Iruo Notes.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
It is hardly necessary to say that
during the past week we have had an
abundance of rain and a great deal
of damage has been done both to
lands and crops. Coming before the
small grain crop had been fully har-
vested, it caused some damage to
some of this, and held off work from
growing crops more than a week,
thereby putting many farmers badly
in the grass. If it should stop now it
will be several days before plowing
can be resumed and then there will
be no time to rest for the next two or
three weeks.
Vegetables are plentiful, but the
fruit crop is almost failure. What
few peaches we have are only poor
apology.
Snail like, Irmo is crawling along.
Mr.. Jesse Meetze, who is an excel
lent carpenter, has moved into our
town and has all the work he can do.
With a force of carpenters he is re-
modelling MIR. H. A. Lorick's resi-

dence and is also remodeling and
building a residence for Mr.. H. E.
McEntire, on the lot formerly owned
by Mr.. J. 8. Meetze. Mr.. McEntire
intends moving into our town soon.
There are other improvements to fol-
low soon.
SATURDAY. night, the 18th inst, Mr..
Tommie Shealy entertained quite a
number of his friends at an ice cream
festival at his home and all report a
pleasant time.
Mr.. H. G. Lorick, of Augusta, Ca,
is visiting his mother and other rela-
tives here.
Mr.. Forest Suber, of Columbia, was
visiting his mother here Sunday.
The Misses Jimmie Vansant, Eula
Matthias and Bannie Smith are home
from college spending their vacation,
and Mr.. Homer Matthias and Mr..
Berley Koon also.
Mr.. Tim Weed is still very low at
the home of his son, Mr.. Sam T.
Weed, near Irmo.
Some of our people are preparing
to take trip to the springs and
mountains in July and August, both
for health and pleasure. We know
of no better place and wish we we're
there now.
This year is the great harvesting of
candidates and what shall the harvest
be-? Each one will ride some hobby
and bring some kind of an offering,
and how shall we know whom to vote
for? These questions are more i'm
portant than we may at first suppose.

of Asheville, N. c., have recently

Notes from Gilbert.

Since the excessive rains farm work
is being pushed, grass has taken fine
hold and is looking as if it has reached
the fertilizer. Crops of both corn and
cotton are unusually fine, and promise
a good harvest. Peas have been ex-
tensively planted and are coming to
the very best stands with enough
grass to make excellent hay. The
small grain is being threshed and the
yield very satisfactory.
Many visitors have been in town
recently and enjoyed the quietness of
this place. The streets were crowded
Saturday evening by the passengers
on the late train it being delayed here
by a wreck of the north bound freight
a few miles below here. This wreck
consisted of six cars mostly loaded
with lumber. It seems no one was
seriously hurt.
Many farmers around Gilbert seem

How horrible his mental condition
must have been at that time can be
imagined, Cor he thought that all
occupants upstairs would perish.
The persons upstairs were his daugh-
ter, Miss Virginia, his two sons, Vernon
and Howell, his father in-law, Rev.
J. z. Howell and two young men in
his employ Messrs. Zeno Mann and
J. L. Cherry.
Upon realizing his inability to get
upstairs and warn the occupants of
their danger, Mr.. Kyser states he was
paralyzed with horror to such an ex-
tent that in attempting to sound an
alarm he could only make a gurgling
noise. He aroused his wife and they
brought out their young son. The ex-
perience of those upstairs was thrill
ling and exciting to say the least of It.
Miss Virginia upon opening her door
was met with fire and smoke. She
thought the only way to escape was
to burst through the flames so she
brayely ran through them and receiv-
ed painful, but not serious burn.
Mr.. Howell and Vernon and Howell
escaped by crawling out Of a window
into the front porch and letting them
selves down by tree the limbs of
which were overleaning the porch.
Messrs. Mann and Cherry escaped by
climbing down the sewer pipe. ALI
escaped shoeless and almost naked.
In the meantime a small crowd had
gathered and in about 20 minutes after
the alarm a stream of water was turn
ed on from the water works. But the
pressure was not strong enough to put
the fire out and it mounted higher
and higher and soon the gentle breeze
blowing lifted huge sparks on high.
Fortunately a rain had wet house tops
and there was little danger of the
sparks setting fire to other houses.
The fire engine was finally gotten to
work and as usual this did the work.
The fire company worked hard and
kept house adjoining not more than
Is feet away from burning. Mr..
Kyser's house and practically all his
f1r.oitI,re were consumed The total
loss is estimated at $4,000, with insur-
ance S4,250.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
It originated in the kitchen.-The

Mrs. Rebecca Lown shu!l.

The subject of this notice was born
in Lexington county, July 9th, 1927,
and died at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. Sarah A. Glenn, Columbia, s. c.,
June S, 1906, making her earthly pill
grimage seventy-nine years, ten
months and twenty-nine days.
Her early training in piety led her
to connect herself with the Lutheran
church, of which she was a member
till her marriage, when she then
joined Hebron Methodist church, of
which she lived consistent member
till her death.
In 1S4S she was happily married to
Mr.. Martin A. Shull, to them were
born nine children, eight of whom
survive her. Her husband, one son
and grandson, preceded her to the
Spirit Land.
For the last two years she was lit
tie more than an invalid, and at times
experienced periods of sickness at
tended with great suffering. She never
complained of her lot, but passed on
through life with marvellous patience
and wonderful cheerfulness.
She was an affectionate wife and
devoted mother and sister. Eight
children and one brother, Mr.. J. J.
Lown, mourn her loss.
AS neighbor, too, she was ever
kind and thoughtful, always ready
and willing when physically able, to
visit the sick and administer to their
wants.
Death came in the quiet hours of
early morn, just at the dawn of day,
it found her ready to obey the sum-
mons. So she cheerfully laid down
the work which was committed to her,
and bidding farewell to the things of
this world, "fell asleep in Jesus"
After all that was mortal of Mrs.
Shull was placed in the casket and be-
reaved ones had taken the last look
on the placid feature before them,
which would soon be shut off forever
in this world, the lid was placed on,
and silently her body was laid to rest
in Hebron church yard. Funeral SER
vices were conducted by the pastor,
Rev. Leslie.
Floral decorations were profuse and
beautiful, and tastily arranged in fit
emblems for the grave.
This writer feels the death of this
good woman to be personal loss, and
asks the prayers Of Gods people that
ne would heal the bleeding hearts of
bereaved ones. Earth has no sorrow
that Heaven cannot heal"

Main Street Lot Brings High
Price.
Building at Southwest Corner of Main
and BIanding Streets Sold to
E.T. Hendrix.

The lot and building at the south
west corner of Main and Blanding
streets was sold yesterday for $25, 900.
The building was bought from Mr..
Jos. r. Allen and Mrs. w. 81. Monck-
ton, Jr., as part of the Allen estate,
by Mr.. E. T. Hendrix and number
of improvements will be made on the
stores so that it will be ready for oc-
cupancy by September. The lot runs
back 20S feet and has a frontage of
about 80 feet. It is regarded as one
of the most important of recent real
estate transactions in Columbia and
was sold through Mr.. W. J. Conway.
It is rather a peculiar fact in con-
nection with this purchase, and the
statement that Mr.. E. T. Hendrix will
soon occupy it, that about 25 years
ago the store was known as "Hen-
drix's Corner'' and grocery store
was then run by Mr.. s. N. Hendrix,
father-in-law of the present pur-
chaser.-The State, June 10.
Mr.. Edwin T. Hendrix is son of

to note his success in business, which
continues to grow in popularity.

the flag of success every time.-The
