Shady Grove Items.
To the EJitor of the Dispatch:
We were all delighted and encouraged
last week by the much
needed rains which came to us. Tbev
were just in time to save our beautiful
crops.
Children's Day wa3 observed at
Shady Grove church, Saturday, July
23rd. Although it seemed it would
b9 a rainy day, a large congregation
was present. Tee exercises were
opened by a quartette antbem, followed
by the opening hymn and
prayer by the Rsv. N. S. Younginer,
The opening exercises were conducted
by the Rev. J. L. Ray, pastor ic
charge. The exercises of the daj
were under the supervision of G. L
Bouknighfc, superintendent of the
Bchool, who had arranged it with
care and provided such subjects foi
recitation by the children as are prac
tical and instructive for a moral as
well S3 religious life. Would that
everyone present on that occasion
live np to the lessons taught by the
youthful declaimers. All the participants
recited well, but some declaimed
with such such force and
emphasis as to bring applause from
the congregatiou.
The crowning point of the occasion
was an address given by Prof.
Haynes, of Leeeville college. With
the power of eloquence and simplicity
he urged the necessity, and illustrated
results, of forming, fixiog and
lighting for a good purpose in life.
After the address dinner was announced
and all partook to a full satisfaction
of a plenteous and wellprepared
feast. '
Immediately after dinner the rain
came and ^he people assembled ic
the chureh aod enjoyed a short and
social chat until Prof. Hayne was
prevailed upon to give another speech
After telling of some of the good
advantages offered by( Leesville col
lege, he spoke about twenty minutes
en the great subject of magnifying
and beautifying the home, the school
and the church. We feel bettered
by having this noble teacher with us
and bearing him speak.
Special mention is due to Miss
Luis Eleazer, organist and choir director,
for the music so much enjoyed.
It was commended by compe
tent judges. Miss Lula believes ic
magnifying the home, the school and
church. In all three of these Bhc

There were but few political candidates
present, but the other kind
were plentiful. The election for the
former will be August 30th. I dc
sot know when the one for the later
will occur, but I do know that some
hope that it be soon.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Were it not for the agitation of a
1 ?-_ 1:? ?u:?u .1 iu:n i:
puDiic quesuuu wmuu, at id ia uuc,
is badly needed, I should not replj
to Uncle George at all.
My first article on this subject was
written in a joking spirit, but now
I shall be more serious. "Good
roods,*' is indeed getting to be a
serious problem.
Everybody is talkiDg of good
roads and all the time our roads are
gro1. ing worse and worse, at least in
j some portions of the county and es!
pecially in the sand hill sections.
New fieids are being cleared up,
though which the roads tud, and, of
course, in a short while the road become
a full grown sand bed from one
end of the field to the other. Nor
is this all. The grubs and rGots are
drug out into the load and here they
are left to wear away. Many old j
worn out buggies and wagons show
signs of the conil.ct before the aforesaid
grub is demolished. No road
hand ever held a grudge at the old
grub. If he did, he was willing to
let some old vehicle do the fighting
for him. Sure he'd not put his hand
on an old grub to remove it from its
1 .
long resting place. Now, in my
bumble judgment (now I must use
the word judgment very sparingly as
1 Uncle George ha3 a corner on that
r
article) the County Commissioner is
by right of his office an overseer of
! the roads.
We have a statute in our road law
which declares that all public roads
' shall be 20 feet wide. Now, who
1 ever heard of any one trying to en;
force that law?
i But better times are comiog. Some
> of the men who are up for the place of
Commissioner are promising that if
they are elected they will see fco it
[ that all roads running through fields
t shall be laid off; and, better, they 6ay
all grabs mast be thrown out. Now,
> hurrah for that man! By all means
. give him your support, and then if
i he don't fulfill his premises, do him
like I'm doing Uncle George, and, by
the way, like Uncle George is doiDg
I me. Of course I would not call him
a fool like Uncle George virtually
called me, but give him something
warm. I must hold up on Uncie
George, because he hasn't been
treated fair. This has been an exi
ceBsively hot summer and from many
i quarters came evils reports to him
t- about the roads and thousands of
i other "fool questions."
I am not surprised at him for run[
ning over nor am I mad with him
. either. Any man or set of men who
i try to boss me will find that they are
, up agaiDat a brick. But, there I go
[ again. I just can't be serious all
[ the time. The down the country ne,
gro, when you insult him, will say to
you; "I knows youes poor, I knows
5 youse poor, but I can't help it." So,
. now I say to Uncle George, good bye.
I know you didn't do much but I
( couldn't help it.
Good rains have fallen hereabouts

Watermelons are beginning to be

name was Sbealy. She was married ,
to George Ballentine April 9, 1841, j
be having preceded her to the spirit I
land b'y the space o? 13 years. Their j
dependents were 10 children, four or J
whom are living; thirty-one graid- i
children, twenty-live of whom are
living: and seventeen great-grandchildren,
fourteen of them are living, i
She was a consistent and devoted ,

Humor Discredited.
London, July 29?A dispatch to
Rsuter's Telegram company from
Wei Hai Wei, dated today says:
"It is supposed here that Port
Arthur has been captured, as the
British fleet is returning here tomorrow."
Presumably this report is from
the same source as the dispatch from |
Shanghai reporting a Wei Hia Wei
rumor that Port Arthur has fallen.
The only basis for the report known
here is that when Russia no longer
occupies Port Arthur the British, by
the treaty, will evacuate Wei Hai
Wei, and the inference is that the
British fleet is returning to Wei Hai
Wei to remove the stores, etc., from
that place.
Not much credence is attached for
the moment to the Wei Hai Wei report,
though similar rumors are
flooding the continent.
