The Herald has just completed
printing the town ordinances of Little

book contains 16 pages and embraces
many excellent town laws. The
town council is composed of W. E.
Bowen, Mayor; Rufus Edwards, A.
Schafer, G. W. Leach and C. E.;
Powell, wardens, with E. P. Mobley
as clerk and treasurer. They are all
well known and substantial business
men, and the town of Little
Rock should be well governed during
their administration.
Those of our subscribers who receive
notices this week showing
that their subscription has expired
will please send in their renewals
promptly. Postage at The Herald
office is quite an expensive item,
.ind we cannot afford to send out
more than one notice to each subscriber.
When we do not hear from
l a subscriber we take it as an indication
that they wish the paper dis'
continued and if you fail to receive (
your paper after this week it will be
because you did not reply to our
. l9lter and we had reason to believe
r that you did not want the paper any
longer.
Weather conditions have be- ,
comj alarming. The long drouth
continues jnbroken and the weathei

'Phe oat crop is a failure and cotI
t t
ti...
ton is suffering badly. Very few
farmers have a stand, aud about
one third of the crop in Dillon
county is still in the ground. It is
reported that flowing wells in the
southern part of the county have
gone dry and the people are forced
, send their clothes 6 and 7 miles
to have them washed. Reedy Creek
is its dry as a desert, Buck Swamp
is merely a serits of mud holes and
the two l'ee Dees are nothing mo;cthati
shallow creeks. If rain does
not come within the next 13 days
old farmers say that a crop will be
impossible. As it is, the crop will
be very short.

A Guest.
Death of Mrs. J. ('. Dennett.
(Carolina Cor. to Rowland Sun.)
Our community was saddened two
weeks ago when the death angel entered
the home of Mr. .1. . Ilenne
and bore the spirit of the wife and
mother to the great beyond. It was
the writer's privilege to have
known her from my earliest recollections,
being playmates and classmates
through all our earlv vents
Reared in a Christian home, almost
within the shadow of the
church wall, I have no idea she
knew when her Christian life began.
Her's was one of the gentlest,
sweetest natures I ever knew: with
a smile on her lips, she was always
ready for any service which
love demanded. At an early age
she took upon herself the vows assumed
by her parents, in infancy
and it seemed the yoke was eaa>
and the burden light.
Six years ago she was married tc
Mr. J. C. Bennett, and of this union
one little daughter, Irene, foui
i
years, remains, whose only conception
of death is, as she was overheard
to say in musing, 'They told
me God wanted mamma."
For one week she suffered with
violent vomiting, which could not he
checked. All that medical aid and
nursing could do was of no avail
until God said. "It is enough, eotne
up higher."
On Saturday there was a small
grave made and on Sunday afternoon
another made beside it. Her
mortal life is ended, hut on down
through yea its of time such a life
as Iter's will continue, hearts will be
more tender and souls strengthened,
tiie world better for her stay in it
She leaves to mourn a husband ,
and daughter, a. mother, two sisters ,
and seven brothers, who though
bowed down with sorrow can say,
"God doetli all things well."
It was late Wednesday afternoon, <
the last paper ol" the week's edition (
had been printed, run through the
folding machine, passed under the
mailer and was ready for delivery. 1
The editor sat in iiis easy chair en- 1
joying a sense of relief from the ,
nerve-racking work of the past (
three days and drawing mental pictures
of tiie city iJilloii would he
in the next 20 years when in they '
came, tumbling over each other in
their excitement and shouting "vie
lory" in a chorus of voices. "Say,
Mister." shouted a well-knit, stoutly
built, dirt-begrimed youth, "does
it cost anything to publish the news
ni a baseball game"" No. "Well,
I am captain of the 'l.ittle Giants,'
at.d I want you to tell ike people
v. have just defeated I .alt a by a
si ore of 1 js to "It was the
game of the season," chimed in
another youth of tender years, his
hr'glit little eyes glistening like
diamonds through a veil of dust, ?
streaked and striped with perspiration.
"and we want to git all the .
credit that's com hi* to us." "And
don't fail to mention the batteries,
Mister," shouted another line type
of Young America who bore upon m
his left hand a catcher's mit sev-, 4
oral times larger than his own lit- f
I ^
tie body, "it was Ivey and Hvans,
Herring and Smith for Dillon, and s
Atkinson and lie thoa for l.atta." ^
' The editor was jotting down the ^
iiaiiii-a one iignuuug win n lie was
interrupted. "Hold on," snouted
another corduroyed youth with huge ^
si ikes in his shoes, "Make that T
R.' Evans so everybody will know
' who he is. lie did the work for
' Dillon in tin pitcher's box and I
must git eredit for what lie done."|B
At this juneture another tousled
? youth, covered from head to feet *
with diautnod dust, and loaded down :<
with mils, hats, masks and breast- ?
shields large enough fur a player *
ii: the national league, advaneed *
'.noidly to the front and interrupted ?
the proceedings. ".No he didn't *
'.either; Ivey struck out three with *?
:,tiu bases full and sa\ed the day; *?
mention his nauie, too." Finally *
peace was r? stored and the editor
learned that after weeks of preparation
and anticipation the "Little *
(Hants of Dillon and Latta had
just pulled off one of the most ex- \
! citiug games of the season. The

resulted in u big victory for the* !*.

i ed to hear the side of the "Little >
Giants from Dntta. Probably elui- ?
grined at their defeat they had *
quietly withdrawn from the field of
' battle, and while their victors were !?
i getting the news "in the papers" *
they were wending their way home- :?
ward much humbled in pride and ?
