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,
