Somethings Eehord.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Too now can hear the constant cry,
Where'er you chance to stop.
The weather continues very dry
And the sunshines dreadlullv hot.
Farm work is progressing nicely
notwithstanding a much needed rain !
i would greatly benefit matters.
Wheat is ripening and ere this !
reaches the readers of the Dispatch
much will be harvested. The heads i
are well filled and I think the yield j
| wilfbe above the average.
( Fall oats are excellent, wane later i
sowing is much inferior owing to the
late dry spring.
Soon the candidates will he in the land.
Gripping the voter tightly by the band;
Smiling and chatting with the ladies,
Treating and kissing their pretty babies.
Mr. Jacob Boone is the champion
crow killer thus far, having bagged
five as the result of one shot. Ask
> friend Jake how he did it.
Mr. Frank B Goodwin says he has ;
discovered a sure preventative of 1
chicken cholera. Write or ask him j
concerning bis remedy.
| W. N. Neili has been promoted j
> from section master to road master ;
on the Savannah division on the S. .
A. L. R. R This is a promotion
* ?
worthily bestowed.
Already the delicious peaches have
been coming this way and such feasting
on pies is enough to make the
gods envious?[Go 'way, Billy! Don't
tickle our appetite so. Ed ]
Watch the candidate while on the round,
And view him with a critic's eye;
Should his character prove unsound,
Pass him very affectionaly by.
The friends of Mr. P. E. Hutto
speak of putting him forward for the
Souse. Should Paul make the race, j
be will make it lively for the man
who beats him.
Talk about you May picnics and
courting expositions; talk about
thanksgiving day with turkey, trim- j
mings and cranberry sauce; talk
about 4ib of July barbecues with
that eloquent vote seeker; talk about
your hymenial gathering with wedding
cakes and edibles, but what are
AM U/? f A ATI G nf ADO
tUOJf WJ UD WUJi/OlCU tU UL1C Ul kiuuoo
good old first class birth day dinners?
Such an odo Billy was invited to on
the 25th ult, at the home of our es- !
teemed friend, A. B. Sbarpe. It was
the occasion of his fifty-first birthday.
All the children and the grandchildren
and friends, etc, were there
and such another feast of good
things spread upon the board there
was before. Ob, my! it makes an
acking void in the gastronomical regions
even now when I think about
the many nice edibles there on that
occasion. Mr. Sbarpe is one of my
good patrons on the R.F.D, and I
thing when "Klondike's" wistful eye
falls upon this, he, too, will want his
patrons to treat him and his likewise.
Mr. Editor, what has become of
the road convention? Feradventure
it has gone to the World's Fair; or,
perchance it has crossed the mighty
deep and is now taking part in the
Russc-Jap war, or, perhaps, it might
nrr ifa fnrnao TOifVl a X7IPW
WC ICViUUiU^ iVU tvtvuu navu v. > >v
for a fishing outing on the waters of
the famous Black creek.?[Neither
one of these three surmiees, Bilh! It
has simply gone up "Salt River" to be
seasoned and sugar cured for home
consumption by future generations.

A Family Reunion.
Published by Request.
A pleasant day was spent on Thursday,
May 12, at the Uncle Joe Shealy
home place, near Little Mountain.
The occasion was a family reunion.
Unfortunately, by misunderstanding,
not more than half were present who
otherwise would have been on hand.
But anyone would have considered
the number present sufficient for a
* good size family.
The day was spent as such days
usually are?in social concourse,
Jinging, and by no means least, in
eating. . At about 11 o'clock about 75
had gathered. All were in good
spirits and seemed bent in getting all
out of the day there was in it. The
renewing of the family ties, recalling
fond meraeries and paying devotion
and respect to the aged mother,
grandmother and great grandmother
w ere amoDg the good the occasion
[
MHWM?H???8????M??
meant. The dinner was sufficient
for double the number present. That
however, need not mean that half
was left.
At the organ Mrs. S. C. Bailenfcine
and Miss Ola Counts presided, and
i it would have been difficult to have
improvished a better choir anywhere
in the country. The last selection,
"God be with you till we meet again,"
touched and moved the soul of the
crowd.
The descendants of the family are
legioD. Uncle Joe Shealy died March
o, 1901, at the ripe age of nearly 91
years. His widow, Aunt Polly, nee
Miss Polly Bright, still survives, and
lives at tbe old home with her son
Preston. They were married August
19, 1838, making s union of sixty two
years, six months and sixteen days.
They had nine children. The oldest
was Amanda Mahala, the wife of Mr.
James Slice, near White Hock. She
died six or eight years ago. Here
are five children aLd twenty grand
children living and three dead. The
nexti9 Happy Carrie, whose husband,
Mr. Paul Derrick, died at their home
near Peak five or six years ago. She
has four children living and two dead;
| also four grandchildren living. Hiiliard
was the first son, now living
i near Peak. He has ten children livi
ing and one dead, with twelve living
and two dead grandchildren. Tbe
it - a l ^ _ t
tourtn is Mary Marina, me wiit? oi
Mr. H. H. Counts, near Peak. Tbey
also have ten children living and one
dead. They have 15 living grandchildren
and one dead. Thomas Napoleon
is the second eon and fifth
child. He is a merchant at Little
Mountain, and has just built an elegant
home in that town. He has six
children living and one dead. John
David, better known as "Jack", is
next. He lives about two miles east of
Little Mountain. He has three children
and three grand children living
and one grandchild dead. J. Preston
lives at the old home place. He has
| two living children and two dead.
William, the eighth child, died in
Columbia some six or eight years ago.
LHe had seven children and one
grandchild. The youngeBt child,
Jane, is the wife of Mr. Hilliard
Hipp. They live near Little Mountain.
This family numbers seven
! children living and two dead.

A Sad Death.
After retiring Monday night, the
| 23rd of May in as good health as
! was his wont, our worthy citizeD,
Henry Spires, died at half past nine,
j being 77 years and 3 days old. He
' leaves to mourn his death, besides a
I host of friends, an aged widow, who
; borejfor him thirteen children, eleven
i of whom are still living, and forty'
four grandchildren and twenty-two
j great grandchildren. In early manI
hood he became a Christian, joined
| the Baptist church and was ordained
a Deacon, an office which he filled
! with credit to his church. While we
j mourn his loss we find consolation in
! the hope that he is now basking in
the sunlight of Jesus. J. B. K.
