To the Editor of the Dispatch: The health in this community is very good at this time. I think the peaches will all drop off. We may have some plums left, and the old reliable blackberry is with us in abundance. Plenty of rain these days and the farmers are very busy with General Green. The plowman is steadily plodding his weary way early and late. Corn is over knee high and cotton is beiDg put to a stand, and generally speaking it looks very sorry. Boys, why don't you marry? why live at home? have you no gal? have you no home? Mr. Sherman Lucas is one of the happiest men down this way, and he laughs so his mouth reaches from ear to ear, just because it's a farmer boy, while Mr. John Jefcoat has been on the house tops because there is twins at his bouse, and it will now take two strikes with the hammer and plane to one heretofore. Mr. W. B. Dunbar has too joined the band of rejoicing and is singing that popular song, "Baby Mine." Mr. Sidney Lewis now conducts prayer services at Smith Branch Sunday school. These parts have lately been alive with agents selling all kind of things. Rev. Daniel P. Shumpert will preach at Smith Branch on the 4th Sunday in May at 11 a. m. - * ii i The small gram crop 1 don't mm* will be much in this section. It is time for bees to swarml these hot days.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: We are having warm weather, an abundance of rain and plenty of Gen. Green. We hear much complaint among the farmers about poor stands of cotton. Some are plowing up and planting over. It would be a good idea should they plant corn instead. Tho rflr?#5nt. rains have helned the oat crop wonderfully, wheat is very good, but not as good as last year. The volume of mail handled on our RFD continues to increase and we hope to make it one of the best in the county. Mr. C. C. Craft has returned to his post of duty at Washington. Our young widower has had chimneys put to his new dwelling and kitchen and now the next will be a pretty bird to make glad his heart in that new cage. Mrs. W. N.

The closing exercises of the Athen's graded school which took place the 12th instant, were of a high order and largely attended. The students who took part showed care, training and thorough preparation in their declamations, songs and drills. One of the best features of the occasion was the alphabet drill by the little tots of the primary department, in which all did well and little Bertha acted well her part. Hon. A. F. Lever was present and gave the audience a rich feast of good things in his literary address which all enjoyed. Prof. Smith and Miss Harman taught a good school and we hope when next session opens in the fall they may again be at their post of duty. Messrs. J. H. Price and J. P. Goodwin, who have been engaged in the turpentine business in the Dutch Fork section, have sold out to the McGill Bro?., and purchased the mercantile business of P. E. Hutto at this place. They will continue the business here with C. H. Hartley as head clerk. Mrs. R G Able, of Stead man, visited her sister, Mr. J V. Smith, and took in the entertainment at Athens. Scott Ciippard and H.

Mass. ^ {Thick Hairj Nev County Talk. To the Editor of the Dispatch: I am near the line of the new county, but I am in that part they want to cut from Lexington to make the new county. Some of the men that were driving about trying to get signers got out in the old field and run over big bushes. They will tell you it won't cost you but two cent taxes. They will fairly sing a song to you. Ah,' but my friends, you know well what you will do for it on the election day. I know you do not at all want to be cut off from our grand old Lexington. Some, or moat of you, were born here. Do you not love it, and by no means want to be cut off? As a matter of fact, I as well as you, never saw a cow wear a bell without a collar. The bell is the court house and the collar will be us. They will have you belled and collared and will drive you as they please. So now you are at rest in old Lexington, do not let them drag you across the devil's creek. They will make you faithful promises, but will not fill them until they can fill them with your monev. When a bov marries and is * m i worth something be can live, so is k a man in a new county, if he is rich , he can do all right. , I am in favor of them having one mile square and no more. I know , that they will get no more. I can not understand why some people in ; Lexington county is in favor of it. , As a matter of fact there are some i people that are some distance from Lexington, but they are like me, ? they hardly ever have any business . there and when they serve as a juror r they can go by rail if they like and i they will get mileage enough to pay i expenses. There is no pay in staying so close to a court house. > Good by, new county, got to go - to bed. B. F. B.
