To the Editor of The Dispatch: Mrs. J. J. Black is on the sick list but is improving. Some small grain to sow yet. ? Mr. Andrew P. Amick is rebuilding on his place, where his house was burned some time ago. A marriage of much prominence was that of Miss Nannie Epting, the third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John J. Epting of the Macedonia section, and Mr. Backman Derrick of near Saluda. The happy event was solemnized at the home of the bride's parents on j Christmas day at 2 o'clock. After the ceremony a delightful supper was served to the many invited guests. Mrs. Derrick is 'a young woman of many accomplishments and has a host of friends who wish her well.

There are useful and useless gallons. Useful paint is lead-zinc-and-oil with dryer and color; useless paint is whiting, china-clay, ground stone, barytes, benzine, or water. This stuff is pnt-in, because it isi cheap, to stuff-out the paint, to make more gallons to sell; of course, the buyer doesn't suspect, or he wouldn't buy it. It costs as much to brush-on this useless stuff as lead-zinc-and-oil; but it looks like that and feels like that V. ' I in the brush; the painter doesn't suspect it. Besides, if the owner is willing, why should the painter object to painting two gallons for one? He is paid by the day; more gallons; more days,5 more money. Average paint at full price is about one-third this useless stuff; and average paint at $1.25 or fl.50 or $1.75 a gallon is two-thirds trash. Fool paint is the pft>ptfr name for all but pure paint; it is made to fool people witn. Knave paint is another good name; it is made, of course, by knaves. Sick paint is a name for an honest weak paint. They are all weak and all extravagant: too many gallons to buy and too many gallons to brush-on. Devoe is the standard. 4 < P. W. Devoe & Co. P. S.

Its rigid limbs composed in lines of regular; form, its body reposing upon the slab, quiet and motionless, its sweet little face, as on sleep?not a twitch, not a tremor, not a quiver?all placid, all .serene, all majesty of beauty, -clothed as its little frail, stiffened body in Wreaths of immortelles, its features' clothed in childish angelic smiles. There is the sad side yet to come? the grief-stricken parents deep in their souls weeping for the one that is not on times side, lamenting as none but a mother can, for the sweet prattle of her babe?lost in the cav ems of tne deep sleep tnat faiietn on her habe in its casket. Mr. and Mrs. Dar?y Drafts, whose little Ina was consigned to ijs last resting place in Pilgrim cemetery on Sunday, 5th instant, have the sympathy of the entire community in their bereavement. Rev. J.

Last Sunday aweek Miss Sallie Shannon, one of the most beautiful and highly respected young ladies of New Brookland and a teacher in the Lutheran Sunday School, disappeared from her home and has not been seen since, although every effort has been put forth by her distracted parents and friends to find her whereabouts. She left immediately after having quarreled with her sweetheart, to whom she was to have been .married in a very short time, and went toward the Congaree bridge. This was the last seen of her and it is believed by many that she committed suicide by jumping from the bridge into the turbulent waters below. Several theories have been suggested, but from the facts gathered the young lady has undoubtedly killed herself, and the probability is that she will never be seen again until the waters Shall have given up their dead. The young lady's mysterious disappearance has cast a gloom of sadness over the entire town. \ \ ? m M i Raleigh Votes Out Liquor. Raleigh, N. C., by a majority of 547 has voted out its liquor dispensary and became a prohibition city. In the city there were 928 votes | for prohibition, 381 for dispensary and j two for saloons. Tiie dispensary nas ! been in operation here for four years, i 24 saloons having been voted out in j favor of the dispensary. The sales have amounted to about $250,000 a year, with about $75,000 profit, this being placed to the credit of the school fund, the road fund and the city expense account. It reduced taxation, but the voters here believed that its influence was not for the city's best interest and voted it out. The election wis a quiet one. ,? ' Sow To Tell Good Pork. The greatest care should be. exercised in buying pork, whether fresh or salted, says The Delineator for January. Pork should be white and fine grained in the lean; the fat of a pinkish white and free from kernel* or specks, the skin thin and the bones small. When pork is stale ft is not fit to eat. ' Its quality and digestibility depend so entirely upon the feeding and the j keeping of the pig, that it should never be bought unless from seller* who can be relied npon. * 1 t ? ' i ALf i woiTOwy.
