Billy Felix's Letter.
To the Editor Of The Dispatch:

To the Editor Of The Dispatch:
The recent cool weather cast
damper on little cotton which caused
it to look discouraging, but the gentle
south winds and warm nights make it
look more encouraging.
A large congregation Worshipped
here Sunday. Among the congrega-
ton was Ex-senator w. II. Sharpe of
Ednunds. Ex-Representative P. E.
Hutto, from Swansea, accompanied
by his excellent family, was also in
attendance.
Several new boarders and patrons
have arrived in town and on route 1
recently at the homes of J. II. Price,
S. P. Harsey and II. J. Sharpe. The
first named is voter; the latter two
are matrons. The fond parents are
deelighgted over the new comers and
we'll they should be.
A crazy dog put in some damaging
and dtelling work at the beautiful home
of our esteemed friend J. W. Reeder,
biting his two dogs and killing ten
head of chickens for Mrs. J. j. Rec
der.
Everybody is looking forward to
the 20th-the fish-frye ard cue of G.
S. Goodwin's at Prof. Smiths pond.
Mrs. Malachia Sharpe is in a crit
ical condition, suffering from cancer
and ulcers.
Paul J. Kneece, the champion hawk
killer, bagged one recently measuring
more than six feet from tip to tip.
Misses Bertha and Maude, the two
charming daughters of friend j. V.
Hutto. were the guests Of Misses Bes
sic and Ludie Fallaw recently.
r. j. Fallaw, one Of our best citi-
zens, has been confined to bis room
for the past two weeks, but under the
skillful treatment of DR.. l.. G. Brooker
we are happy to report that he is i'm
proving.
Postmaster Hartley and P. E. Hutto
made business trip to Columbia
few days ago.
Mrs. Estelle Moore killed 80 black
birds at one shot and said if she had
had another loaded shell she would
have killed the balance of the drove.
Supervisor Langford was in our
community recently in the discharge
of his official duties and said that he
would have the chaingapg here soon.
We certainly need something. Some
of our public roads can't be dietin-
guished from settlement roads, 80 far
as being worked is concerned. Some
people-unthoughtedly-will plow out
into the public roads which they
ought not to do. - -
On the evening of the 9Th a. party
of neighbors and relatives gathered at
the beautiful and lovely home OF J: F.
Fallaw and enjoyed an Ice cream fes-
tival. Friend Joseph and his inter,
esting little family know how to .,en.
tertain and make you have q good
time. -
The Boynton school, under the man
agement of Prof. r. v. Sawyer and
his cultured sister, came to . close
with imposing ceremonies on Friday
evening, the 7th, by the children and
picnic on Saturday and addresses
by prominent men. -
Mr.. Editor, come down on the Goth.
and get you big fish. G. S. Good
win, that nimrod hunter and king
fisherman, will give YOU good old
time. The price of shares has been
reduced from s. to; 81. The pond haAs
not been drawn in thirteen years ans
we think there are some big mossy
back trout in there.
]. w. Sharpe captured 19-pound
fish last Saturday and of course Mrs.
Sharpe didn't forget the carrier with
some ready for picnicing.
Mrs. M. L. Rister remembered the
Felix family with a lot of fine sweet
potatoes, while Mrs. O. J. Rickard
presented the carrier with mess of
fine cabbage. All Of these tokens of
kind remembrance tighten the bur
dens OF a weary carrier and gives him
new zeal to render better service.
The health of the happy Felix fam
lily at this writing is excellent.
