I To the Editor of The Dispatch: I wish through your valuable paper to call the attention of the patrons of the R. F. D. routes leading out from this place, to the condition of the roads. The government is doing us a great kindness by delivering our mail at our doors; then should we not show our appreciation by keeping up the roads? We boast of the progressiveness of our town and community, but when we find roads right here in sight of the town that cannot-be traveled, even with a two-wheel cart, we are of the opinion that ofrr progressive spirit is lacking. The roads we have reference to are Vftnt. nn"hv fvhft ftnnnfcv. hilt the patrons of the routes should keep them in firstclass order. \ ? Now we do not want to be personal, > but wejknow of one of the carriers who has been compelled to leave bis route and go fully a half mile farther on account of a washout and a tree across the road. This same piece of ropd has been in this condition for several weeks. , Now let us get together and work the roads. The R. F. D. boys will appreciate it and it wiH enable tbem to give us better service. : Swansea, Sept. 8. A FRIEND.

Mrs. Emiline Dickerson, of Irene, after spending some three weeks visiting relatives and friends, has returned. Well, Mr. Editor, I hardly know who feels prouder than J. G. Fallaw, the headmanager of the Reynolds and ^ Craft firm or that big hearted T. Hayne William's, of Irene. The former is the happy father of a big girl while the latter is rejoicing over the fact that it's a chip off the old block ana is nameanayne jno. z. D. E.

Everything 1 is neatly and conveniently arranged, r The quality of the different classes 1 of goods is elegant, the 9tyles were never more beautiful, and the prices i will surprise you. Lots of goods are l being sold cheaper than ever before known. They do business on the 1: basis of "Quic^ sales and small t Drofits." Give this fine house a call ( for your wants and you will not be disappointed.

C., X) spend with her her 76th birthJay. There are four children, twelve ^rand-children, and ten great grand3hildren. A table had been prepared in the shade beneath the giant oaks out in he yard. At the noon hour a bountiful dinner was spread upon this, to the enjoyment of all present. After linner an abundance of lemonade, ce cream, and other refreshments were served. The day was most pleasantly spent, and we believe none mjoyed it more than Mrs. Keisler, who, tho' feeble, seemed to forget aer oia age. One week later a similar event occurred at the home of Mr. Fred Keisler, a near neighbor of Mrs. Lizzie. "Uncle Fred," as he is familiarly called, is now in his 81st year. It had been planned to have this family reel nion last spring, but owing to siekaess in the family, it was postponed. Here too, a rich repast was served it the noon hour on a table erected in the grove near the spring for that purpose. This was followed by ice cream, lemonade, and other cold irinks served during the afternoon. Mr. Keisler has eight children, twenty-nine grand-children and three ?reat grand-children, together with two children by a second marriage. Having attended both these reunons, we could not help being impressed with the great service of these aged people to the community n which they live. They have both ceen blessed in raising families of aious, God-fearing children, who going forth have established other Christian homes. Thus their influence lives from one generation to the lext. May the few, feeble, declining years that remain to these aged people be llled with the peace, joy, and comort of their Savior whom they have ierved these many years! ONE PRESENT. Gilbert, R. F. D.

Now new cotton is -being sold every day. Mr. James VV. Roof was awarded the contract of replacing the dam of Mr. James C. Fort, which was recently washed out. The work is progressing nicely under the supervision of Mr. Roof and is nearing completion. The store building of Mr. D. F. I Shumpert was struck by a bolt of lightning on the 14th of last month, and was slightly damaged. There was no one in the store when it was struck, consequently no one was hurt. A number of the folks took advantage of the excursion August 31st and j went to Savannah. The party consisted of a number of the young people and several of the older ones. They report a dull time. Mr. J. ,0. B. Lucas, of Columbia, has been visiting relatives in these parts. Mr. James E. Smith, of Golumbia, and Mr. S. R. Smith, of Wagener, have been visiting their mother, Mrs. C. E.

To the Editor of The Dispateh: The nights are pleasant, but the days are real warm. Cotton is opening rapidly and is bringing a good price here. , Gilbert is on the boom and expects to keep it up. Rev. Kyzer has recently moved to town and is now ably assisting Rev. Hall in a protracted meeting at the Baptist church. The many friends of ; Rev. Kyzer welcome his return. A pump has been driven in the street at the Lutheran church to the depth of 125 feet. Gentle breezes i whisper to put a wind-mill and tank to this pump and lay piping over the ' town for water in case of fire or otherwise. The elevation is such that j water could be thrown on any house in town. School will open on Monday, the ! 16th. It was hoped that a school building would have been erected by I the time of opening, so as to accom- j modate all those desiring to patron- j ize this institution, but many will have to be turned away for want of i room. Under the skillful treatment of Dr. | Oxner the sick list ha9 been de- ; creased. We note Mr. R. L. Keisler, j Mrs. Ballentine and Mrs. Kyzer. The election is on for to-day.
