Grandfather Separates Them.

Belle Isaacs and Steve Driver Payne of Noble Lake were married recently in Pine Bluff following an elopement. Immediately after the ceremony the brides grandfather, MT. Isaacs of Noble Lake, who had been pursuing the couple from the time they left their home, took the young bride away from her husband, declaring that she was a mere child and "o'er young to marry yet" Miss Isaacs has the appearance of being about 13 years old and is still attired in short dresses. Young Payne, whose home is said to be in Memphis, but who is employed by Isaacs at Noble Lake, would not remain away from the girl, although her grand father demanded that he do so. He said he would stand by her, no mat ter what comes." He returned to Noble Lake on the same train as the grandfather and his bride

are constantly being received by Mrs. Pinkham to prove our claims.
 Mrs. c. A. Redwood, teacher of Parliamentary Law, of 58 Free St., Fredonia, N. Y., writes:
 ''For years suffered with female trouble. It was decided that an operation was neces- sary, and although submitted to a serious operation my sufferings continued, until Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was recommended and it proved marvellous remedy, so quickly did it restore my health. 1 cannot thank you sufficiently for the good it has done me-"
 Miss Margaret Tierney, of No. BPS w. 25th Street, New York, writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
 ''When only eighteen years of age our physician decided that an operation was necessary to permit of my womanly organs performing their natural functions My mother objected and being urged by relative to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Veget- able Compound did so. l soon improved in health, the proper conditions were establish ed and 1 am we'll and strong, thanks to Lyiia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound" "
 No other remedy has such un- qualified endorsement as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. No other remedy in the world has such a record of cures of female ills.

Skull Crushed In.

w. w. Orr, young man living at Mt. Moria, 12 miles southeast of Pres. colt, was found dead upon the floor of the barn, with his skull crushed in. The manner in which he met his death is still mystery, though several theories have been advanced. One is that he was murdered, but this idea has been almost abandoned by the officers. Another theory is that he fell from loft in the barn, and still another, which the officers are inclined to believe is that he was kicked by . mul0-

Notes from Newberry College.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
Quite a number of college students,
including the writer, and friends of
Newberry College attended the State
Oratorical Contest held in Greenwood
last Friday night. The President of
the G. N. & L. R. R., gave a special
train from Clinton to Newberry for
the accommodation of so or more peo-
pie on their return from Greenwood.
Many persons YER surprised at the
result of the ball game here today be-
tween Newberry and Clemson. New
berry made one run and got seven
hits on Clemson; Clemson made five
runs and got nine hits on Newberry.
Our pitcher haYing struck out twelve
men in a game the day before with
Wofford accounts for such a defeat,
Newberry defeating Wofford the day
before. Clemson played Furman the
day before, but saved her best pitcher
for Newberry. This is the first game
we have lost.
Messrs. M. L. Wheeler, J. E. Barre,
Gussie Barre, and Frank Vineyard
were some of Lexington's boys who
came to see the ball game.

Waycross, Ca, April 2s.-Accord-
ing to the verdict of the coroner's

dead, a bullet having entered his
breast near the heart. The body was
about 70 feet from the building in

: Death Of Miss Taylor.

Miss Sallie Taylor, the 1S-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Vastine
Taylor, died at her fathers home in
Batesburg Friday, after<an illness of
one week of pneumonia. She was
buried on Saturday at Salem Luth-
eran church, on Hollow creek.
No one can explain why such a
young girl, as was Miss Taylor, should
be called from this life at eighteen.
She had not thought that was not a
gentle one, not one that did not hold
all the world in the arms Of its kind
iness. She was the light of the eyes
of a great company of relatives and
friends, and the light has now gone
out. To them she was what the sun
shine is to the world, and this eclipse
I to them brings both darkness and
chill.
Her funeral was pathetic beyond
expression, for not one, as the last
good-byes were said, but that felt that
q loss had been sustained for which
there is no compensation.
May time bring its resignation, and
may the shores of eternity that re-
ceives her soul, surround it with ever
lasting sunshine and flowers. The
family have our sympathies in their
sad LOGS.
