Billy Felis's LetterTo
the Editor of the Dispatch:
Delightful farming weather.
Wheat presents a verdant aspect
that is restful to the vision to beheld.
There will be a good crop harvested
if no pest infest it before it matures.
^ The recent cold snap nipped many
a tender plum and delicate peach in
the bud; but still there is enough left
k to satisfy the appetite cf the most
& fastideous.

Early planting is up, growing and
doing nicely. Think the stands will
be splendid.
Mr. Harry Rowell is now artistically
applying the paint brush to the
exterior part of Mr. W. F. Mack's
cottage.
Mrs. G. A. Goodwin is now in
Blackville at the bedside of her
ffiicted father. "We hope he may recover
soon and that she will soon
come back to the one who is anxiously
awaiting her return.
Mr. D. B. Sphaler had a public
^ auction recently. He sold out his
household and kitchen furniture,
took his good lady and little Alton
to the "Land Flowers" where he will

Btores business for the next two or
ir three years. He says then he will
come back to the old Palmetto State
and make dear old Lexington his
home.
The birds are singing.
The flowers are blooming,
The young folks are sporting,
The candidates are booming.
k Watch the columns of the Disl
patch. Ere soon they'll be crowded
with the names of the dear vote
seekers. Well, let them come. Don't
be afraid, boys, but come out in time,
stay in the race to the finish and
Billy's prediction is you'll get "thar,''
(some where). We are going to put
up some men who are going to make
^ the boys hustle with a double qaick
if they leave them.
We are pleased to chronicle the
m good news that our esteemed friend
L neighbor, D. A. Shank, who has been
P sick with an attack of the dreadful
Grippe, is up and out again to the
delight of bis many friends. That
hightoned Christian gentleman and
skillful physician, Dr. W. T. Brooker,
attended him.
Mr. T. B. Sharpe, who is now in
the employment of the Cameron
k Furniture factory, is spending the
& Easter days with the Felix family.
Mr. Emanuel Sharpe, an aged veteran
of 84 years, was laid to ree$ in
the Gaston buryiDg ground here, recently.
The funeral oration was delivered
by N. A. Hemrick from Job
| xiv-14. A large sorrowing congre^
gation had gathered to view the remains
of our departed friend. Our
hearts go out in sympathy to the
afflicted ones,
k The school at Athens came to a
close without the anticipated entertainment.
"With the approach of the warm
halcyon days, the noble mocking
bird sits perched upon some eleva
tion, warbling his melodious lays of
*love and friendship, while a number
of the famous martins fill the surrounding
air with a continual upkroar
of twittering songal

closed a successful term of school at
Oak Grove, anticipates taking the
teachers' course at the South Carolina
College to better equip herself
for the trying duties of the school
. room.
The health of the Felix family continues
excellent, save now and then
an outburst of cold. We feel grateful
to our heavenly father for the
blessings that rest upon our dear
EH happy home. Should you chance to
pass this way, Mr. Editor, drop in
\ and break bread with us.
Look out for the Parker-Hearst
boom.
There is a young man in this world,
Who has a massive brain.
When he writes a letter to his best girl,
He mails it on the train.
Everything moves along smoothly
* along our R. F. D. route, and our
k people realizes the benefits derived
thereby, and others still drop in and
accept the good service Uncle Sam
offers them.

bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as ,
most peopie suppose.

Robbed The Grave.
A startling incident, is narrated by |
John Oliver, of Pbilidelphia, as
follows: lI was in an awful con- (
I
dition. My skin was almost yellow, t
eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain
continually in back and sides, no !
appetite, growing weaker day by day. i
Three physicians had given me up.
Then I was advised to use Electric
Bitters; to my great jdj, the first j
bottle made a decided improvement I
I continued their use for three weekF, J
and am now a well man. I know
they robbed the grave of another i
victim " No one should fail to try
them. Only 50 cents, guaranteed,

Senator Tillmau has notified Super- j
intendant of Education Martin that
he will appoiot Mr. Gibbes Lykes as
a cadet to West Point, and that the
alternates will be George C Bowen
and W. H. Price in the order named, j
Mr. Robert Stephenson Simmons, of !
Charleston, really won the first place
in the competitive examination, but |
for good reasons to himself he signed j
his papers "Robert Stephenson" and I
did not sign them with his proper :
name, Simmons."

A Thougtful Man.
M. M. Austin, of Winchester, Ind.,
knew what to do in the hour of need.
His wife bad such an unusual case of
stomach and liver trouble, physicians
could not help her. He thought of
and tried Dr. King's New Life Pills
and she got relief at once and was
finally cured. Only 25;., at The

G-reat Wcnea Pioneers.
History has fully recorded the
deeds of the men who have laid the
foundations of this nation in the
western wilderness; but the women
who shared with the men pioneers
the dangers and hardships of the
frontier have received little notice
from either historians or novelists.
A great deal of light is thrown upon
the Great Women of Pioneer Times
in a series of articles that is appearing
in the Delineator. The subject
in the May number is Catherine Sevier.
This remarkable womaa took
and important part in many of the
stirring events of the times, and exerted
a powerful influence upon all
with whnm f-hs came in contact,. As
tie wife of an equally remarkable
man she became the first lady iD the
wFree State of Franklin,11 and afterward
the first occupant of the Gubernatorial
Mansion of Tennessee.
A Pitiful Story.
A woman, who fifteen years ago
was a society belie in New York and
the niece of a former secretary of
the treasury of the United Slates,
has been sent to prison for two
months for intoxication. She was
found by the police lying upon the
street, the centre of a gapiug crowd
That was ber first public offense.
The story is pitiful, pitiful. On
the same day another woman who
had moved in good society in New
York was for the 45fch time sentenc
ed to prison for drunkenness.
Sciatic Rheumatism Cured.
"I have been subject to sciatic
rheumatism for year," says E. Wal
dron, of Wilton Junction, Iowa. "My
joints were stiff and gave me much
pain and discomfit. My joints would
crack when I straightened up. I
used Chamberlain's Pain Balm and
have been thoroughly cured. Have
not had a pain or ache from the old
trouble for many months. It is certainly
a most wonderful liniment/'

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
As I am the founder and general
mauager of the town of Steadman,
I will make one statement that will
prove to the readers of the Dispatch
that Steadman is not a thiefy place,
as asserted by "Traveller:" My
smokehouse is on the outside of the
vard and contains a good suddIv of
? ~ ? O 11 "
home raised meats aDd lard, and it
has not been broken into for 5 ears.
Mr. Traveller has done Steadman and
its people an injustice in putting it
and us down as thieves through the
newspapers. Yours, &3.,

A Dandy for Burns.
Dr. Berlin, Pane, 111 , writes: 4,I
have used Ballard's Snow Liniment;
always recommend it to my friends,
as I am confident there is no better
made. 'It is a dandy for burns'.
Those who live on farms are especially
liable to many accidental cuts,
burns, bruises, which heal rapidily
when Ballard's Snow Liniment is
applied. Id should always be kept
in the house for cases of emergency."
