Hie name ie Die* 1 patch from the good old Palmetto State, where my father, mother, brothers and sisters are all at rest, and in reediDg over the Diepatch I see so maDy names that I knew when I was a boy and some of them were my school boys. It causes my mind to run back and think over my boyhood days until it brings tears to my eyes, and when I think of mother who crossed the dark rolling river when I was quite a boy, Oh, how sad I feel! Mr. Editor, I could not do without the Dispatch. My son-in-law sends it to me. Arkansas is a line country. We have a Democratic State and a fine man for Governor. He is filling hia third term. Hi3 name is Jeff Davis. We have plenty of schools and churches. We have a nice little town in this county. It is the county site of Grant county and has one railroad through it. There is one stove factory, one canning factory, one saw mill, grist mill, shingle mill and gin combined. It is a good healthy place, with good water and good people to live with. Any man on the lookout for s locality to locate and do business will find that this is the very place he has been looking for. Come and see. Mr. Editor, I would like to hear from some of the old Confederate boys. Tell them to write to me as I would be ever so proud to receive a letter from them. I would like to come back to dear old Lexington one time more before I answer the last ?it __n run can. Well, I will close by saying that if this don't find its way to tbe waste basket I will believe that tbe Dispatch has not got one. Success to tbe Dispatch and its many readers. God bless you all. G.

Saved about $80.00 and also get a big donation of L. & M. Dealers gladly fell L. & M., because their customers call for it, and say they used it 12, 14 and even 30 years 8go. Don't pay $1.50 a gallon for linseed oil, which vcu do in ready-for-use paint. Buy oil fresh from the barrel at 60 cents per gallon, and mix it with L. & M. paint, It makes paint cost about SI.20 per gallon. Sold by W. P. Roof. Fertilizer Receipts.

We couid not get aloDg without him.While the agricultural class composes one-half of the total population, the record shows that odIj two per cent of the crime is committed by the man who makes bis daily bread by the sweat of his brow in the field. In the South and West the farmers were demied educational advaatages in their youth, and while their language may be rough their hearts are in the right place. And they have more hard, horse sense than their brothers who attempt to make merry at their expense. As a class, they are law abiding, far more so than any other element considering their number, and that is proved by the statistics which cannot be disputed. They suffer much. The profit which comes from their labor may be swept away in the night, but they struggle od, never losing faith, and year after year they do their utmost to make ends meet, so as to provide comfort and sustenance for their flock. True Blue Blood Sentiment. Philadelphia's much talked of filtration system, which has lately been set to work after years of labor and immense expenditure, does not seem to have quite filled the bill, says an exchange. The city's drinking water Btill shows rather too ready a tendency to run coffee brown from the faucet. The other morning a gentleman breakfasting at the Bellevue had a m V\l A* r\n f V\ 1 m on/1 DUVsU d IIUUJL/iDl ^Ull h/CAWlo UlLUj uuu objected. The waiter admitted it looked pretty bad, but assured the doubting traveler that really it was good water. Then said the latter: "Bat I hear the water that runs to this part of the city passes through Laurel Hill cemetery on the way here. Is that so "Yes, sir," came the reply, 'but you must remember that its a firstclass graveyard?only the very best people are buried there." Cleared For Action. When the body is cleared for action, by Dr. King's New Life Pills, you can tell it by the bloom of health on the cheeks; the brightness of the eyes; the firmness of the flesh and muscles; the buoyancy of the mind.

Sam was the colored gentleman's name, and his errand to the bank of the town near which he lived was to borrow $10 to move his crop. The teller has referred him to the cashier and the cashier to the president himself, and that official had smilingly agreed that the agricultural good of the land needed such help, and that Sam should certainly have his money. A note was drawn forthwith, but when the discount clerk got through with it the farmer received just $7 50. As he walked up the street trying to figure things out, a white neighbor met him. "Hello, Sam," said he; "what's wrong?" "Nuffin' tall, sir," said Sam. "Ob, come, now; there surely is. You look as if you'd lost a friend What is it?" "Well. boss, hit's dis. I iest bin down to de bank fer a bit o' money to move de crap, an1 Mister Hall he done say he'd loan me ?10 fer a month. Den he charge me $2 50 for bit, an' I jee' reach de 'elusion dat if I'd a' asked fer dat $10 fer fo' mcnths I would ha' got nuffin."?Ex.

Since the Rural Free Delivery has changed things somewhat, there are 1- i 1 i. lU. 1 ? many new ruiiugs mat lu? jjeupic who receive mail must acquaint themselves with.

This applies to all publications. Where one gets mail from the posi office he has only to refuse to take from the office such papers as he does not want. Terrific Race With Death. "Death was fast approaching," writes Ralph F. Fernandez, of Tampa, Fla.. desribing bis fearful race with death, "as ? ,ult of liver trouble aud heart disease, which had robbed me of sleep and of al! interest in life. I had tried many different doctors and several medicines, bat got no benefit, until I began to use Electric Bitters.
