InlS County, anu III" d Suoio
penitentiary, at the shooting match
of the guards in July, won the first
prize being the best shot.
II any of our patrons should fail to
receive the DISPATCH further they
need not guess at the cause. We
presume they know it. 1t is impos-
sible for US to run q newspaper and
send it out to parties on a credit from
one to three years, and we don't in
tend to do it.
Who was it, on Thursday, that in
troduced q certain individual seven
times to the same candidate? The
candidate said every time, I'm so
glad to see you" but finally said Il
only wish it was your brother, he has
a powerful influence"
The numerous friends of Mr.. 4. n.
Wannamaker announce him as a can
didate for public patronage. He can
be found at No. ITO Main St., Plat,
Hook & Shull's old stand, Columbia,
with a brand new and fresh stock OF
groceries, cheaper thar the cheapest.
Mr.. W. T. Martin we'll and favorably
known to many of our people having
recently opened there with whom Mr..
Wannamaker serves as clerk and will
be pleased to see all Of his Lexington
and Orangeburg friends.
We have received from Mess. Lud-
den & Bates, the great music publish
ers of the South, Savannah, Ga, the
Hancock and English Union March.
Its popularity is already assured by
it's adoption everywhere, and under
its inspiring strains resounding from
thousands of bands, pianos and Or
gans throughout the Union the SOL
dier-statesman will forward march"
into the White House. Send 40 cts.
and secure a copy at once.
Miss Jane Bryce, well-known here,
and formerly a resident of this city,
died on the 5th inst, at the residence
of DR.. J. H. Carlisle, at Spartanburg.
She was distinguished for her charity
and uniform kindness to the poor
and needy Neoman.
She was q resident here for several
years, before the war, and no doubt,
we'll remembered by many of our
people. She was an excellent school
teacher, and from whom we learned
the alphabet. She often treated us
on peppermint drops for good lessons.
But she is gone, where all good peo-
pie go.
Eyery cen1;date-hL-ae~--h
interests, will have a goodly number
of printed tickets circulated among
the voters at'each poll on the day OF
the primary election. Send in Your
orders in time, gentlemen; neat and
cheap work at the job Office of the
DISPATCH.
1t is to be regretted that a number
of ladies selected their places very
near the stand on the 5th, for the
sole purpose of showing their aver
sion to hearing good speeches. A
crusade of this kind is certainly most
agreeable to those who engage in it
and decidedly annoying to the speak
ers and to those whose tastes are so
depraved as TO give them a relish for
a treat in the way of an excellent
address. "Chatter- boxes" are pre-
cious things. They are good to de-
molish any speaker who hasn't an
iron will and brass lungs. That is
doubtless what suggested the idea to
General Butler, who said that it took
a man with a great deal of brass tc
make a stump speech.
Our merchants are all getting in
large stocks of goods. This looks
like business. Full stocks at all the
stores, aud a leading article seldom
or never missing. Let the people
around about Lexington come hither
for whatever they want they a gel
new, good and cheap right here.
We regret that Cox Jno. R. Abney
has declined to be a candidate for re-
election to the Solicitorship. His re-
nomination at the Judicial Conven'
ton would have been a mere matter
of course, and it is q rare thing II
