LYNCHBURG.
Lynchburg, July S.-our shipping
point, our town and our postoflce are
ali Lynchburg now, so we can learn
to head our letters 'Magnolia' from
now on. The name as applied to our
town is defunct, laid out and buried,
and the only life the pretty little name
mas in our memory All letters intend
ed for "old" Lynchburg should be ad-
dressed, South Lynchburg.
The incorporation Of this little town
seems to have infused new life into
1t. We now have two new stores in
course of erection, Keel Bros, a brick
store, and the Lynchburg Mercantile
Company, large frame building 100
feet long and 2s feet wide, with solid
glass front.
Messrs. T. Gordon Griffin and W. T.
Mcleod have bought Mr.. T. N. -Grif-
fms dry goods store and have taken
charge, and Gordon is sure hustler.
Work Will begin at an early day on
two or three other new stores, so this
correspondent is informed.
The bank is quiet at this time, but is
a certainty it seems.
Mrs. E. F. Darby and son Osgood
have returned from Cedar Springs.
Misses Annie and jamie Chandler
are in town on several days visit to
Aar. M. I. Mcintosh.
Miss Viola Mcintosh has returned
from three weeks visit in Sumter.
She says there is no place like Sumter.
Mr.. Len Lanes three children, after
several weeks illness, one Of which
had typho-malarial fever, as pro-
nounced by a physician, are all much
better. Great anxiety was felt about
this family for several days, as>ss9sT.
Lane, the father, being a holiness"
man and a strong believer in the
faith cure,'' refused to call in ply
sician, or allow any medicine Of any
nature administered, and only per-
nitted them to be given water and
such nourishment as they could relish.
BY request of the citizens DR.. Darby
made one visit and 20 more. Mr..
Lane only asked what kind Of fever
st was that his children had. No med
incine at all was ever given, SO how
shall it be explained. Well, it proves
conclusively that people can some
times Just wear out a disease Of a ma
Egnant type, without the aid Of
physician or even medicine; but it's
foolishr risk. Mr. Lane is an honest,
conscientious man, and certainly
means right. We still have no faith
an faith cure"
The terrible, the notorious and the
much dreaded Dave Caesar, alias Cou-
ser, colored, died suddenly yesterday
morning, having only been ailing a
few hours, suffering from intense
nausea and severe vomiting. He
Hved and died alone, had three living
Wives, but on account OF continued
brutal treatment was deserted by all
,0 them. He was probably the worst
neg.o in the state. There are some
xhisperings of foul play, but no in
quest was requested or asked for-ev-
erybody seems satisfied with matters
as they are. His own brother and
grown up son and daughter seem
.scontent.
Our ball team went down to Shiloh
x1ast evening to play match game, but
Shiloh catcher took exceptions to the
decision of Umpire c.. T. Quick and
threw the ball down, which meant
play no more" They, after a long
&ebate, admitted the umpire's ruling
correct, but it was then too late to re-
zume the game.
DALZELL.
Dalzell, yuly 3.-If we had some of
the rains now that we had all through
the month Of May We would make as
fine crops as we did last year. But
