' Salesd&y.
Monday was salesday, and the
crowd that was in attendance shows
conclusively that these sales grow hi
interest with each succeeding year.
However, the bids were lacking of
the- usual spiritedness. There was
not a great deal of property on the
docket and it did not take long to
close the deals.
The following property was sold by
I the clerk of conrt Saml. u. ueorge:

Mrs. Rosaline St:udenmire.
All Lexington was shocked and
grieved on Thursday when it was i
iearned that Mrs. Rosaline Shuler '
Stoudenmire had died suddenly at <
her home near Cameron, Orange- '
burg county, on Wednesday night. ]
Many would not believe it?they 1
could not believe itr?for it was only a
year ago that she left her parents
home a beautiful and happy bride. 1
Mrs. Stoudenmire was the eldest
laughter of Dr. and Mrs. J. L. Shuler
of Selwood. For two years she
taught in the Palmetto Collegiate in- i
>titute in this place, and by her lova- ]
ble and sweet disposition, she enleared
herself to all. The children i
worshipped her and to them her
ieath was a distinct blow. i
Her remains were brought to Selwood
on Thursday and interred in the i
churchyard at St. Michael's Lutheran
church in the presence of a large
congregation of sorrowing relatives
and friends. The funeral servicees i
were conducted from the chur ;h by ,
her pastor, the Rev. Mr. Kline, who
joined her in holy wedlock.
The deepest sympathy of the entire
community goes out to the bereaved
ones in this, their hour of supreme
sorrow.
Offiosrs Take Charge.
Yesterday the new county officers
took charge of their respective offices.
The old officers turned over their
books and other paraphernalia in good
shape, without exception.
County Treasurer Frank W. Shealy
succeeds Samuel B. Geoi'ge as clerk
of the court. Mr. George leaves the
office in fine shape. He had been in
the clerk's office continuously for 16
years; first as deputy under H. A,
Spann's administration and eight
years as clerk. He has made a very
efficient clerk, one of the best in the
State and has made many improvements
in the office.
Mr. Shealy turned over his office
to Mr. E. L. Wingard, who served
in this capacity during 1897 and 1898.
Mr. Shealy leaves this office much to
the regret of his many friends. He
has made one of the best treasurers
the county has ever known and he
will make a most excellent clerk. Mr.
Wingard is known to all the people
and that he will serve his office well,
no one doubts.
Superintendent of Education J. E.
B. Kyzer goes cut and Mr. A. D.
Martin succeeds him. Mr. Kyzer has
served the county well for several
terms and did not stand for re-election.
Mr. Martin is a young lawyer
of ability. He is a graduate of the
University of South Carolina and has
had some practical experience in the
school room. Education will not be
overlooked in his hands.
Sheriff Corley and Auditor Dent
will remain in their offices unmolested.
Neither had opposition in the
last primary, which is alnple proof of
A. i . . no _ i. t_
tneir emcient wora.
The county board of commissioners
will change hands tomorrow?the old
going out and the new going in. Of
this change we will have something
to say in our next issue.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
Among the delightful parties of last
week was given on Wednesday evening
by Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Wise at
their beautiful home in honor of their
sister. Miss Lillie Wise, of St. Matth- ;
ews, and Miss Vivian Utley, of Marion.
The evening was most enjoyably
spent and delicious refreshments
were served.
A beautiful event of the holiday festivities
was the informal reception
given by Dr. and Mrs. D. R. Kneece
to the young people. The rooms

Mrs. E. B. Utley, of Marion, with

The Doctors Meet.
The County Medical Society held
its first quarterly meeting for tb?"^
pear Monday, with a fair attendance
of the members and visitors. Professional
subjects mainly were discussed,
more interesting to the profession
than the general public. Dr. D. M.
Crosson was elected delegate to the
meeting of the State Medical Association
in April, at Summerville. Drs.
L. B. Etheredge, Leesville, John R.
Langford, Swansea, and J. W. Eargle,
Peak, were appointed on the legislative
committee for the society?all
live wires in the profession.
A resolution wa9 passed requesting
our delegation in the State Legislature
soon to meet, to use their best
efforts in effecting some means to
prevent the indiscriminate spitting
upon the floors and walls of railway
passenger trains, public halls,'"'etc., a
measure that means much to sanitation
and our health, and we hope to
see much good result from such hy- j
gienic measures, and hope to see such
means established that do prohibit
this great evil.
Billy Felis's Letter.
To the Editor of The Dispatch:
Happy new year's greeting to you,
one and all!
The old year, with its successes and
failures, with its sorrows and enjoy
ments, with all of her achievements
and progressiveness, has gone and
the new has dawned, bright and beautiful,
upon us. May our failures in
the'past be but stepping-stones to
success in the future.
Henry Hughes, one of the best
farmers in the Sandam section, in
company with his estimable wife,
spent the Yuletide with W. B. Fallaw
and family.
The little folk were made happy
and everybody seemed to have a good
time Christmas.
There was a beautiful marriage at
the pleasant home of Mrs. M. H.
Fallaw on the 27th ult. Buel Boone,
a Dngnt, promising young man, wis
married to Miss Florence Fallaw, the
ceremony being performed by W. B.
Fallaw. A bountiful wedding dinner
hid been spread and all did full justice
to the occasion. Happy congratulations
to the newly wedded couple.
E. 0. Fallaw spent Christmas with
the home folk and had a good time.
Mr. Editor, you ought to have been
with the carrier on some of his trips
daring Christmas week. The signal
was displayed on many of the boxes,
but no mail in 'em. But my! my!
what a feast of good things greeting
the eye and tempting the appetite.
There were so many I can't mention
'em all, but must say that Mrs. J. V.
Smith and mother know how to treat
a poor carrier. These tokens of kind
remembrance are certainly highly appreciated.
The Faliaw brothers, of Batesburg,
in company with Bill Kneece, spent a
week here during Christmas. They
have returned, but their hearts,
well, they are with the "girl I left
behind."
Miss Maggie Lee Harsey, stenographer
for J. C. Seegers, of Columbia
was here-for Christmas.
Mrs. R. J. Fallaw and H. M. Mar
tin and wife paid a vi9it to Mrs. J.
M. Kneece at Batesburg recently.
The New Year Christmas tree by
the Sunday school at Ga9ton on Friday
night was a success and much enjoyed.
The large crowd was highly
entertained with speeches by Hons.
John Bell Towill and W. H. Sharpe.
Fire was discovered in the roof of
the dwelling and store occupied by
C. H. Hartley last Saturday and by
prompt work of the bucket brigade
the flames were soon extinguished.
J. E. Goodwin, of Alabama, spent
thejholidaya with relatives and friends
here.
Mr. W. D. Pound, who ha9 been
sick with measles, is able to be out
again.
D. E. Hammond, of Gilbert, has
been aeen in these parts quite frequently
of late.
Through the persistent efforts of
Mrs. C. S. Goodwin S. J. Kiddle was
the recipient o:' a handsome sui: of
clothes at the i.ew }ear Christmas
tree.

At The Lyric.
The people of Columbia are blessed
with good attractions. Tnere is no
excuse about having to stay at home
because you have no where to go.
The Lyric theatre, which has been in
operation for many months, affords an
excellent program every afternoon
and night. The attractions at this
play house are clean and up-to-date.
There is not a performance but that
is of the highest character. The
crowds that flock to this popular
place of amusement every night speak
in the highest praise of the management
and of the excellency of the
programs. This week there is an excel- I
lent program on the bill and if any of
our readers should happen to be in the
city and fail to visit the Lyric while
there they will have missed half of
their life. The price of admission is
only one dime-ten cents.
