Polite and Prompt Attention. Oe'ober I3tf & 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.

Best wishes to the Dispatch. - Jose 21,1905. Dodd H. vv; Sokes from Aronai Gilbert. 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. Mr. R L. Keisler has the best -. ? TAPP'S GREATER DEPART? y Th< V [ field of corn that we have eeen ia this | community. 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. I am your humble scribe, June 25,1905. Aytch. Priceville Items. | m_ xi tt< it tv i.l. t jlo me JiiUitur ox me jl/ispafcou: 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. June 24, 1905. That's Who.

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. Ballentine Splinters.

Shealy visited Mr. S. F. Shealy Sunday. 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.
