To the Editor of the Dispatch:

10 the Editor OF the Dlspatch:
The recent few days of warm sun
shiny weather made US feel as
though spring had come to stay and
gardening began in earnest, but
another cool, rainy spell reminds US
that we have been fooled again.
DR.. F. R Geiger is tearing away
the shop buildings on his premises
preparatory to moving bis dwelling
to the front on Woodrow street.

looks Ct his premises and to our
town also.

visit to friends in Chaplin. Miss
Hattie Suber has just returned from
protracted visit to Newberry county.
Mrs. Allie Only, nee Miss Bouknigbt,

Our Town Council has put some of
our town roads in first class con-
dition under the management of
Capt. J. H. Counts, who very kindly
volunteered his services. Capt.
Counts thoroughly understands road
making and would make fine Road
Supervisor.
Railroad business continues heavy.
Freight trains all run late, and some
of them are moved by double headers.
The delegation of the Womsn's
Missionary Society will meet here

There is considerable complaint
among some of our people about the

A child three years of age died Of

the child whisky to strengthen him.
In their absence he found a bottle of
whisky and drank from it, until he fell
over in a drunken stupor, from which
the physician could not arouse him.
