The subscription price of the Dispatch is $ 1 a year; 50 cents for six months; 25 cents for tliree months?invariably cash in advance. Wednesday, May 3, 1905. Our luck on our fishing trip last week was not like that of the fabled "fisherman's luck", as we had a very successful catch? sufficiently large to satisfy our enormous appetite for fish fiesh for the time being and enough left for each to bring a good mess to the folks at home. The weather was very unfavorable to folly enjoy the fascinating sport otherwise our catch would have been very much larger, as it was, however, we were satisfied. While we were at the pond making ready to come ' home, we had the pleasure of meeting a party of friends from Leesville, who proudly were the honor of being champion fishermen from away back. We left them in full possession of the fishing grounds and the way Messrs. Hillard and Jim Bouknight were landing mollies, trout and jack was enough to make the sainted remains of Sir Isack Walton turn over and laugh for joy; and there was Dr. E. J. Etheredge, too, the intrepid expert fisherman who always spits on his bait before making a cast, the consequence being an immense catch of the finny tribe. The last, but by no means the least, of the party was Mr. C. D. Barr, who has the reputation of mak near where the patients are. Gee. Fitzhugh Lee was stricken with a fatal attack of apoplexy while en ronte for Washington last Friday. He was taken from the train in a dying condition and removed to a Washington hospital, but all that tender hands could do and loving hearts suggest to give him relief availed not and the end soon came after his arrival there. Senator and Mrs. B. R. Tillman have gone to Atlanta where they both will remain for two weeks under medical treatment from specialists in that city. Rojestvensky's squadron is still coquetting in French waters. The latest reports say that the fleet is lying off Port Dagal, forty miles north of Kamranh bay, waiting for the Japs to get out of sight. For the fourth time Caleb Powers will be put on trial for his life at Georgetown, Ky., next Monday for the murder of Governor Goebel, of Kentucky. ing the fishes to fall over each other in their haste toi "bite at his bait." Bat anyhow, we are satisfied they had a very profitable and enjoyable outing and returned to their homes feeling that it was good for them to have been there. The following menu for the first day of the Leesville party was handed us for publication by one of the boys: 1 Peck Meal, 1 pound Coffee. Salt, oc. 1 quart'Corn. Sugar, 25c. Eggs, 10 dozen. 1 qt. Rye. Lard, 1 bucket 1 jug Snake Bite. 1 Frying Pan. 2 gallon Taylor's Choice. Tin Cups and Spoons. 2 Tin Pans. 1 gross Good Fish Stories. Bbots.s Bromo Seltzer. Headache Tablets In the sections that we passed through we noticed that the farms looked well and the farmers were well up with their work, the unfavorable season and the late spring considered. There will be but little if any reduction in the cotton acreage. Wild and senseless rumors have Kpon r?irr?n1fttnd ro<?aiv3ir?<y fbfl small pox situation in this place. The facts are that the Board of Health has the situation well in hand and have nearly succeeded in having the disease stamped out. A system of strict quarantine is maintained and with one exception no new case has developed. At no time has the disease become epidemic, and all the cases can be directly traced to the place where the disease was first developed. The people from the country need have no fears of catching the contagion by coming to Lexington as there is no danger whatever in doing so, as the disease is located and no one is allowed to go III H I IUI????? ??JtliJUUIIll mmn ra Our Gaston Letter. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Since our last there came a sighing of the wind, which chilled things to such an extent that Jack Frost had an easy task putting on the finishing touches; as a result vegetation and fruit were killed out right; still there are some fruit in high places. Mr. Burt Fallaw in company with his charming daughter, Miss Edna, was in attendance upon the Union meeting recently held at Sandy Run and were the guests of W.B. Fallaw. Burt is one of Sand Dam's best farmers and is a clever good fellow. The small grain was damaged some by the recent cold. Many lovely and sweet scented flowers on the R. F. D. have been coming this way from the pretty girls on the route, all for which we are thankful, dear girls, and we sincerely hope that your pathway through life may be strewn with bright hopes and the realization of true happiness.

The Union meeting at this place wa8 largely attended by an apprciative audience and a greatful people. The next meeting will be held with the Harmony church, a program of which will appear in due time. Postmaster W. A. Goodwin has tendered his resignation to the Department and C H. Hartley has been recommended for the place. There is good territory for two more B. F. D. routes from this place . and we hope ere long they may be put into effect. They would give , mail facilities to a great many people who are now put to much inconvenience to get their mail. A little | 1 pluck and push, coupled with grit and energy, oiled with will power, will put the machinery in operation. Generally speaking the health of our community including the devoted 1 Felix family, is normal. Mr. L. W. Wise and good lady of Pelion, and Mr. J. W. Raeder in company with J. P. Lucas paid our 1 habitual a brief visit recently. They c are clever, sociable, gentleman r. and we are always glad to be in their ] pleasant company.
