the meeting here on Friday, when a
big crowd is expected, and all the
candidates, otherwise known as the
Salvation Army, will have ''big hands
round"
Lexington Graded School opens
Monday, Sept. LIST. hear Of quite
a number of boardirgpupils who will
enter, and the prospects are excellent
for a large attendance. 1t is greatly
to the advantage Of pupils to enter
on the opening day.
We are in receipt of the Leesville
College catalogue for lS99-90. L. B.
Haynes, A. NJ, President. The col
lege has a full corps of professors
and will enter upon it's first year
with a large attendance of pupils,
both male and female.
Those owing this Office for sub
scriptions or advertising, will please
settle as soon as convenient, as we
are needing money to run u bust

Mr.. r. L. Fox was here Sunday
and his heart was SO smitten and
head so turned by the pretty girls in
this neighborhood that he lost his
baggage on the train on his way back
to B~atesburg, Monday, but as It con
tanned French candy for another fair
beauty about Batesburg he never
rested till he recovered it.
The agony of the political excite
ment will soon terminate but the Joy
attending the purchase of cheap gro
ceries and provisions still lasts at T.
B. Aughtry&Co's. Columbia. They
have the largest stock of fine gro
ceries and standard hardware in that
city, and don't you forg>t it and are
selling them at prices witch fill the
hearts of purchasers with Joy.
There are very few people Of Lex
ington county, who have never
bought groceries from that "prince
of good fellows" Archie McCraney,
Columbia, for the good reason that
people can't help buying from him as
he sells the best, the most and the
cheapest in that market. IF you,
gentle reader, havn't found this out,
suppose you give him a trial, and he
will prove it to a dead certainty.
At a considerable cost the Dispatch
has secured perfect Ekenesses of
Messrs. Eberhardt and McCreery,
end men in the Columbia Amatuer
Ministries and they appear in the
advertisement in this issue. Look
for them and be sure to go and see
them, you will readily recognize
them as they appear on the stage
Friday evening by their pictures.
It is now certain that Judge -Ker
shaw cannot resume his duties be-
fore the first of November, and that
the regular terms of the courts for
Lexington and Richland counties in
September and October will not be
held. Judge Kershaw is at the cele-
brated "Sanitorium" at D~ansville,
New York, where he is steadily i'm
proving in health and strength. The
physicians say that his health is not
seriously threatened, that he only
needs a term of rest until winter to
be completely restored.

The smallest and quaintest street in
New York is located on the East Side,
within one-quarter of a mile of the
city hall. 1t is named Chestnut street
1t begins at Madison street, just below
the junction of Madison with New
Chambers, and runs diagonally across
New Chambers and New Bowery
streets to Oak street. There was a
time, before New Chambers street was
cut through, when Chestnut street de-
served the title of a thoroughfare. Ii
had some utility at that time, and
could have been found without the aid
of a microscope. But now it has no
utility and only one lamppost.
That portion of Chestnut street be
tween Madison and New Chambers Ii
just forty-flve feet long. 1t cuts off q
fiatiron shaped building, the walls OF
which are decorated with announce
ments of the Soup Greens society an6
the Swelled Heads, Jrs.
Chestnut street starts to cross New
Chambers and New Bowery, distance
of about 200 feet, but becomes lost in {
maze of street car tracks and Second
Avenue Elevated Railroad pillar
which traverses New B0wcey streeo
After crossing this wilderness of iroI
diagonally Chestnut street enters int
another fifty feet of existence between
New Bowery and Oak street. Here
also, it cuts off a fiatiron shaped build
ing used as a cigar factory. The onl,
possible utility that this portion O
Chestnut street can have is to permit
short cut to the Oak Street Police sta
ton. New York Journal.
