(ForThe Ledger. DptimU8 on an Outing in Western North Carolina. Only those who have experisnced an outing among the moun ains of Western North Carolina, mow the anticipations of such a rip for weeks, and even months, >efore it occurs. We have been snjoying such outings for a num>er of Summers, and had planned me for July, this Summer, but >wing to ill health and other :auses, we did not get our expecations realized, uutil Sept 1st; vhen we boarded the eaily train m the SAL and with the early lawn, bid good bye to Van Wyck ind a few friends, who came out o the depot to see us off. This September morning, the uir was 500I and bracing, and creatly enoyed, aftei being housed up for leveral hot Summer months. Wo lad a tedious wait of one and half lours at Monroe, when the C C lulled up and wo boarded it for Liincolnton. This train was pretty veil filled with passengers for the iprings, and other Summer retorts. At Liucolnton, the depot was thronged with hackmen and iveryraen, anxious to carry passengers to the hotels and springs. \s we had to use a crutch, we were more besieged than any ithers, and one extra, polite Iriver, smiling addressed us: Boss, 1 know you are going out o Lithia Springs, 1 have the best carriage and the best pair of horses n town, I wants the job of taking (Ton out there." Those who mow our propensities for good rehicles, fast horses and good things, know such an invitation was hard to resist. After a three lours wait at Lincolnton, we hoarded the Narrow Gauge for Newton, arriving there at 2 I'clock p ui where we found a team awaiting us,and were driven out in the country, seven miles to our boyhood home and tramping grounds, where we are enjoying pure mountain air, chrystal water ind living on the fat of the land. At Newton, we noticed a number of little fruit venders at the train with baskets of jieaches, (the irst we had seen this season,) which they sell, two for a nickel. The fruit looked luscious, of ordilary size, and sold readily. These ittle fruit sellers, have had a bonanza in their business, owing :o the scarcity, and great demand for fruit. The peach crop in this country, was medium fair, and javc the lucky ones, a nice in;ome from their orchards. The ;rop was easily marketed at one lollar per bushel. The apple :rop in the mountains, is good, md will soon be on market, which will bring the growers a nice evenuo, as good prices are expected. Field crop here, and all ilong our line of travel, are very >oor, in fact the poorest we have ver seen. We have seen lni-<?o r* ields of corn, that will not make >ne bushel to the acre, and some hat will not make the need that ,vas planted. The cotton crop is ilso very poor, and rapidly, paouaturely opening. The pea vine ind hny crop are almost total failures. These crops failures lere, do not mean for these pecilc, what they would mean for >ur South Carolina farmers. While it is a heavy loss for them, hey have lived at home, and do lot belong to aome one else. (Jo o their railroad station, and see vhat ia loaded and unloaded from he ?ars, and you can forai some dea of the condition of the reninry. You will ?ee cars being oaded with flour, wheat, lumber, chickens, eggs, butter, fi uits and ind many other kinds of produce, while improved farming implerient*, manufactured goods and narchandise, not eatables, are beog unloaded for this country's use The sweet potato crop has I become one of the important j money crops of this country. Farmers raise thousands of bushels, which are marketed from Jan uary to J une at fair prices. Nearly every farm has its potato house, for storing and saving this crop. The houses are built something on the plan of an ice house, with arrangements for keeping the : the temjierature at the same, by I heating or ventillating in the coldest or hottest of weather. The < weather has been too dry for this < crop, but farmers say they expect better returns from it, than anything they have grown this season. | From our car windows, we noticed at every city, town and sta- j tion. new bnililinr?c ""inn !?? I , "I'j [ and a general appearance of thrift and prosperity; while in the conn try along the line of travel, farms, ( on the most part, presented the appearance of desolation. Such 1 being the case, we are not surprised at the tendency of farmers leaving the country, and moving to the towns. OPTIMUS. 4 Helava." I Arkansas Thomas Cat. The next dictionary published will contain many new words, among them the word "helava." When a man knocks around town until 3 o'clock in the morning and then gets up with a headache like 1 a molasses barrel and breath like a slaughter house, he always says he had a helava time. The word is a good one and should have a place in the dictionary. Our readers recollect that we have lately chronicled the death of two sons of Mr W E Funder- 1 hurk of Rock Rest. They l>oth died of fever. The sympathy of all will go out to Mr and Mrs Fundertiurk when they learn that they have also lost their daughter, of the same dread disease. Mattie Lee died last Saturday. She was a bright, good child, only twelve years old. ? Monroe Journal. I Keep _ I coughing ? -We know of nothing better to tear the lining of your throat and lungs.
