The Lexington Dispatch.
Wednesday, August 9, 1905.
Notes from Chapin.

The rains have been fine and crops
are good, with the exception OF very
early corn.
Our merchants are all doing good
business. Messrs. r. W. Fcick &
Son and J. S. Wessinger have bought
lot of cotton during month of July.
Mr.. Chas. P. Robinson has invested
in an up.to-dste brick machine and is
making an excellent quality of brick,
some of which, I think, has been
shipped to your town to Mr.. Samuel
George. Oar people are jobi|ent
over MIR. Robinson's success with bis
brick business, as they think this
means cotton mill for Chspin in the
near future.
It is with sadness that we learn of
and report the death of MIR. John
Henry Slice. son of MI. Cal Slice,
who once lived among us but for
several yeara has resided in Columbie.
Mr. Cal Slices wife was buried yes.
terday Sunday one week ago, at
St. Jacobs, Wateree, church, and to-
day her son will be laid by her side
This is surely very trying to Mr..
Slice and his remaining family, but
there is one who is able to comfort.
They have the sympathy of this COM
munity.
The Church Council of st. Jacobs
pastorate met on the Goth Of July
and extended 8 call to Rev. T. z
Roof of Newton, N. c.. to become
pastor of this charge.
Mr.. j. S. Wessinger has returned
from weeks trip in North Carolina
where he went to buy car of furni-
ture. he reports q good time, as he
visited his brother, Rev j. G. 'Wes-
singer, near Lexington, N. c.. and
returned by Hickory, Asbeville and
Spartanburg, which trip sffords very
fine mountain scenery.
The Trustees of this school district
have employed Prof. j. D. Farr as
principal and Miss Blanche Kyzer fs
assistant of the Chaplin school. With
these teachers We should have one of
the banner schools of the county.
The trustees have solicited subscrip.
tions and have secured enough money
including the public funds, TO run an
eight months school. The school
will be graded and diplomas issued
to each scholar finishing the lat
grade. The trustees have received
the library and case, which will add
much to the school.
Chaplin is on boom. Real estate
continues to change hands and new
residences are being built. MIR. T.
N. Browns residence will soon be
completed and Mr. w. E. Koon COM
menced work on bis residence.
With best wishes for you and the
desr old Dispatch, I am yours,
Chaplin, S. G, July 81, '05. W.

The Original.

Foley & Co., Chicago, originated Hon
ey and Tar as throat and lung remedy.
and on account Of the great merit and
popularity of Foley's Honey and Tai
many limitations are offered for the gen
uine. These worthless limitations have
similar sounding names. Beware OF
them. The genuine Foley's Honey
and Tar is in yellow package. Ask
for it and refuse any substitute. 1t is
the best remedy for coughs and colds.

has done for me. suffered with female
troubles, extreme lassitude, the blues,
nervousness and that all gone feeling. Twas

and bladder are out Of order.
What TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fu1hlls every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing It, or bad
effects following use of liquor, VINE or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp. Root
is soon realized. It stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medicine
YOU should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in ffty-cent and oue-dollar sizes;

We haven't said anything lately re-
garding our ambition to be the next
president of the United States, but we
are keeping up q lot Of thinking all

the time comes. Nothing is too tall

We have been postmaster Of the
town for almost three years and have
been working hard all that time, and
yet it was only the other day that we
got the windows the old building

a clean spot on the floor. Uncle Sam

A keg of printers ink which was on

from the freight house at Lone Jack
the other day by half breed Indians
and eaten up for molasses. There
were i've persons in the plot, and all

take vacation and rest up after their
arduous labors.
AS mayor and postmaster Of the
town we must now and then take
bluff in order to maintain our dignity,
but as plain Jim Heilso we own mule
which can beat anything in. the west
on q half mile track, and We'll bet on
it.
Fifty bushels Of onions came into
town yesterday along with fourteen
barrels Of whisky, and for the next

locked against the general public. Any

The Lone Jack Recorder charges Us
with killing thirty-eight men since we

we are permitted to live on and swag-

Recorder man could easily have ascer-
aimed, the number Of men we have
had to lay away in self defense is only
fourteen, and in the next we are per-
mitted to live on because no one cares
to undertake the job of disposing Of US.
