On The Wing.
Time flies on most rapid wings aDd
it seems but yesterday since we
| started on our last pursuit of the
evasive dollar. On our annual
viflits tn our country cousins we must
admit to a feeling akin to a pleasant
desire and we look forward to the
time to come for us to take this tour
through the county.
Early on Monday of last week we
arose from happy dream9 in which
we saw a vast number of delinquent
subscribers struggling among them
selves in their effort to be the first
to arrive at the desk of the publisher
and lay down his "cart wheel" as an
earnest of his appreciation cf the
labors of the Dispatch force to make
this paper a welcome visitor to the
fireside of its patrons. It is needless
to add, however, that it was but a
dream and vanished as the mist
before the rising sun on awakening.
Just as the sun began peeping from
behind the eastern horizon we started
for our first appointment at
big hearted Josh Shealy's 10 the Fork.
The drive was a most delightful one;
the air was bracy and refreshing and
*- J ?HU A. 1 ma
was laueueu wuu i>ue dwccu ^cnuuio
of the harvest time: the scenery was
grand and sublime in its lovely
picturesqueness and the varigated
colors of the drapery of nature; the
mournful and dirge like eighs of the
statety pines as the gentle zephars
kissed their locks of evergreen; the
babbling brooks, wending their serpentine
way through the bills and

muring their lullaby of gleefulness
to the sombre fore6t around as the
0
dark limpid waters rolled and rippled
along their pebbly beds flowing
on towards the river and thence on
to mingle the freshness of the kills
with the salt of the great deep: the
sweet notes of the feathered songsters
of the woods as they poured
forth their morning medley of praises
and thanksgiving unto him who
clothes the lillies with a splendor
that even Solomon in all his glory
could not approach and who notices
the fall of even a sparrow. All these
voices of nature combined to make a
panorama of beauty that was inspir
Dgla
the due course of time we arrived
at our appointment, and found
that a goodly number of taxpayers
had come out tosettle with the Treasurer.
That night we slept the sleep
of the just beneath the hospitable
roof of Mr. J. E. C. Shealy and our
treatment was kind and thoughtful.
Tuesday we took dinner with Mrs.
Derrick, mine hostess, at the Cbapin
hotel. The bill ot tare was a most excellent
one and was served in a tempting
style. There has., been some
improvements made since last we
were therv The merchants report
trade quiet but are looking forward
to a revival of business activity. The
lumber and crosstie interest of the
town is firm and steady. Mr. Robinson
has a fine plant of the latest improved
machinery for the manufacture
of every class of lumber and has
as much as he can do to fill his
orders.
We spent Tuesday night pleasant*

the requirements of the inner man
were abundantly supplied and our
tired body received a refreshing and
rejuvenating rest. After a short sojourn
at the Cross Roads with the
Treasurer our party hied away to
Peak at a spanking pace and we were
soon comfortably domiciled at the
famous hostlery-Peak Hotel-which is
so ably presided over by the accommo
GLOBE BEY I
HI. l^COZLTCI^TC

dating and kind hearted lady, Mrs.
Stuck, whose delight is in looking
after the welfare of weary wayfarers
whose good fortune it is to be caught
honpftt.h her roof. We minerled with
the people of this little town and
found them to be a happy and contented
people. The,business of the
town is not as active as it should be,
but when all things are conj
sidered the outlook is not dishearting.
Xoon found us at SpriDg Hill,
where in the days that have gone oy
we spent many a pleasant hour. As
memory travels back to those good j
old times a feeling of sadness comes j
over us as we mi3sed familiar faces j
and looked in vain for well remember- i
ed scenes that once were but are now j
no more.
That night we accompanied the !
Treasurer to the pleasant ai? com- I
fortable home of his uncle, Mr. H. J. ;
I
1 Eargle, and had a most delightful ;
{ and enjoyable time.
During our sojourn at White Hock j
; we were the guest of that genial and :
whole souled gentleman, who is j
' * * 1--M! ? !.l. ? I
known tnrougnouc nis oauiwict, aa ^
j the prince of generosity and hospi- j
tality, Mr. D. A. Richardson. Mr. j
Richardson has a refined and cultur- j
;
i ed family, and bas a beautiful and .
comfortable home.
Friday night found us snugly j
quartered at the pleasant home of j
our old true and tried friend Mr.
Elias Metz, where peace, plenty
t and happiness abound without limit.
Here we always find the latch string
on the outside and a warm welcome
awaiting us within, Mrs. Metz is
one of Lexington county's best housewives,
and her table is always loaded
down with the best the farm sup(
plies.
Saturday we completed our trip
j with Treasurer Shealy and then pulled
the bell cord over Jumbo's back as
i we faced homeward where we arrived
right side up with care about dark.
Our party were delighted with the i
j trip and were pleased with what
! they saw along the line of progress
and nrnsneritv which was in evi
j -? r c *
f dence on every side and in every sec
. tion.
The Treasurer was met pleasantly
at all his appointments and his tol:
iections were about a9 usual notwithstanding
the crops are not what they |
: have been in previous years. The '
people are somewhat gloomy over :
the outlook for the future but many ;
1 are buoyed up with the thought that J
although it is cloudy today the sun
may be shining tomorrow. The corn
\ crop is very phort, the oat and wheat \
i crops, however were very fine, and j
with a fair cotton crop, even if low j
prices prevail the farmers will doubt- j
less pull through on the right side of ;
i 1
the ledger. With close economy and j
i careful management they can stand j
: the racket until the next harvest !
I .
! time.
i
The railroad tax calls forth some i
warm expressions and some speak of
! further testing the legality of this ;
; tax in the courts. Legal advice has 1
been sought and they have been i
encouraged to believe that they will j
get relief from this onerous burden.
! This week we are in the southern j
section of the county where we j
aiwavR rpf.eive abeartv welcome from i
a generous people.
Our collections were about what j
we expected, and we trust thatdelm- '
quents will pay a portion, at least, of 1
{ the amount due, if they cannot payj ,
: all. We will endeavor to make the 1
i Dispatch more interesting in the j
i future than it has been in the past j 1
: and a more welcome visitor to the j '
; homes of our people. 11
