a Sad Death.

After retiring Monday night, the
.2srd of May in as good health as
was his wont, our worthy citizen,
Henry Spires, died at half past nine,
being II years and 3 days old. He
leaves to mourn his death, besides a
host of friends, an aged widow, who
bore..tor him thirteen children, eleven
of whom are ill.living, and forty
four grandchildren and twenty-five
great grandchildren. In early man
hood he became a Christian, joined
the Baptist church and was ordained
q Deacon, an Office which he filed
with credit to his church. While we
mourn his loss We find consolation in
the hope that he is now basking in
the sunlight of Jesus. J. B. K.

A Family Reunion.

Published by Request.
A pleasant day was spent on Thurs
day, May II, at the Uncle Joe Shealy
home place, near Little Mountain.
The occasion was family reunion.
Unfortunately, by misunderstanding,
not more than half were present who
otherwise would have been on hand.
But anyone would have considered
the number present sufficient for a
good size family.
The day was spent as such days
usually are-in social concourse,
singing, and by no means least, in
eating. At about IL o'clock about 70
had gathered. All were in good
spirits and seemed bent in getting all
ont of the day there was in it. The

Something's ReheGa.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
You now can hear the constant cry,
Where'er you chance to stop.
The weather continues very dry
And the sunshines dreadtully hot.
Farm work is progressing nicely
Notwithstanding a much needed rain
would greatly benefit matters.
Wheat is ripening and ere this
reaches the readers of the Dispatch
much will be harvested. The heads
are we'll filed and I think the yield
will be above the average.
Fall oats are excellent, while later
sowing is much inferior owing to the
late dry spring.
Soon the candidates will he in the land.
Gripping the voter tightly by the hand;
Smiling and chatting with the ladies,
Treating and kissing their pretty babies.
Mr.. Jacob Boone is the champion
crow killer thus far, having bagged
Eve as the result of one shot. Ask
friend Jake how he did it.
Mr.. Frank B Goodwin says he has
discovered a sure preventative of
chicken cholera. Write or ask bim
concerning his remedy.
w. N. Neill has been promoted
from section master to road master
on the Savannah division on the S.
A. L. r. r. This is promotion
worthily bestowed.
Already the delicious peaches have
been coming this way and such feast
ing on pies is enough to make the
gods envious.-. Go way, Billy! Don't
tickle our appetite so. Ed
Watch the candidate while on the round,
And view him with a critics eye;
Should his character prove unsound
Pass him very affsctionaly by.
The friends of Mr.. P. E. Hutto
speak of putting him forward for the
House. Should Paul make the race,
he will make it lively for the man
who beats him.
Talk about you May picnics and
courting expositions; talk about
thanksgiving day with turkey, trim
mings and cranberry sauce; talk
about 4sh of July barbecues with
that eloquent vote seeker; talk about
your hymenial gathering with we'd
ding cakes and edibles, but what are
they to be compared to one of those
good old first class birth day dinners?
Such an one Billy was invited to on
the 25th ult, at the home of our es-
teemed friend, A. B. Sharpe. It was
the occasion of his fifty.frst birth
day. All the children and the grand
children and friends, etc, were there
and such another feast Of good
things spread upon the board there
was before. Oh, my! it makes an
.scking void in the gastronomical re-
gions even now when I think about
the many nice edibles there on that
occasion. Mr.. Sharpe is one of my
good patrons on the R. F. D, and I
thing when "Klondike's" wistful eye
falls upon this, he, too, will want his
patrons to treat him and his likewise.
MIR. Editor, what has become of
the road convention? Peradventure
it has gone to the Worlds Fair; or,
perchance it has crossed the mighty
deep and is now taking part in the
Russc-Jap war, or, perhaps, it might
be recruiting its forces with a view
for fishing outing on the waters of
the famous Black creek Neither
one of these three surmises, Billy! It
has simply gone up salt River" to be
seasoned and sugar cured for home
consumption by future generations.
