70 Subscr;b bers.

We have just completed our annual
trip with the county treasurer and our
collections have fallen far below what
they should have been. We have car
ried the names of many subscribers
on our list through the summer, at
a time when money was scarce and
hard to get, with heavy paper bills
and help to pay, and we feel that it is
now but just and right that every sub
scriber should come up or send by
mail and pay for his paper.
As>you doubtless know the postof-
fee department has new law which
forbids any publisher sending news
paper to a subscriber for more than
one year without payment. The Dis
patch has no choice in the matter,
and therefore we ask that you pay
the amount which you owe. Please
do not consider this ''dun," and do
not think it good time to, quit the
paper. We want you to continue to
subscribe for and read our paper, for
we think it is one of the very best
weekly papers in the State for the
money. It is worth much more than
one dollar year to you, and if you
have family, ten times that much to
your children. We try to give the
news, and we endeavor to preach the
truth, honesty, good government,
morality, education, improvements
and progress. By spending your dol
lar year with The Dispatch you aid
US in publishing a real newspaper,
and get far more than your moneys
worth.
Think of this, of the good paper you
are getting for small amount, and
send US your renewal at once, please.

Good Advice From the
Yorkvil1e Inquirer.

'Why don't the southern people
have sense enough to recognize cotton
seed oil as the principal basis of prac-
tically all the so-called lard they are
now using and go in directly for cot
ton seed oil rather than lard?
"We confess our inability to give
satisfactory answer to this. question.
The chemist tells us that there is no
harm in cotton seed oil, and practical
experience not only tells us that it
measures upto every requirement of
Lard, but that it is juss as wholesome
and ever so mach cleaner. Butt still
we have aprej,sdice against the oil and
won't use-it untai the ncgthern packer
has mixed it with more or less ques-
tionable hog fat, labeled it under q diff
ferent name and sold it back tous att
higher price. By Ssle way, is it not
possible that our oBiectioD to costou
seed oA in food is really a. matter of
Yankee suggestion9 If there we're amy
way to trace the maHerto the bottom
this is sbeutwhatwe would &ld.. And
yet, it is as plain as then nose on ones
face thatif the southern people would
assume a frank, open. attitude toward
the subjeet, determine on the use of
cotton seed oil themselves, trag on it
and do all in their power to remove
the prejxdaices of others, the result
would be z<still more wholesome pro-
duct than We are now gettingaamuch
less cost.

Dear Sir and Brother:
I herewith send you one dollar for

I think of you and many others
that left our homes to battle for oar
State Rights, in 1861, when we gave
up our dear homes and friends to do
duty for those left behind.
We left in April the latter part,
under Capt. Moultrie Gibbs, and join
ed Col. Maxcy Gregg's regiment, at
Richmond, Va, and from there we
went to Manassas, being then the ad-
vance forces of the Potomac and doing
duty in the face Of the enemy, and I
know you muss not have forgotten
|; the Sunday evening we helped to
!; fight that battle at Vieana, On the
. Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Made
the enemy run and captured prisoners
and property and q spy, aud where
Kemper's battery did some fine can
non shots at a moving train as it
rolled up. This is claimed ~ the first
battle of the war.
Alter serving; our SIX months time
around Manassas, Bull Run, Centre
vile and Fairfax court house, in front
of Alexander, we then came home and
joined the old 10th S.. G. regiment and
did Gun duty oa the coast, taking the
gun .seat,, L.. p Smith,. on the inlet
west of, James, Island, and then I'm the
seage of Battery Wagner. Prom
thereto, Virginia., meeting the. enemy
at Cold Harbes,, and then around
Petersburg and. up. in. the valleys.
From there we were sent TO Join Gen.
johnson at Charleston anawere there
when the Islands and city were exae-
uated, and fought the enemy step by

Generally speaking, the business
conditions of the farmers and business
men throughout the county are good,
and there is even signs of better times
ahead. OF course, some sections are
more fortunate than others in this re-
spect, but we find it this way every
year. The farmers are sowing great
deal of small grain this year-more
than usual and it seems to be the gen
eral idea of all the farmers to divers
ify, and to raise their own supplies at
home, and in doing this they are act
Ing wise. There is great amount Of
cotton being held for higher prices,
and this, Of course, accounts for the
scarcity Of money. Our people,
though, are in prosperous condition
and are determined to make the next
year still more prosperous.
