Leaves from Spring Branch.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Well, Mr.. Editor, I guess it is tim
for me to write again.
The health of our community is
very good at this time.
Cotton picking is about over. Pea
pulling and cutting is now the daily
work on the farm.
The farmers are making good use
of their time-what time it is not
raining. .
We have had some nice rains.
They make turnip and sweet potato
tops look fine.
Well, MIR. Editor, I think Twill en-
gage in dog and hog raising. There
seems to be money in dog and hog
and also trouble in dogs.
Mr.. D. r. Shumpert of Peliop, is
seen riding about in our community
hunting booty. Get ready and pay
him what you owe him.
Veil, there is great demand for
ed;7cation and better education, go
parents educate your children sothat
when you leave them you will not
leave them in state of ignorance.
Well, MIR. Editor, here are some of
the boys who are going to take in the
big State Fair at Columbia: Messrs.
f. B. livery, g. @. CAN'T, J. o. sprad-
ley, n. f. Bradley and o. L. Berry.
MFR. Jacob Shumpert recently had
the misfortune to lose fine Tennes-
see raised mule. MIR. Sam Derrick
also sustained the loss Of Kentucky
raised mule.
MIR. George Roof and wife OF Irene
have been visiting at the home of
MIR. John T. Kyzsr.
Mr.. Try Kyzer is at home with his
father.
A happy time to the editor OF the
Dispatch and it's readers, is the wish
of Mont Rose.

Leaves from Hollands Shed.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
We have been having very fine
weather for the last few weeks and
we are nearly done picking cotton.
The farmers are sowing oats while
others are gathering corn and pease.
I must say we have an sllround good
crop. I think there is better and
more opportunities for the farmer to
make money than for many years.
Everything he has to sell is a fancy
price. therefore the farmers should
strive to raise all of his provision on
the farm, so then you see his product
can be turned into. money.
Boys let me give you some advice.
First decide what you are going to
follow as life work. # you have
not yet decided, take my advice and
settle down on the farm for your life
calling. which is one ct the surest
and most independent lives you can
live. but you must take hold Of it
right and work for success. Remem-
ber life is just what we make it.
Some men work all their days and
never accumulate or accomplish auy-
thing more than living and q scant
one at that; then on the other hand,
some men prosper at almost any
thing they take hold Of; why is it,
simply because they manage right
and save what they make. The old
adage is: There is more made by
saving than by hard work.
Boys settle on the farm and be
your own boss, and make men OF

There is more Catarrh in this Sec

diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be

doctors pronounced it local disease,

by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incura.

Sufferers from Asthma, Hay Fever or
Bronchitis will be interested to
learn that DR.. r. Schiffmann's "Asth-
ma Cure" instantly relieves the most
violent attack, insures comfortable
sleep and has effected cures in thou
sands of cases that had previously
tried every other remedy in vain. No
waiting for results. Its action is i'm
mediate, direct and certain. So firm
is his confidence that the doctor re-
quests this paper to announce that
he has sent to druggists of this town,
as we'll as to all other druggists In
this country. sample packages of his
remedy which will be given free to
sufferers of above complaints, who
apply promptly. thus offering an op-
portunity to such as have not yet tried
the remedy to make a personal test
which will convince the most skepti-
cal. Persons failing for any reason to
receive a sample package from their
druggist will receive one free by mail

To the housewife who has not yet

the old, We would suggest that . trial

guaranteed by the manufacturers to

cause each 10c package contains is

In spite of the fact that at this sea-
son of the year the major portion OF
the country is undergoing what seems
to the residents like tropical heat,
there are many localities where the
nights are sufficiently cold to warrant
the building of a fire in the crate in
rooms which are provided with them.
AS these CRATES and fire places are not
as common as one might wish for,
recourse may be had to the heat gen.
elator, shown in the accompanying
drawing, which is the idea of George
S. Chase of Springfield. Mass. The in.
vention is practically a radiator,
which gathers up the rising heat rays
from the flame of the lamp and dis
tributes them about the room instead
Of allowing them to. rise vertically to
the ceiling. The circulation of this
heated air also produces q current
which draws the air from the room
and brings it in contact with the hot
surface of the generator, thus further
increasing the generation Of warm
air. The generator is built up Of .
series of thin metal plates, with an
opening at the bottom for the inser-
ton Of the lamp chimney. It is sup
ported by a vertical post and project.

height it was anchored; the higher up
1t was the greater would be the temp
tation to ascend and view the scenery.
The intention of the inventor is to
provide car of suffic buoyancy to
carry cables of great length, with
means for drawing the balloon down
to anchor it close to the ground when
not in use. The gas reservoir is di-
vided into sections. with an equal
amount of gas in each, and In case of
puncture in one of the sections the
remaining pockets would have suffi-
cient buoyancy to support the car un.
til repairs could be made.
1t is already common practice to at
tach balloon to single cable
wound on drum and allow a few per-
sons to ascend at a time. but the
amount of power required is much
greater than that necessary to raise
the elevator in this case. There is
central opening in the observation
platform, through which the car rises
to discharge and take ON passengers,
with a single cable to operate the car.
Joseph Greth of New York is the in
ventor.

drawing, the invention of Joseph
Chagnot of Torrington, Conn.
The device consists of a water
reservoir. two bait holders and tilt

er is located above the inclined run

finding it difficult to get the bait from

morsel. In so doing he will pass be.
