Leaving the little town of Lexington on the evening of "Wednesday last, I boarded the train and went over to the city, where I spent the night. Thursday morning I again boarded the train, and soon after set foot npon the fertile soil at that noted little place, Hope Station. Here I met that well-known and worthy old gentleman, Mr. De Hihns. After conversing with him a few minutes, I made my way to the residence of that generoos-hearted gentleman. Mr. Hope A. Dickert I found him and his good lady enjoying anhmdid haalth and as hanDV and cheerful as always. This section was one of the first settled in Lexington connty, and is well noted as the garden spot of oar county. This red, fertile soil prodaces well, and the people live independently. While they do not think themselves too good to do any honest j and honorable work, still they labor ! not as the inhabitants of the Sand Hills. An old crabgra?s scratcber of the Sand Hills woald become immensely rich, if it were possible that he could labor upon bis own possessions in this neighborhood. Cotton iB king .here; and how profitably could this rich soil be made to yield an abundance of corn, peas, rice and other products, which do not receive very much attention, remains to be seen. St. John's church is near here, and it deserves notice as one of the oldest churches in our connty. It was reared some time daring the earlier part of 1800, and still it stands to reHfc ceive its oocgregaiions of good Latheron worshipers. rMr. Miller, who does a very extensive business in the city of Greenville, in the mercantile lice, is on a visit to relatives and friends. He is a perfect type of monntain health. Mr. James Hope, one of the most wealthy and influential gentlemen of this section, has a daughter at school in Virginia. She will graduate and return to cheer the bearte^Qf parents and friends as a sparkling ray of pleasure at home and an ornament to fc society. The little town of Peakes is in a jfcj^nerous condition. It has several ^HH^BHHHHfl^^Btett^xtensive business, ofwck^. ' "v r.^iN-A7/.->* >. ' wSv^ -Mf ' was in existence, boi a look at the rosy-cheeked inhabitants would aooo change bis idea. A doctor who would locate here with the expectation of living by his practice, doubtlees would soon take the hiot that the monster starvation was behind him, and abscond to a region where pills are more needed. There is some talk of establishing a district school at or near St. John's church. The people are able both to be laxad and to keep their children in school, and why not be more interested in school matters and educate the rising generation more thoroughly ? Shoolders to the wheel, and tnrn it I A little more trouble and a little more expense, and a flourishing school may be kept eight or ten months yearly, which will bring gladness to the hearts of all. School opens at St. John's Academy next i Monday. Jan. 12,1889. I Last Sunday the Rev. J. K. Efird preached to a splendid little audience at St John's cborcb. His text was foil of deep thought, and he saccessfally riveted the attention of his hearers. A splendid library has been purchased, and the pnpils of the Son- j day school, as well as those who contriboted for that purpose, are expected ( to read many of the books carefolly, 5 * as they are fall of trae and strict doc- * trine. The Y. M. C. A. will meet ( next Sanday, according to appoint- ( ment j 1 Mr. Hope Dickert has a contract j t for two mail routes, one daily and jc one twice every week. It is a splen- j did position and not hard to HU in j mild weather, bat it is very disagree- ! 1 able in foal weather. v 0 Many farmers over this side have * cotton bales piled upon one another h at their houses, which seems to say, l " Independence*"?and, Mr. Editor, a they are independent. They owe no- c body, and they have money and cotton too. f I think these people can boast of; *( more fat babies, hardy boys ana girls, j u and beautiful, rosy-cheeked young j " ladies than any other portion of onr | n grand old county. i if Last Tbnrsday Miss Anna Counts, ! P daughter of Mr. Henry Connts, was I y< married to Mr. JohD Chapman. The night following we heard the report cl of what we took to be a grand sere- 9* nade. It is rumored that others will 01 follow example soon. st Your scribe has a large and flour, j fit lairing school at St. John's church. t.r The pupils possess considerable intel- 01 ligence, and a somewhat lengthy term a of school would thorongbly prepare some of them for high schools and d< colleges and the active business par- j tt 0 \ i ii " % r "n' ^ ^ ]' salts of life generally. These people ! are fully able to Jeducafce their chil- j dree, and why not do so? They have the money already, and with a little more interest in school matters, they can keep a fine school running | nine or ten mouths every year. This j is what is needed in every cointnu- j nity, and it should be carried out for the special'benefit of the young, who need so mnch both mental and moral j training. Yictce. Jan. 18, 1889. ? Fork Laconics. i Presuming that it is due to the ; carelessness of the writer that " Fork j Frolhing8 " has been assumed as the j caption of another correspondent who ! has risen up, Phoenix-like, in this sec- j tion, I will, with pleasnre, give iny j friend H. D. G. the title, with the sincere hope that ho will famish the Disr.vrcii with more "FrothiDgs" than the lato author has been doing, though j if he were a public school teacher he would not have much time to collect 14 Frothiogs." The new year has opened aDd onr farmers are already making their pre- r parations for the coming year, and before many more weeks elapse the song of the plowboy will be heard in every direction. The holidays are over, aDd everyI body has gone to work. We had a i Merry Christmas, if all tbo money ! was in the U. S. Treasury. Parties | and social gatherings were in order, i accompanied by the usual deviltry of such occasions, such as cutting sadtdles and bridles, taking off buggy j tops, etc.; but it was all fun, though | some of the older sires had to bear ! the loss. On Sunday last I attended services at High Hill church, and heard an excellent sermon from that able divine, the Rev. Dr. Berley. The congregation has purchased a fine organ, and with a good choir, thoy now have splendid music. Rev. Mr. Elkin, the newly appointed minister for this Methodist circuit, / has entered upon his work full of zeal and energy. He has already made an impression upon his people, and has proven himself to be the right man in the right place. From aD article in the last issue of the Dispatch, it seems that Snooks _ba8 been badly rooster-pecked. Ho cerTaitrt^uigbt to be wise enough to know that smau^JP^iJ^gght not to go in the way of roosters^Ptai|^i wounds are severe, I would tecom: mend him to apply an "Aunt Jemima Plaster," which is made of sheepskin tafc^taeswax. It is true I did make HHflHBMfeMjtt^inoSqnare some m^tjpired in" the vcrd^t that j Snooks i3 a good fiddler. As to that M jewel," I am surprised that be should thus expose one who is battling so hard against the stern realities of life, especially with the affections of the corelative sex. Those words were soft and sweet, but now ; they will be harsh and strong when- I ever the form of Snooks is visible, i He seems to envy my good home.* 1 < admit that my host is an economist, and a few more such men are needed in our country. During ray sojourn ? with him he has not only butchered > < some fine porkers, but there has been I a continual slaughter of guineas and chickens. Besides this, he has pre- 1 pared a bountiful supply of excellent t saurkrant, especially for bis teacher 1 boarder, which is just the thing to erive him the courage and fr>rr?:? tn f cj - ~ i wield the rod and keep his pupils j t under control. If Suooks would make 1 1 this delicious dish bia chief edible, he j would then be able to control bis j s pupils without having to resort to tbe ! i expcditive of expelling rnde boys from I bis school simply because be could * not bring them into subjection. j f H. C. E. j Calla, S. C., Jan 12,1SS9. j 1 j t: Eeply to " Always on Hand." j a Mr. Editor.?In giving a short ac- j 5 ;ount of how Xrnas was spent in tbe ! ^ aeigbborhood of St. Andrews, over j :he signature of " Foiker," I was un- \ j. sonscious of using any word or phrase*: a jalcolated to touch tbe feelings of i my lady or gentleman, oveu of the j endereat sensibilities, save the guilty j >nes. " What I have written, I have writ- j en." "Always on Hand," Mr. Editor, j p s very difficult to reply to, inasmuch ! la .8 the sense or idea in the same sen- j a ence is so mixed up. Only a few tl deas of his demands my attention, as t: he most of bia thrusts rnuat be aimed ; o! t some one else, who, I presume, arc | rr, apable to take care of themsehes j1( Always on Hand " (excuse me, Mr fJ( klitor, for using the name so often, | 0j )r it is so appropriate for the person \ 'ho assumes it that I cannot refrain j us om so doing) says he has " a strong , fii tea that the natnre of the cutting i in nplement was a Barlow instead of a \ u<~ enknife, and done by some brainless j ii< x i ooths, etc." j th His assertion of who did Iho dress j fr atting is certainly as strong, or \\ ;ronger, than hay own was. Very <p ften a party is convicted on cirenrn- i f,? antialevidence,and the second party I> )metimesgets into the " meshes" by tit ying to clear the accused or guilty , pi 36S. "A tig'it shoe will always hurt all corn." ! go If " A'ways on Hand" knows the io blnded, brainless youths," that did th catling, 1st him "always" be "on c?fl , ' J m J band" and say v?Lo tbey arc. "Always ou Hand" says : "Surely, in ibo i name of common sense, no visitor would bavo gone to the sociable for the purpose of converting the ladies' pretty dresses into strings, to disfigure tbern forever, for they were too highly esteemed, and were not oppressed in the least by the weight of John Barleycorn to be guilty of such a misdemeanor." Now, Mr. Editor, from the sense of the above sentence, the dresses were too highly "esteemed" to be cut ; not the ladies "esteemed," but the dresses, and the dresses " were not in the least oppressed by the weight cf John Barleycorn to be guilty of such a misdemeanor." But according to the idea intended to be conveyed (in my-^pinion). the ladies themselves, the family who gave the sociable, or some ''deluded, brainless youths," did it." Common seDse, thou art a jewel. I did not say that " John Barleycorn reigned supremely there/' as "Always ou Hand" quotes me. It would seem til it w hat I wrote was not strong enough for his far-seeiDg eyes and extraordinary imaginative brain and perverting pen, that he must add thereto : " For me to say our neighborhood hod a sociable and everybody was drunk, when for ages past it has had stich a good name for sobriety and industry." No, not I. I will say nothing first. "Always on Hand" says : "It is very strange, indeed, if he took such a strong stand that he was not discovered." It is not necessary to see a * man drink to know that he is drunk or under the influence of liquor. I heard some young ladies say, before they knew of the dress catting, that they thought the parched coffee and spices must have given out before the whiskey, judging by the whiskey smell that emanated from some of the young men ; and while they only bad two legs, tbey were unable to keep them from getting tangled. What, "Always on Hand," was the matter with your keen perception on ibis occasion ? Outdoors, indoors, "Always on Hand," and conid neither see, taste nor smell." Perhaps . 0, no, I guess not. He is too rnorfil, temperate, qoiet, well-behaved in general not to be - " Always on Hand " at church, Sunday schools, sociables and eyery conceivable place, the observed of all observers, the extremely modest, quiet, polite Always on Hand " not trying to chatter nor laugh at all during religious exercises. As to my beffi^Nliljfikat home, it is npt worthy of notice, consitf?w^Jiie source from whence it comes and the^oiw^ajhat prompted it. I had a great deal o?S| company all Xrnas, and never saw.M tasted, smelt nor heard them menfl HHMfett^^exeepi on their returiflj copt some had t&o mneuQiqaorr^Tl-\ Isaiah Haltiwangek, Jan. 14, 18S0. j ? .

He then gave illustrations in shorthand on the blackboard, and as he dashed down his strange looking hieroglyphics, he accompanied them with an easy and pleasing lecture. Is it not wonderful to see the shorthand writer taking down the speeches and lectures of judges, lawyers, preachers and others, no matter how elaborate the discourse or argument may be, or what kind of words the spaaker may use, or how rapidly they may be delivered ? Typewriting is the handmaid of phonography, although each may be known and used independent of the other, yet to understand both enables reporters to place their stenographic notes in plain print with a neatness, rapidity and ease far beyond the power to do with pen and ink. Prof. HcFeat then gave his audience some very beantifnl specimens of his typewriting, and after showing the value of and increasing demand for skillful stenographers an^. typewriters in almost every branch of business, he closed.
