The Man a Printer Loves. There is a man the printer loves. And he Is woDdrous wise ; Whene'er he writes the printer man. He dottetb all his l's. And when he dotted all ot them, W ith carefulness and ease. He punctuates each paragraph, And crosses all hl6 t's. ITnon nne side Alone he wrlt.es. And never rolls bis leaves ; And from the man c( ink a smile. And mark "Insert" receives. ADd when a question he doth ask? Taught wisely he batn been? He doth the goodly penny stamps For postage back put in. He gives the place from which he writes? His address the printer needs? And plainly writes his honored name, So tie that runneth reads. He reads, revises, reads corrects, And re-writes all again ; And keeps one copy safe, And sends one to the printer man. So let all those who long to write Take pattern by this man? With Jet black Ink and paper white, Do just the best they can; And then tbe printer man Rball know And bless them as his friends All through llfes journey as they go, Until that Journey ends. -Tit-Bits. A TRIP JO HIS OLD HOME. Rpt. (I. V. Barnes Comes Bnck to the Spot of Hl? Nativity?Everything: In Chanced?The Home 1m Gone? The Fountain is dry?Many Familiar Faces are no Longer Seen? fally Met?Grave Ytird TaIk. Mr. Editor:?Having been favored lately with tbe opportunity of visiting my old borne and church (Sharon) on Calboun's creek In Abbeville county, I thought 1 would place at your disposal a brief account of myTrip. On Saturday morning, the 6th Inst., I paused by way of Barnetts' bridge and Warrenton, down Little River over rough and zigzag roads to Sharon church, where services had been announced for that day. Arriving before lime for services, I visited the graves of my parents, and other relatives and friends who bad been buried in tbe cemetery near by. As 1 passed from tomb to tomb and read the epitaphs of so many whom I once knew and with whom I was so Intimately associated In my youthful days, I could scarcely restrain tbe rUlng tear. Tbe following are some o) tbe families represented there: Hills, Barnes, ZlmmermanB, Penneys, Parsleys, Kameys, Lockbridgts, Hammonds, Wardlaws, D las, Edwards. Manns, McNells^Johnstons, Brooas, with many otbere I do not now call to mind. 1 noticed many graves with no headstone to tell of those who sleep beneath, and who are likely known to only a few of tbe older citizens. It would be well If tbe graves could be marked before It is too late for their Identification. This cemetery is enclosed by wire fencing fastened to bewn rock post, and is a model of cleanliness and beauty. During tbe present year 1891, tbe progressive and good people of that community have k built a new, large and commodious church, JU81 in rear ui tue uiu uiib. vruu iliib uew and somewhat Improved structure, and the well kept grounds around, tne place seems more attractive tban ever before. It would be difficult to find a more beautiful church lot any where. The people'of that community ought to be proud of their place of worship, and I suppose they are. According to tbe most reliable traditional accounts, there has been an organized church at that place for neariy.or quite, eighty years, or even longer. The first building was an bumble log structure wblch in tjme gave place to a more pretentious framed bouse. After tbe lapse of flfty-flve or sixty years, this was removed the present year for the new bolldlng. Rev. W. H7 Ariail, the present pastor, is the suooessorof quite a number of ministers who have served that church, and who, like all, or most of bis predecessors. Is in favor with the people. In tbe afternoon .Saturday, I visited the old homestead, tbe exact spot of my nativity; but the dwelling and all ont buildings having been long since removed, and the land put under cultivation, there was nothing left to mark tbe place, except a few rock where stood one of tbe chimneys. I would not at all have recognized tbe placd If I bad not known where I was. I desired to find the old spring my father dug out of a rock, wblch supplied us with water. (There were tew wells in thoBe days.) It bad however been so wasbed over by sand, and onvered with grow log vegitatlon, it coaia not be founa. so i missed the very great pleasure I anticipated, of taking another drink of water ;out ot the old fitmliy spring, one that had been carried oat by my father's own hands. These may seem small matters to some, but of much Interest to me, and I doubt not would be to many others under like circumstances. Reader, If yon have been a long time from your native home, Just Imagine for a moment how you would leel to visit again that old home, drink water out of the spring or well, - sit under the old oaks, and view the many objects that so often greeted your vision In childhood days. "There is no place like home," and a native home at that. Sunday morning I worshiped again with the congregation at Sharon, and met a goodly number of my old friends and relatives. But a large majority ol the older citizens have either died or moved away. Comparatively, I saw bnt few familiar faces. The next object of Interest was the old 8haron camp ground. This was established in 1840 or Ml, and after regular annual meetings up to 1S51, was burned down in March, 1852, by flrejextending from a contiguous new ground. The place is now owned by Mr. Bass and is partly In woods and partly under cultivation. Mr, Bass' bouse stands In front of the old arbor. Signs of tent chimneys and was about gone. I spent nearly two days very pleasantly with kindreu and friends In the nelgnborbood of my old home. Would have been much pleased to have stayed Iongor, and enjoyed ibelr company and hospitality, but dutv called me away. Monday evening I went with Rev. W. H. Arlall to bis parsonage home in Abbeville, and spent a few hours very pleasantly with him and his estimable wife and family. In the afiernoon the rain, which began the Ight before, Increased and I spent the night with oousln John G. Edwards while the rain deoended and the wind blew." After supper, we, with others, who were Dresent, discussed old time, places, events, incidents and people, until the clock on the mantle reminded us of approaching midnight. John is a somewhat connecting link between the present and the past generation of merchants In Abbeville, and from long experience I guess is well posted In the quality and prices of goods. Tuesday morning brought no abatement ol wind and rain, ana so having to remain ovei 1 bad the pleasure of calling on Judge MoUtowan, a former triend and counsellor of my father and family; Mr. Hugh Wilson, editor of the "Press and Banner," another friend and army comrade; W. H. Parker, Esq., and Judge Lyon, two other former acquaintaucetand fellow solders. Was glad to find these all looking well and hearty and doing well. Abbeville seems to be "lengthlng her cords and strengthening hir stakes," especially in that portion of town I entered. The once unoccupied lots west, are now tilled with buildings of different kinds, among them the A. R. Presbyterian, Episcopal and Baptist churches. It is pleasant to see mora' and religious prosperity keeping pace with material. By the YVttJ 10 uub nuucfiuc CH^IUIC to lUf HUB OJ city? So I thought and asked a? I passed through. The merchants seem to ue well supplied with goods, likely quite enough to supply the demand, if not exceed it, with cotton at 5 cents. So far lis tested, quality and prices compare favorably with other markets; and it Is not likely that Abbevlllians would be benefited by leaving their home market to seek better elsewhere. After dining with my nephew and namesake C. V. Hammond and bis kiDd family, 1 went out to Bpend the night with Joseph Hammond, another nephew living a mile or so out of town. Wednesday morniDg, having cleared ofl and looking bright and cheerful, I turned my lace homeward, and that night just after dark I heard a voice say, "And you've eot home at last," and it was the voice of one who batshared in my 'Joys and sorrows, ups and towns, for over thirty years, and she was fight, for I was at home.
