Jeff Davis birthday, and Solicitor
Zimmerman has his hands full with a
number of very important cases which
it is said will take about three weeks
to dispose of with the business before

terest to our people is the Mitchell
Trotter case.
"Wilbur S. Mitchell and James
Trotter were good friends from Lees
vile. The two were here fair week.
While they were waiting at the Union
station for the same train home, Trot-

and finally slapped his face, Mitchell
wheeled upon him and shot him
through the heart. Mitchell is out on
bond. ."-Columbia Record.
There are six murder cases and of
these four are white men. The bond
cases are important and the solicitor

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
It was with great sorrow that the
sad news of the death of Mr.. B.
Frank Gardner was received here
today. His death occurred at the
home of his sister, Mrs. Geiger, near
Columbia, at 2 o'clock last night.
Mr.. Gardner lived here the greater
part of his time for the past six years,
and has many warm friends in the
town and community. He was a
gentleman of high character and will
be greatly missed wherever he was
known. Generous and true always;
frank and entertaining; it was easy
for him to win and retain friends
and scores of them will greatly miss
his cherry personality.
The deep sympathy of the entire
town goes out to his sorrowing ones
at this trying time. His remains will
be inferred at Columbia tomorrow.
Miss Sallie Rast left Saturday for

great number of victims, the casulties

If the young lady who dropped the

will call at this office she can obtain
the original copy and other papers of
interest. Here's the way it reads:
"Tell me not in idle jingle, marriage
is an empty dream, for girl is dead
that's single and things are not what
they seem. Life is real, life is earn
est, single blessedness fib; man thou
art to man returneth, has not been
spoken of the rib. Not enjoyment
and not sorrow is our destined end or
way, but act that each tomorrow finds
US nearer marriage day. Life is short
and youth is feeting, and our hearts
though light and gay, pleasant drums
are beating wedding marches all the
way. In the worlds broad field of
battle, in the bivouac of life, be not
like dunn driven cattle-be heroine
"a wife. Trust no future, however,
pleasant-le the dead past bury it's

heart within and hope Overhead! |!
Lives of married folks remind US we
can live our lives as well; and depart
ed leave behind us lots of kids to
shout and yell, such examples that
another, wasting time in idle sport, a
forlorn, unmarried brother, shall take
heart and court. Let US then be up
and doing, for We'll never give up yet,

Foreign Missionary society Of St. An
drew's church has again been called
upon to give up another one of it's de-
voted members. The sweet spirit of
Eula Agnes Huffman entered into its
eternal rest March %, 1906.
She was the joy and pride of her
home; in which there's now a place
that none can fill. While we miss
her sweet face and cheerful voice, we
express our gratitude to God for the
beautiful and devoted Christian life
which He enabled her to live. AS a
tribute to her memory, therefore, be
it resolved,
1st. That in her death our society
realizes that it has lost faithful and
earnest worker, and that we will ever
hold her in loving remembrance.
End. That though we lament our
great loss in her death we bow in
humble submission to the will of Him
who doeth all things for the best.
3rd. That we extend to her bereav-
ed father, mother, sister and brothers
our most sincere and heartfelt SYM
pathy, commencing them to the sus-
tanning grace of God.
4th. That copy of these resolutions
be sent to the family of the deceased
and that they be published in the
Lutheran Church Visitor and the Lex
ington Dispatch, and that a page in
our minute book be inscribed to her
memory. Miss Mayme Leitzsey,
Miss Ella Huffman,
