggers riding and called Bill's attention^ to the fact. "Well, old fellow, if you wiU j show me any place in this Fair or j circus business where there ain't j niggers you'll see more than I have seen yet.'' Right in froDfc of us were two nigger damsels?black as a black cat in a dark room, end just behind us mounted on a pair of greys was a buck and his gal?both blacker than the other two. The gal had on green goggles. About that time we started, the ponies a rearing and a kicking up. About that time we made the round, my head got to whirling around like a buzz saw. I grabbed iny charger around the neck with both hands and pushed my feet as far under him as I could. Bill leaned over and asked me what was wrong. Says I, "Bill, stop this thing if you can, I can't stand it." Says he, old fellow, don't be sheared, just look at me." I twisted my head over and Bill threw his left leg over the pcmmoi hia anHdlft Next thin# I heard was stop?man overboard ! The thing stopped, I crawled out and saw Bill rubbiDg the dirt off bis head. One sharp little nigger looked at Bill and said : "Pears to me you's a race rider, ain't you V "You go to and So I and Bill wandered off towards the Fair grounds. We continued together the balance of the afternoon and when the sun went down we parted. Well, I expect 1904 will give some more good times. These gala times are like oasis in the great deserts. Mr. John McCartba and Miss Cumberland^ were married on Thursday, 14th inst. And so it is this winter, marriage and giving in marriage. I have but one wish for all: May they live loDg and be happy. Hoping for you and your journal a happy and prosperous year, I am as ever, H. Deafness Cannot be Cured By local applications, as they can not reach the deseased portion of tbe ear. There is only odo way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbliDg sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destoyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can not be cured by Hairs Catarrh Cure.. Send for circulars, free. F. J. Cheney & Co, Props., Toledo, O.
