Our Trio il the Fork.

During our trip through the Fork
last week in company with Treasurer
on his tax collecting tour, it was our
privilege as we'll as pleasure to share
the generous hospitality and social
intercourse of many of the people
of that section of the county.
The open hearted hospitality Of
genial and warm personal friend,
Squire J. ". Dreher, is proverbial,
Monday he out did himself and our
reception was most kind aud cordial.
The dinner prepared by Mrs. Dreher
was one of the best that we have
ever sat down to, and our apprecia-
ton was fully attested by the amount
of the tempting viands that we eat.
Nightfall found US comfortably
housed beneath the cheerful roof of
CAPTAIN J. H Counts. The Captain
has beautiful and pleasant home,
and is surrounded by all the god
things Of life. The Lord has made
him to prosper in his worldly affairs
and out the abundance of his thank
ful flows great wave of brotherly
kindness and Christian charity to-
ward all of Gods creatures which
endears him to the hearts of all with
whom he comes in contact. A long,
pleasant and prosperous lifeis wished
for the Captain and his kind, gcner-
Gus and devoted wife.
We enjoyed an excellent dinner at
Mr.. ]. D Richardson, who is one of
the Forks best, most substantial and
most pleasant gentlemen. Our re-
reception to his home and at his fire.
side could not have possibly been
more cordial, more kindly and more
pleasant. Memory will treasure up
our visit to him as a bright spot in
our life which will be pleasant to turn
the leaves backward and dwell upon
in the years that are to come.
At White Rock we found our &C.
NAL friend, Mr.. J. B. Shealy, who has
nice little stock Of general mer-
chandise and was glad to learn that
he was meeting with success.
During our trip through the Fork
it was our privilege to spend the
night beneath the hospitable roof OF
Mr.. A. W. Haltiwanger who resides
near Chaplin. Wewere kindly received
pleasantly entertained, we'll fed and
comfortably housed. Mr.. Haltiwan-
ger is one of the Forks most sub
stantial citizens.
Thursday night we put up at the
home of Mr.. Daniel
Shealy where we received the utmost
kindness and attention. Mr.. Sbealy
is hard-working and industrious
farmer and, as matter OF course, he
is prospering in his worldly affairs.
His crops are always the largest, his
stock the fattest and his cattle the
sleekest. His barns oyerhows with
golden grain and his smokehouse is
full of meat. He is a happy and
man and lis neighbors and
friends call him blessed.

Superior to All Other.

GERENTo, Miss, May 9Th, 1892.
Although I never used any secret
remedies before, I prescribe st.
Joseph's Sarsaparilla in my practice
as 1 would any prescription OF my
own compounding, and any physl-
ciap who will do the same will be
greatly pleased at the results
achieved. In my opinion it is supe-
rior to all others and has been es'
pecially useful to me in Rheumatic
and Scrofulous cases.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
You will please allow me space in
your paper to bring before the pub
lie a few facts in regard to my sup
posed connection with the Palmetto
Institute at this place
My name came out in the paper in
August as the duly elected assistant
in the school, and the impression has
gone out that l am teaching, having
received several letters of congratu-
lation from friends not in the county.
l am not willing to rest under
false impressions and will make a
few statements in regard to this
matter.
In the first place, the patrons held
a meeting and elected five men as the
Executive Committee, or Trustees as
they may be called, viz; Messrs. Win
gard, George, Redd, Ballentine and
E. B. Roof, the last named is also q
trustee Of the public school, the other
two being Messrs. D. L. George and
J. J Fox. The trustees called
meeting (Which the Public board
now claims to be illegaD and elected
Prof. E. J. Dreher principal. A
short time after another called meet
ing of the patrons was announced in
the paper for the election Of an assis-
tant.
My application was before the
body, as was that of Miss Olga Hen
dirk, when Mr.. Roof came in and
withdrew it after it was placed before
the chairman, I was then unani-
mously elected and was thus notified
by the Secretary the next day.
Some time after the Trustees of the
Public School held a private meeting
and two of them, E. B. Roof and j.
J. Fox, elected Miss Hendrix. MIR.
George claimed that they had always
endorsed the teacher elect and pro-
posed to see me, also to postpone
their meeting, advertise it and receive
applications, feeling assured there
would be more than one, which would
have been the case had I known my
application was to 60 before their
honorable body. Yet Mr.. Roof adj
mitted to me afterward that he knew
my application was for the whole
term. Another strange feature is
this they did not publish the result
of their meeting until four days be-
fore the school opened as o public
school; heretofore it has always been
opened as a private school. MIR.
Roof also refused to say if Miss Hen
dirk would accept the position until
her name was announced as above
stated. Mr.. Roof also informed the
County Superintendent Of Education
that large majority of the patrons
were opposed to me, yet he refused
to name one when I asked him who
they were.
Now, I do not question the law and
right of this Honorable body to do
as they have done, but the manner
in which they did it. If the applica-
ton of Miss Hendrix had been left
before the patrons and they would
have elected her instead of myself
and their body then endorsed her as
they have always done, am too
much Of lady to have said one word.
I suppose they have the law on
their side, but claim that which is
far preferable, truth, honesty and
justice.
1 am willing for The patrons and
the public to say who is right. [
claim no lady has ever been more
unjustly treated without a cause.

Trouble Over Cider.

On Saturday night OF last week a dance
was held at the residence of William
Boyd, on the Bentz farm near lakewood,
and was attended by some young men o.
the vicinity and Conowingo. The host
treated them to cider, which created e
desire for more, and some of them went
in search of the barrel, which was found
in an out house. They took the milk
buckets oftheir host and carried the cider
to the orchard, where it was drank. The
spigot was left open and the contents Of
the barrel escaped. Mr.. Boyd became
angry when he learned of his loss and
placed the matter in the hands of Squire
Cummings, who invited the offenders tc
pay the damages or go to Jail.

The Cecil Wing VS.. the Supreme
Court.

In commenting on Mr.. Whitehead's
speech at Elkton the Wing remarks that
"the greenbacks had no constitutional
warrant for their issue" Now it SC
happened that this question was taken
before the Supreme court of the United
States for its opinion, and the verdict o.
that august nine was the very opposite o.
the Whig's The Courts decision was
that the government has constitutional
authority for issuing money, greenbacks
or any and all kinds of legal tender. The
Supreme court rendered decision on the
constitutional power of the government
to issue the greenbacks March 3, 1854. In
that decision the court says.-"The
power of making notes of the United
States legal tender in payment of private
debts being included in the power tc
borrow money and provide a nationa
currency is not defeated or restricted by
the fact that its exercise may effect the
value of private contracts"

FadS i'm r1edicine.

There are fads in medicine as in every thing else
and "new thing frequensly sells for a short
time simplp because it is new. But in medicine,
as in nothing else, he people demand and will
be satisfied only with positive, absolute merit.
The sact that Hoods Sarsaparilla has stood its
groand against all competition and its sales have
never wavered but have remained steadily at the
top, demonstrates, beyond any doubt the intrin
sic virtues of this medicine The new things have
come and gone but Hoods Sarsaparilla rests upon
the solid foundation of absolute merit and its
power to cure. and its sales continue to be the
largest in the world.
