To the Editor of the Dispatch:
It is hot and dry and the prospects
for a crop this year are very poor in
our section: - We have not had
enough to settle plowed lands since
about the Gsh Of April and still Mr..
Bauer fails to appoint time for it
to rain. Cotton is poor stand ard
some are still waiting for rain before
planting. Many have rot planted
corn yet. Gardens are burning up
and things generally are looking
blue.
Union Chapel church held Chill
drers' day services last Wednesday
and those who we're fortunate to
attend say it was a success. Rev.
Snyder, of Colu mbis, came up and
treated the audience to 6ne lecture.
He advocated inculcatipg in the
minds and hearts of children right
ideas and right principles rather
than allow them SOW wild oats and

every time you want to get a little
water. Every time you expect any
thing from them you are going to
get fooled unless you cnurn them up
in big meeting and then as soon as
it is over they gurgle and slush and
drop right back, and when you want
anything again you have to prime
them. He certainly understands
them.
Mr.. F. B. Vansant, assistant ticket

Brookland, is visiting the parental
home here.

David S. Haltiwanger to teach the
Irmo school next session. Mr.. Haiti

College and comes we'll recommend

ward to better 8 school under his
management.
Not many Sum- Flowers went from
our community and over our road to
the Fun-Flower. It may have been
success, but We heard of one fel-
low who ofered-a liberal reward to
see it-said he had been looking for
it all day and could not find it.

e. A. Lorick and Dr.. Geiger say
they are going to the Exposition at
