The farmers of this section are
beginning to prepare for their future
crops. The fields are being cleared
oftrash and some are plowing already.
Mr.. J. w. Scofill, one of Lexing-
tons most successful farmers, has
made improvements on his farm and
additions to his team.
Mr.. James V. Smith, who has been
successfully teaching the school at
Smith Branch academy for the past
two terms, is still teaching there and
expects to have a fine exhibition at
the close of this term, which will be
about the middle of March.
1t seems that this neighborhood
has been blessed, so far, from the
measles; there have been some few
cases near us but not many deaths
have occurred.
Instead, there has been great
epidemic of matrimonial fever raging
through this section. 1t seems that
it is contagious. A very severe case
terminated on the 10th instant, be-
tween Simeon Berry and Miss Lula
Kneece, all of Lexington count; and
another terrible case resulted the
same way, on Sunday the 18TH inst,
between Miss Rebecca Lewis, and a
young gentleman. commonly known
by the name Of "Bub" Wood. Judge
G. R. Rish officiating at each. Mr..
J. E. Dunbar, being present, accom-
panied him to the latter and no
doubt wished the young couple a
long and happy life, with sunshine
strewn all along their future pathway
upon which no cloud should ever
break to mar their peace and hap
piness.
1t seems as if some of the young
men of this section are badly broken
up on account Of these marriages,
and like Jones Of old, ''prefer to live
a life of solitude" Brace up young
men there are plenty good fish left
at sea. DAN.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
As it has been sometime since I
have written to your paper [ will
give you a few items from our little
town.
We have had plenty of rain for
the present.
Plenty of windy weather.
Our little town is still growing
and is in prosperous condition.
We are having a great deal of
sickness here in town. Measles pre-
valent. A great many people are
just now taking them and there have
been some deaths. I am glad to
know that some are over them and
others are recovering.
I am sorry to know that Mr.. &. d.
Bouknight's family is having SO much
trouble with the measles. There
were nine down in the family at one
time. He had the misfortune to
lose his eldest daughter, Mary Agnes,
Size was born November II, 1878,
and died February 5, 1896, making
her age % years 2 months and 25
days. She was consistent member
of the Methodist church, which she
joined in early childhood. Just a
few hours before she died she sweetly
sang, Nearer my God to thee"
I understand that Mr.. Wade
Weeds little girl had her leg broken
quite recently.
There is good doctor needed
again. DR.. J. E. Lee is expecting to
leave this place soon, [ understand,
but am sorry to know it. When
he leaves there will be good open
ing for another doctor. and hope we
will get good one soon.
Mr.. Frank Nunamaker is the In
tendant of the town and is now hay
ing a great many Improvements made
on the streets. I think he will make
a good Intendant. X.
