For various reasons which are obvious to the reader, the Auditor aDd Editor left Lexington in the afternoon of February 1st for the clay l*nd9 of the Fork sud as the shades of night were gathering dark aDd sombre we arrived at the home of our old friend, John B. Hiller, where we found a hearty welcome and a night of refreshing repose. We are glad to be able to chronicle the fact that the world wags well with John and that all his worldly interests are id a flourishing and prosperous condition. He is hale, hearty and saucy and a genial and hospitable boat. On Monday morning we met the taxpayers at Mr. Jesse Wessinger's and after the cares snd vexations of - . i a n business transactions were laia asiae for the time beiDg, we engaged in a pleasant, social chat with uncle Jesse. He is as sprightly as a young colt under its first saddle and is an interesting talker. After completing our work at this point the Auditor was compelled to abondon the trip and return to the Court House, so as to assist in drawing the jury for February term of court as required by law. He appointed our young friend JobDnie Green Hiller, the popular Infcendanfc of the ambitious town of Hilton, bis deputy to receive returns at Uncle Josh Sbealy's, at which place we arrived to complete our work by 4 o'clock in the after noon Oq account of the bad condition of the roads we concluded to "play rouDdance" and returned to the home of Mr. Hiller by devious settlement roads, where we spent the night and for the second night we woed "nature's sweet restore? balmy sleep" beneath that hospitable roof. i Next morning accompanied by Mr. B. B. Hiller we pulled out. for Chapin and on arriving there we found everybody cheerful, happy and contented with the gifts the gods gave them, j The town is prosperous. The large ! lumber business and planing plant o' Mr. Roberson gives employment to many persons and contributes largely to the business interest of the place. Capt. Frick's ginnery and grist mill are doing good business. The merchants are enjoying a liberal share of the trade of the surP-.A ~ rounding country which is one of the most thriving and prosperous sections of our couDty. Wewereplaced under obligations to Mr. J. S. Wes- ! singer for kindness and attentions shown us and we hereby ackcowledge our grateful appreciation cf j tbem. Mr. Banks Hiller. who received j returns for the Auditor, aDd conI tinued to do so for tne balance of the j trip completing hi? w.ork, we "lit out" ! for Mr. Ferry Fulmer's and were j kindlv taken care of bv himself and estimable family and their kindness j to us will ever lffcger in our memory as a pleasant memento in life's dreary j waste. Our next point was the Cross Roads where we served the good people of that section in due time. . J. H. Frick, F. q., is the principal of ??? 2 large and flourishing school at this ! point and is giving general satisfac- j tion to both patrons and pupils. The afternoon was spent in the town of Peak comfortably roomed and well fed at the Peak Hotel, of which Mrs. Stuck is the presiding genius. This town enjDys a very good trade from Fairfield, Newberry and Lexington counties. Its mer- j chants are live and progressive, clever and accommodating and are i S. T. Swygert, W. H Suber, Wessenger & Epting. The school at i this place is under the charge of Miss Mary Swygert, a lady of rare ' culture and accomplishment, and is | popular with all the people. Mr. ! JohnDy Mayer is the dispenser and i be faithfully tracts the law in all his ! dealings. After spending the night 1 and taking returne next morning, at I 12 o'clock sharp, wfe made our way to | Spring Hill. The roads in this part j of the county as well as in the other ! sections of the county, on account of so much rain, are in a wretched con- j dition. We reached Spring Hill on time and took an inventory of the ! wealth of its people and gathered in j a few dollar8. Night found us comfortably situ- j ated in the pleasant home of our j friend and companion during the j trip of the week, Mr. Banks Hiller, j and for bis entertainment we return !

The "cartwheels" of the editor must have got stuck in the mud last week and he could not get home. He com- \ muned with his Fork friends Sunday and this writer is of the opinion that "he" and "Uncle Jake," "Aunt Walter" and "Brother Paul"?three I of the mighty fisherman of the land of the catfish and the 6turgeor-held j council of war and formulated plans i for an early spring campaign against 1 suckers and minnows in the Edisto. | Time, the great developer of all I things that cast their shadows before, will be our witness when the dog ; wood blossoms. . . : : I OFFER | My entire stock of goods, consisting of a well selected lioe of General J Merchandise, at Pelion, either in balk with good will, or at retail at ! and below cost.

My reason for placing this valaa- ! ble property on the market is that I I intend to invest in another State.

Monday morning had hard luck. | At Gilbert there were five box care j derailed, which were finally gotten bick upon the track. A little fur- j tker on the first-class coach caught fire on the top and necessitated a i further delay. It finally took the j train eight and one-half hours to make the trip to Augusta. Fresh Fish. I will have for sale an assortment of fresh fish every Tuesday and j Saturday at J. W. Long's Old Store. ; Give me a call when you want a nice mess of fresh fish. tf John A.
