How This Editor Was Received While on His Tour. , There are times in the life of every one who has arrived at the age when 1 the responsibilities of life rest heavy < upon the shoulders, which makes the 1 performance of duty a pleasure 1 rather than a drag. These occasions ] are like a green oasis in the dreary 1 desert of life, in whose luxuriance of shade, freshness and coolness the 1 weary traveler along the road from 1 the cradle to the grave can pause for ( awhile and quaff the refreshing waters from the fountain of pleasure, ( revel in the rich beauties of nature ] as revealed in the fragrance of flow- j ers, the sweet songs and beautiful plumage of birds and warm coloring of field and forests. Such occasions crosses the pathway of this Editor when the time rolls around for him to lay aside the pen and scissors, the paste and brush,; ] aDd stick and rule, hitch up faithful i old Jumbo and hie away to the ever j changing scenes of the rural districts j and behold the beauties of nature in ] all their purity and extravagance. Ooe of these occasions happened 1 recently when the Auditor made the j L - 1 IV. L? t-- 1 U _ , lour 01 lue cuuuty ior iuo purpose 1 of receiving assessments of property. ' "We have already told of the progress made by the people in the several localities of the county and the prosperity which has come to them as a reward for the pursuit of that progress. We wish now to say something concerning their social characteristics and their generosity and thoughtfulness in dispensing the hospitality of their homes and their conscientuous discharge of their social and religious obligations. And in order to do so we shall commence at the beginning of the trip and take the reader along so that he can see what we saw. r\~ nr Uli iliuuuaj uiutuiu^; comforts of our own home and after a pleasant drive in the early winter morning air, we arrived at Wessinger station in the Fork, the first point of disembarkation for the Auditor and this disciple of the Fourth Estate, and met Mr. J. J. Wessinger who looked as hale and hearty as in the days of yore and wearing a smile upon his fatherly features like unto the ones he used to wear when he went a courtin' and pulled "lasses'' candy with his best girl. He is a happy and genial gentleman and his unassuming kindness win the hearts of all. Tbfl firat. niwht that we scent in ?*G " L the Fork was at the pleasant and ho3 pitable country home of Mr. B. B. Hiller. Here comfort and ease, ele-' gance and grace were personified, and it was indeed a charming picture to see him and his interesting family in their home life attending to their j domestic duties with a cheerfulness and thoughtfulness that wins the ad miration and wonder of the stranger within his gates. Mr. Hiller is the efficient dispenser at Chapin and his business relatious with those people V?J w. _4'' 16SO MAIN ST "i P^j Solicits a ? have been marked with countesy and attention that they swear by him. While sojourning at Mr. Josh Shealy's, where the multitude had gathered together to witness the maricle working power of the Auditor in transcribing property into dollars and cents, the friendly anc honest hand of Mr. J. E. C. Sheaiy met ours in genuine friendship, and we accepted with alacrity the warm invitation extended to us to spend the night in his home. Mr. Sheaiy is a big hearted man and is one of nature's noblemen, and has for an helpmate an estimable and kindhearted lady whose devotion to home and its enjoyment is proverbial in the settkment. At Cbapin we found this coming city of the county in the throes of business activity, consequently the * 1---3 1- J 1 MJW Li usu ou lib gam uajr a^piu nuu everything went on as m errily as a marriage bell. This is a progessive little town on the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens Railroad and only a few years ago evolved from a primeval forest into its present dimensions. Thrift, industry and business characterizes its citizenship and beauty, grace and culture distinguishes its fair women. We would like to linger yet awhile with these charming creatures, but the Auditor, having no eye for beauty of face and winning ways, ruthlessly drags us to newer fields where the cart wheels were calling for us. As the shades of night were creep 1 it. - mg on we drove up to mecomioriauie and happy looking home of Perry B. Fulmer. There is one remarkable trait about the character of Jumbo, our horse, which is noticeable by all those who have made the tour of the county with us, and that is, be delights to stop at those gates whose owners have full barns and cribs and whose larder oveiflows with the good I things of life. We found this to be the case at Mr. Falmer's, who is one of the many who makes bis own supplies and hence his barns are never empty and the "gaunt wolf" never howls at bis door. He has an intelligent and refined family and their delight is io administering to the comfort and pleasure of their guests. On Wednesday morning, having Kr nioht'd roaf UCCU 1CUCOUCU UJ luv uiguv u <v?>, we met the sturdy sons of toil in that region lying around the Cross Roads, and pleasently spent the time in social converse. These are intelligent and progressive people, and Fully posted on all questions of a political, social and religious nature. That afternoon found us in the live and go-head town of Peak, comfortably domiciled at the Peak hotel under the motherly care of Mrs. Stuck, the proprietress. This hotel is famous the country over for its abundant and excellent fares, clean linen and home like comforts. Peak is a growing town and has a large back country from which to draw trade. Its present pressing need is a free ferry and we trust that the County Commissioners of Fairfield and Lexington counties can see their way clear to supply this demand. Next we were at Spring Hill mingling with the patriotic and libertyloving citizens of that vicinity, and on leaving this place we took the road that leads to the hospitable home of that prince of good fellows, Mr. John E. Fulmer, the latch string of whose door we always find on the outside, where we spent the night in ease and luxury on a bed of softest down. Our next stopping place was in the little, but none the less enterprising town of Hilton, and found Happy Bob Hiller. the man who feeds the hungry, clothes the naked and shoes the barefooted of that community, ministering to the needs of his customers. TTccint/ ropoivort o fmpp.iftl invita - r tion to break the staff of life with the Rev. S. C. Ballentine, one of the Fork's most able divines, we accepted the invitation and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner elegantly served. Mr. Ballentine is greatly beloved by saint and sinner alike for his nobleness of heart ?\nd hand, and is noted for his devout piety, eloquent tongue and refined culture and learning. We enjoyed the time spent with him and his pleasant and accomplished famjiiy Night found us comfortable housed beneath the roof of H. J. Fulrner, ! on Broad river, who knowning our partiality to fish flebh had great piles GLOBE DRY 33. 2v?02TC2CI REET, Winre of Your Valued j of the finny tribe prepared for oar enjoyment, which reached from his table on this mundane sphere to some j point this side of the pearly gates. : To say that we enjoyed the delicious and bountiful spread but faintly expresses the feeling of satisfaction that came over the inner man when we had to cry out hold, enough. The way our modest Auditor hid fish under his vest is a warning according to Hoyle and he now proudly wears the distinction of being the champion cat fish eater of the State and vows by till the gods that no one shall rob him of the title. Our next point was at Ballentine, at which place we found our young friend, Jim Boozer. He looked as natural as when behind the counters at Lexington and had the appearance . of an industrious and prosperous man who has had fair winds and clear weather. From thence we drove home and spent the holy sabbath under our own vine and fig tree. State of Ohio, City of Toledo, ) Lucas County j Frank J.
