Notes from Tezas. |
To tbe Editor of the Dispatch:
We are very dry out here and if it
don't soon rain the corn crops will be
short. Cotton is looking very well.
Hay ontting is now the order of
the day and the .mowers can be seen
running all over the Prarie. There
is a number of Poland folks that do
the moat of the hay gathering for
farmers and themselves. They don't
> mind the beat at all. All they want
in the dollar that has the easle on it.
The community was saddened by
the death of Mrs. Thomson, mother in
Iareal of seventy years, on the 18ch.
^ W. D. Harm an went to Navasota
Thursday on business and returned
Friday.
Mr. and Mrs. B. B. Hendrix of
Navasota, visited relatives and friends
at this place last week. We wish
them to come again.
Mr. Oscar Headrix of Navasota,
who went to Abilene, Texas, for his
health, has returned to his home and
sorry to say that he is not much improved.
The base ball boys<bf Boans Prarie
are getting up to the bat o. k.
Mr. Garroi Hendrix of Huntsville,
Texas, went to Abilene not long since
and reports ft a healthy place.
Best wishes to the Dispatch.

To ths Editor of the Dispatch:
As I see nothing from these parts
in yonr valuable paper and suppose
Klondike is busy serving Uncle Sam
^ as a 15. F. D. carrier and devoting
his spare time to other matters, yon
will accept these few notes for publication.
The health of the community is op
to the average at this time, notwithstanding
the fact there has been a
great deal of sickness in this community
recently. There is one of
the beet openings at Gilbert for a
good doctor of any place in Lexington
county. Any physician seeking
a good location wonld do well to seek
this territory.
Crops are suffering very much, at
i * this time for want of rain. The corn
and cotton crops are far below an
./* average, as far as I have seen this
season; the email grain is almost a
total failure.
The barbecue at J. Frye's on the
24th was largely attend. Hons. John
Bell Towill and ex-Ssnator W. H.
Sharpe and Bev. J. E. Strickland
were present. Hons. Towill and
Sharpe made fine speeches and were
well received. It seemed there was
a political bee abuzzing in their bonnets,
but more of this later. Bev.
Mr. Strickland closed with a very
- interesting address, w.hich w&3 also
well received.
We are sorry to announce that Mr.
Samuel Smith is quite sick at this
time but hope for his speedy recovery.
Mr. Noah o. Croat s new residence
is Bearing completon.

Oar section foreman, Mr. Graham,
who sustained some severe injuries
on the Southern railway at the Hayes
station several weeks since, has improved
so as to be able to take charge
of his section again. Our depot
agent, Mr. Beeves, has been transfered
from Gilbert tc Wegener.
Ioor Hayes, a well known and experienced
builder and contractor, has
secured tb6 contracts for several
handsome cottage houses in New
Brookland, and will commence the
work at an early date.
We are sorry to chronicle the
death of Mr. B. B. Shull, which occurred
at bis home, near Shiloh
church, on the night of the 24th
instant. The interment was at
Shiloh Methodist church, today in
the presence of a large congregation
of sorrowing relatives and friends.
He leaves to mourn bis departure a
wife, four sons and four daughters,
besides a number of grand and great
grandchildren and a host of relatives
and friends. He was a brave exConfederate
and served nearly all
through the civil war. One by one
the boys who wore the grey are
crossing the river of time to rest
under the shade of the trees in the
great beyond, from whence no travler
returns. The bereaved family
have the heartfelt sympathy of the
whole community in this the sad
hour of their sore bereavement.

We were visited by a nice shower
last Sunday, but it is far spent and
we are again very dry. Crops are
suffering intensely fpr water.
The grain crop made a poor turn
out generally throughout this section.
Measles, we think, are nearly
abated, but sickness of more severe
nature has taken their stead.
The son of Mr. Noah Steele, who
resides in the Hollow Creek section,
is critically ill with typhoid fever.
Mr. Cary A. Snelgrove and sister,
Mrs. Sam Price, of Brook, are at the
home of their father sick with typhoid
fever. We have been informed
of the former's slight improvement.
Mrs. J. Moses Taylor has a somewhat
severe a tack of typhoid fever,
but is convalescent.
Lottie, little daughter of Mr. D. F.
Price, unfortunately ran a large
splinter in her foot last week. The
wound was intensely painful for the
child and Dr. Price found it necessary
to use stupefying drugs while
operating to extract it. Little Lottie
is now doing nicely.
Mr. Rufus B. Koon, of Lenoir
College, I^kory, N. 0, was in this
vicinity last week.
The Price & Nichols cue was a
success, and we think all that attended
enjoyed the day.

A NICE PRESENT GIV!
Peak R. F. D. No. 1 Notes.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Mr. Editor, Uacle Billy thinks he
has got the most accommodating
people of any other carrier. I think
my people are better to me than
Uncle Billy's for they have my buggy
loaded most every day. I receive all
kind of good things to eat and some
to take home.
We are under many obligations to
Mr. H- H. Counts and family for a
box of fine peaches. Uncle Billy,
they were the kind that make your
mouth water when it is dry and hot
about noon.
I don't see but one advantage that
Uncle Billy has over me and that is
he gets more melons down there in
the sand hills than I get, though I
have so many other good things that
he doesn't get, such as ice creamand
cake and everything that is good for
man or beast, that I think I am about
even with him or a little bit ahead.
A good rain would be nice at present.
Gee! How hot and dry!
Mrs. T. E. Addy has been confined
to her bed for several weeks with
continued fever, but is improving at
this writing.
Mr. Gregory, one of Mr. W. H.
Suber's good and accommodating
clerks of this place, is in bed with
fever.
Well, Mr. Editor, I will not send
any more this time, I just wanted
Uncle Billy to know I got peaches
and cream as well as he did. That's
right, Uocle Billy, make the beys
tell it for I believe they all get nice
things to eat.
With best wishes,
R F. D. No. 1.

Mr. J. W. Shealy visited Mr. S. F.

There will be preaching and Holy
Communion at High Hill church
next Sunday, July the 2od. We
hope there will be a large crowd
present from far and near. The
services will be conducted by Prof.
BowerB, of Newberry College.
In the distance of about ten miles
there are ten Lutheran churches
with their doors closed. Our good
pastors must have thought that our
community is "awful" good. But
one good blessing the people will
not have the blame to bear, for it is
not their will for their churches to
be so closed.
