Ijop Epting. in passing through town to New JJrookland Tuesday afternoon, where he will reside for some time, dropped in to see us. "Lep" is one of the true blue Confederates and interesting to converse with?unfortunate though losing an arm in the war. Mr. and Mrs. <>. M. Harman shared the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Melton at their home in Shandon Annex, and their delightful car rides over the city, fair week. Mr. S. P. Shumpert, on Berry Creek, one of the oldest and promptest paying subscribers to The Dispatch-News was in town today and made us his usual pleasant call.

Boss Meetze, one of the good farmers of Richland county, living' near Ballentine, was in Lexington Wednesday and paid a pleasant call at The Dispatch-News. Mr. Meetze, though living in that part of the Fork which was transferred to Richland, still maintains a lively interest in.his old county and keeps up with it through The Dispatch-News. . COUNTY FAIR PREMIUMS ARE NOW READY. As will be seen by a notice published elsewhere premiums won at the recent '7 county fair are now ready and will be paid out by the treasurer, Mr. W. D. Dent. v This was the first fair under the new president, Mr. G. B. Wingard, and except from the point of attendance it was the best ever held by the county fair society. Mr. Wingard was elected president last February, at a meeting of the fair association, a fact which escaped the vigilance of The Dispatch-News man. He has, made -a fine success of the fair, so far as exhibits are concerned, and had it not been for the general depression existing at this time the crowds would undoubtedly have been much larger. However, the'association is able to meet all demands and winners of premiums can get their money promptly by applying to Mr. Dent. Jas. Watson Says, "I'll Never Forget When Father's Hogs Got Cholera." "One morning he found 20 hogs dead and several sick. He called in the Vet. who after dissecting a rat caught on the premises, decided that the rodents had conveyed germs. Since Jien I am never without RATSNAP. It's the surest, quickest rat destroyer I know." Three sizes, 3oc, 65c, $1.25. Sold and guaranteed by Lexington Pharmacy and Harmon Drug Co. NOTICE OF ELECTION.

"Black Eyes", I and a great many other I"s during | the winter months. Some are nfl instructing the young, while others are off receiving instructions. God bless them all, for we can see in all of those "Eyes" the motherhood of our future generation, upon which hangs the world's enternal welfare. The recent long dry spell has been broken by refreshing showers, which will be very beneficial to fall gardens, turnips, etc. Farmers, generalv are done gathering, and ar^ rapidly preparing to sow j tneir smaii grain, ine indications are I now that the acreage will be very large this fall in this immediate vicinity .
