To the Editor of the Dispatch:


Times have been so gloomy that 1
have not appeared in your columns
for some time, but we have had a
nice rain now, and everybody seems
to feel better and I will again at
tempt to give you few items from
around here.
The old corn and cotton crops are
injured badly by the dry weather,
but there is still some hopef for young
corn and peas.
The protracted meetings are about
over with. The one held at old Lex
ington church, conducted by the
Rev. Rivers and Steel, was a success.
Music was furnished by Prof. W. P.
Steel. The one at Union was also
good.
Prof. Singly is now teaching a
music school at Mr.. G.. G.. Shirey's.
He is blind man and it is almost
miraculous to see him play an organ.
The health of this community is
good. There is not a case of fever
that I know o: now.
Misses Irena and Carrie Koop,
from Newberry, are visiting their
mother, Mrs. Martha Kcon.
Rufus Koon, who has been staying
with his brother, J. J. Koon, has re-
turned home.
MIR. Editor, the writer went last
Thursday below Lewiedale goose
berry picking. We started early in
tde morning and picked until 10
O'Clock, and after dinner when the
sun ceased to shine so hot, we gath
cred our pals and started out and
picked until sun down. Then we
passed an enjoyable night under the
hospitable roof of Mr.. Taylor. We
started home the next morning with
a nice chance Of the ripe fruit, and
also the sweet memory Of a very
pleasant day. The people Of that
section have fine crops, as they have
not suffered so much for rain.
Mr.. Jim Bauentine and family, ac-
companied by Miss Cummings Coog-
Ter, gave US a pleasant visit last week.
We enjoyed their company extremely
we'll and hope that ere long they will
find it convenient to pass this way
again.
Guess what young man went to
see his best girl four nights last
week.
Notwithstanding the tbreatning
weather last Sunday evening large
crowd attended Sunday school at the
"Star."
Will Moore, a negro while return
ing from church, one night last week,
was shot by two white men that pre-
tended to be constables. The bullet
hit brass button and knocked him
senseless. No harm was done to his
body. The men have not been seen
since.
Next first Sunday morning at 10
o'clock, a Sunday school is to be
organized at ''old Lexington" We
hope to see large crowd out.
We wonder what makes a certain
young man have to sing the sweet
and sad song of ''Plant Sweet F!ow-
ers en- Ny Grave. He says he has
been deserted.
With much success to the Dispatch,
