The three-year-old child of Mr. Pick Sbealy, who resides near tbe depot, died last Thursday. This makes tbe fourth time that the angel of death has invaded tbis home, each time bearing away from him to the realm of eternity a bright jewel, a precious little rosebud. We sympathize with the grief stricken parents in their sad affliction. ^ m 0 i, Uev B. F. D.' Boute. r An examination was held before Postmaster Leaphart, in tbis place, last Saturday. The following were applicants: E. F. Hall, Daniel E. Boatwrigbt, Hilliard Hall and Lecky Senterfeit. This route starts from Samaria and runs down into Aiken county and is known as route No 1. * Death, of a Prominent Lady. ^ Mrs. E?belyn Heodrix, Dee Corley, wife of Mr. Scott Hendrix. died at her home od upper Main street last Thursday, after a long illness with consumption. Bravely did she battle for life but all that she cojild do availed not. The loviDg tender care of a devoted husband, the skillful treatment of an attentive pbysif cian and the careful nursing of affectionate relatives and friends could not arrest the progress of the fatal disease, and the gentle spirit cf the patient sufferer took its everlasting flight into tnat land where there Y is no more sickness, nor suffering f nor death. Besides her husband she leaves two small children together with many relatives and friends to mourn her departure. Her mortal remains were interred in St. Stephen's cemeterv Friday afternoon, the Rev. W. D Quick officiating, assisted by Rev. J. G. Graichen. The sympathies of the community go out to the stricken ones in their sad bereavement. f ITour is Your Time . When it is completed Mr. Mimnaugh, of Columbia, will have one of the largest, handsomest and most convenient department stores in the South. The building is to be three stories with large floor space, and fitted up: with all the modern cooP* veniences. H? has leased his present . store under Wright's Hotel, and will give possession sometime in July. In the meantime in order to save the cost of moving goods, and to fill his store with a fresh stocky seasonable - goods, he has marked goods down '? ? * :tv!?

It will pay you to buy goods now for future use, even if you do not need tbem now. When in Columbia call at Miinnaugh's, and see hie stock. All goods are fresh and seasonable. Swansea. Items. To the Editor of the Dispatch: m Complaints are made that in places ' there are bad stands of cotton. The pay school taught by Miss |9 Sue Thorne since the close of the SB public school, has closed. The patrons express themselves entirely satisfied with her two months' trial W at pay school. ' The ladies of the Methodist church bave had an entertainment for the benefit of the church with flittering 8UCC688. A few people went out to Saylor's lake, od Congaree river, on Ascension day arid enjoyed a good hah fry. William Stacler and some others bad ? goDe on a day before and caught a ' large quantity of trout, blue cats and carp, and on Thursday all thiDgs were ready and befo* j ten the crowd began to gather from all 6ides. Of Criders and Saylors a great multiI j tude and of Cullers and Backers not & 1 fnw, besides an array of Stablers aDd ! others from the vicinity. There was mu?ic but no dancing and the chief delight of everybody was to eat and driuk the spring water aDd be men with tbeir friend*. At the close of the ceremonies quite a Urge amount of the remainder was left untouched of that bountiful dinmr and the colored folks had also then a j )lly time. After dinner your humble scribe settled tbe question of what, amount of that celebrated fishing ground belonged to the claimants, Mrs. J Kinsler Davis and Mr. Henry J. Seibles. William Sajlor and sons beld the plats and represented the Hon. H J. Seibles and William Stabler, William Backer and George Davis represented tbe intents of Mrs. Davis with her plats. Ooly an amicable settlement was desired and to all sppearances tbe result was that a satisfactory adjudication was effect ed to all parties. Both the parties are large land holders in the vicinity ?od these locations were made by George Sightler, an old aDd reliable surveyor of the ccuntv, in 1838, for the fathers of each of these present owners Each party appears to own nearly equal portions of the valuable fishing grounds. Spectator. Klondike's Notes. To the Editor of the Dispatch: We venture to suggest that springtime is here, but where were the April showers. Mr. P. Hall & Bros., who have bought the Wagener land at Steadman, are moving their saw mill outfit down there and will cut up the timber. Steadman has a great future. Don't report any more babies to us. We have dropped the job of baby reporter?couldn't keep up. Hereafter all new comers will please report to "Traveler." Mr. Hutcbie Taylor had the misfortune to lose a small child, one day last week. Our sympathies go out to him in his hour of grief. Cotton and corn are somewhat backward in our community on ac count of the dry aDd cold weather. The old soldiers?may they have a good time in Charleston. All honor to the boys in grey. A negro by the Dame of Hollaway, who has been workiDg for Mr. T. S Sease, startled this commuDity lately by shouting aDd preaching everywhere he went. He claims to have been converted while at work aDd immediately called to preach. Some think he is crazy but he made 6ome old sinners think anyway. A small child which was carried off from here by him has not been seen for some days. What disposition he has made of the child is notkaown. Klondike. Billy Feliz's Letter. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Since our last communication the refreshing showers have come and everything now puts on a bright hue, while some thiDgs and people are sad and seem down cast It may be a iittie out of the regular order of thiDgs to mix the sad with the gay, but then I think if we all would he more gay and cheerful it would b9 better for us, though it is a pretty difficult thing to do under certain circumstances. Since our last the death angel has visited these parts and claimed several precious ores f^r tbe bright beyond Mrs. J. W. Rstder, wh)m we mentioned as being ill, patted away on the morning of the 3rd inst., at her beautiful home at the famous Cross Roads. She was born January 9tb, 1842. She early joined the Baptist church at Florence. She remained firm in the faith till death claimed her for the Master. She was a loyal, devout consecrated child of God, * an bffecfcionate, devoted wife, a loving, kind mother. She bore her sufferings with Christian fortitude and gave the assurance teat she was ready when the summons came for she said: 4\I am ready to go " Her remains were interred in tbe burying ground at New Hope, in the presence of a large sorrowing congregation. On the 7'b, the infant of Mr. and Mrs Ed. B cbman, of Columbia, died aud was buried at Harmony church on the 8 h. On the 8;h tne little babe of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Roberts died and was buried at Gaetcn on the 9th. Tbe fnncr?il cprvinpn hpincr r?nnfinotpfl hv W. B. Fall aw.~ God claimed these dear, precious little angels for His. May this dispensation of God's providence be a means of drawing us all near to Jesus, to whom we heartily commend the bereaved ones in their sore trials of iftiction. May God's blessings emiie upon them. Our hearts go cut m deep sympathy for the unfortunate ones. Mrs. G. A Goodwin has returned from Blackville, where she was called to the bed side of her sltbcted father, who has since died and was laid away last Sunday, the 8th, in the presence of a very large gathering of sorrowing ooes. Mrs. W. A Goodwin is sti^l uDable to be up. We hope ere long to see her up and out again. May 1G, 11)04.
