The year just oloeed has been, perhaps, the most prosperous io the history of the South. On every hand are seen the evidences of great prosperity,and it is of the kind that helps all classes and condition. The basis of our Southern wealth and prosperity is the farm, and the Southern farm, especially the South Carolina farm, during the last twelve months has yielded an abundant harvest. The harvest has not been so big, but the price has b4en so good. We are living in an era of high prices and that has always meant general pros perity. South Uarolina Has Deen particularly blessed in the fact that sbe has been able to raise a large erop of cotton and we will not suffer from the low prices consequent to oTer production. Money has never been more plentiful. The banker, merchant and professional man. all are shariog with the farmer bis prosperity. Tbey are all independent in a manner, and neither can be blessed without sharing with the other to some extent. Our people have never ip? been happier. There has never been so little complaining. The grumble has no placs in the picture. The * ? j- - ?1?- _# < calamity DOWier IB a reuo 01 iour I cent cotton. We pity the poor devil who thick* be is passing through a period of hard times. Women say to him?wake up, look around you r and go to work, seizin# tbe opportunities tbat lie around you.* . Lexington county is well to the front in tbia procession of prosperity. Oar people have made good crops and gotten high prices for them. We :P; face the pew year filled with enthusiasm and confidence. Tbe wheel has been started, and every one is I" contributing his energy and intelligence to move it forward. The year before us promises even brighter and better things, more prosperity, mors money, more happiness than the one just closed, and tbe Dispatch wishes to assure its friends of its best wisbes and promises to them a publication wkinh will hour nn its fsftft th? stsmn of tbe progress seen everywhere; Gen. Wilis Jones, for thirty-six years connected with, tbe Carolina National Bank and for thirty-three years its able, accommodating and efficient cashier, has just been elected president of the Palmetto Bank and Trnst Company, to succeed Wm. H I Lyes. This new position will give a cinch wider field for tbe exercise of Gen. Jones' talents as,a business man and successful fi cancer. * P. H. Meigban pneceeds Gen Jone? at the Carolina National Bank, f, and J. Pope Matthews of this county is the cashier of the Palmetto Bank and Trust Company. Lexington people will find at both these banks accommodating and cleaver men, wbo have always, been friendly to oar people. We coogratalate Gen. Jones botb upon his promotion and upon tbe very complimentary resolution passed jK by tbe Board of Directors of tbe Carolina National Bank upon his retirement. We note that Mayor Roddey, of Book Hill, is putting tbe extreme limit of the law upon those who are convicted in bis court for selling liquor. We congratulate you, Mr. Boddey! Would that we had more of such officers. B&lleatiae Chips. The health of our community is IS- excellent at present. T ti a i > AflO&B was wen enjoyeu uj some of our young folks. Mr. and Mrs. P. B.

The exercises at the ^ Lutheran Xuas tree were held in Boot's Ball on last Thursday eight before a large and orderly audience. The stage was beautifully decorated and the large tree, flanked on either side by a large ornamental tree, was filled with pretty things for the expectant little tote, upon whose fact s a radiant happiness shone. Bav. Graicben opened the exer cises in a fervent aod most appropriate prayer. In the absence of the appointed speaker for the occasion, Prof. S. J. Derrick, of Newberry College, was called upon and responded in a most delightful talk to the children, impressing upon them the significance of Xcnas and the part played by old Santa Claus. He told the children in terms, simple bat eloquent, that it was more bleBSed to give than to receive. His short talk was much er j iyed by all present. After this address the presents were distributed and all the little hearts were made happy. Supt. J ? Hendrix, who has had the care of the children of this cbnrch for twenty years, then made some happy remarks, after which by a rising vote be was unanimously reelected to the superintendency of the school for the coming year. It was a very happy occasion and will linger long in memory. Shady Grove Items. We have had a very pleasant Christmas this year.
