We began our annual trip over county with County Treasurer E. L, Wingard on last Tuesday, our fir*fc point being Irmo. Here we were comfortably cared for in the hospitable home of Mr. John W, Hook, in whom there is no better host in the county. The people turned out about as usual and t,h? t,rfi?snrer's collections were fairly good. Irmo is growing, and her merchants are enjoying a good fall trade. The people in the vicinity of | Irmo are enjoying a season of prosperity, the crops having been fairly good. This town ha9 been "cutout," of the proposed territory to be annexed to Richland. Our next point was Ballentine, where a good crowd met us, and the collections were gocd. Tuesday night we spent at Whtte Rock in the very comfortable home of our true and tried friend, D. A. Richardson. We regretted very much find Mr. Richardson very much indisposed. He has been confined to his bed for several days as the result of a fall. A small crowd met us here, and the afternoon was spent at Hilton. We dined with Mr9. R. B. Hiller, and enjoyed her excellent dinner to the fullest extent. There is no better cook in the Dutch Fork than Mr9. Hiller, and she knows how to entertain her guests. A small number of taxpayers mains at Hilton. tAll of Thusrday was spent at Chapin, and the treasurer wa9 kept busy from the time he opened his book9 in the morning until he closed late in the afternoon. This is one of the Dest towns in the Fork, and a greatdeal of business is transacted here. The town is growing rapidly, many buildings being now under course of erection. Since our last visit to Chapin a handsome and commodious school building has been built. This is without doubt one of the best school buildings in the county. Prof. Kibler, of Newberry, is principal, and under his leadership the school is doing most excellent work. The Bank of Chapin, J. S. Wessinger president and J. F. Honeycutt, cashier, is in a most flourishing condition. While at Chapin we were the guests of Mr. P. M. Frick, at the hotel, where you always get something good to eat and where the beds are tidy and comfortable. Friday morning we were at Peak. This was our last point in the Fork, and the attendance here was quite up to usual number. The town is holding its own and the people, as a rule, are happy and cnnteuted. Leaving Peak in the afternoon we came to Columbia by rail, spent the night and reached home early Saturday morning. We found the people in good shape, most of the farmers Having raised good crops of corn, cotton and grain. ^ ^ C 4-V. ?

The collections with the merchants have been exceedingly good, and they, of course, are in the best of spirits.
