Gaston Gleanings.
I have been absent; from tfce columns
of the dear old Dispatch for
Bome time owing to my press of
business affairs as well as the heavy
Btrain on your columns for advertising
at this season of the year.
We are still alive and among the
living, eDjoyiog excellent health with
the rest of the Felix family. Camping
at bome and boarding at the
same place.
The cotton crop through here is
short. Most all gathered and sold,
for which ten cents wss realized.
* Some is being held for higher price
since the slump.
The Lexington Baptist Association,
which was held recently at Antiocb,
was one of the best in the history of

Bethlehem church near Bateeburg
on Friday, before the* second Sunday
in October, 1906.

the orange bloom.
Recently Silas Sturkie, realizing
it is not good for man to be alone,
eloped with Miss Belle Smith. G.

making them man and wife and they
went on their way rejoicing. May
happiness and prosperity attend
them.

today with a good attendance. Let

make it the best school in the county.
With Prof. J. Y. Smith and Mies
Rosa Belle Fallaw as teachers it can
be made one of the best.

John J. Smith, leave us. We miss
him. He is a good citizen and an
excellent man. He was at one time !
School Commissioner and also taught |
school. The writer is under lasting j
obligations to him as he was my j
tutor when learning mvt A. B. C'e. !
The old blacksmith shop is still

ladies' wearing apparel, tailor made
suits, dress and dry goods, millinery

the fashion marts- of the
world to stock his handsome and
elegant department stores with the
choicest products of the loom and
the artizans skill, for the benefit of
his numerous cnstomers who will
visit the city during the State Fair.
That he has succeeded in gathering
beneath his roofs one of the prettiest
displays of these goods ever seen in
South Carolina is evidenced by the
rich and beautiful lines that he is
now showing in these goods. There
are the best stocks in everything
found in a well appointed "department
s*ore and they sell every item
of wearing apparal for ladieB and
gentlemen as well as children in
these departments they cannot be
downed in stjle, quality or prices.
Every garment is well made, cut in
the height of the fashions and they
guarantee fit and texture. The
prices on Ladies suits range from
the low priced garment at $5 up to
the handsome French novelties at
$75. The cloak department is
chocked full of rare bargains and it
will repay a viBit to it. There is
another department which is second
to none south of Baltimore. The
fine dress hats are from the ablest
designers in Paris and New York
and with an able designer at the
head of their work room they are
bound to please both in style and
price The other departments are
full to overflowing with specialties
the like of which were never seen before.
When in Columbia. Lexington
people are invited to make Mimnaughs
their headquarters and take
a stroll through the store.

In Llemoriam.
It is with a sad heart we chronicle
the death of our dear aod beloved
young friend, Hattie Leila, wife of
Cleveland Smith. She was born

April o, ?ooa, auu uieu v^uiouer l?
1905
Sde leaves to mourn ber departure
a husband, father, mother, three
brothers and three sisters, besides a
large circle of relatives and friends.
She was a faithful member cf
Florence Baptist church, (Lexington
Association,) and remained true to
her Lord and Master until her spirit
took its everlasting flight to that
home prepared for all that love God.
Her death caused deep grief into the
hearts of every one in the community?
Hattie was one of those gentle
sweet unselfish natures who won love
and high respect from all who came
in contact with her. Always a warm
welcome and a sweet smile awaited
you on entering her home. No more
will we hear her tender voice or see
her sweet face, no more will the
hearts of her loved ones be cheered
by her sweet smiles and kind attentions.
She is gone, and the places
which knew her will know ber no
more forever, but we comfort ourr
selves by knowing that cur loss is
her eternal gain. Pastor.
