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. Pelioa Social ITows. 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 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.

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. f ILLAR IN HAND f as much as one in the bank.
