Turkey and Trimmings Galore?Th( People are ' Blue'' But Not Discouraged. As has been announced in thee* * 11? -i? t sn/inm. C01UQ3DP, tUW Kjjuuvjr auunui bvwuj panied by the Editor, have for tb< past week been roaming over the beautiful hills and fertile valleys oi historic Dutch Fork, eeeking whal they could devour, or more correctlj speaking, the first taking tax relume and the other in the interest cf tbt Dispatch?neither of whom, how ever had no serious objections of be ing feasted on tbe good things thai the Martha's of that section might provide for the refreshment of the inner man. We left home fully fortified by a systematic course cf sell denial to do full justice to the culinary art of the fair and sweet wo men of the Fork. The Auditor sol emuly affirmed by the horn of Jupiter that he had eaten nothing for s month to make room for the dainties, delicacies and relishes he anticipated on this trip and the way tbe smoking viands and savory dishes mysteriously and rapidly disappeared beneath his bile shirt, he must have told the truth. In order to meet oor Ursfc appointment we were compelled to leave the warmth and comfort of cur fireside on Sunday, the 12th inst., and accordingly in the afternoon of that memorable and Dever to-be-forgotten Sabbath, amidst the warring elements aDd the discomfort and privations incident to an exposure of a roaring blizzard which had just arrived freebjjfrcm the eternal snows and ice of the frigid zone, we started on our disagreeable journey. We had not proceeded far when we decided to auccumb to the cold until a bouse eoold be reached and we froze dead. \ The only thing that kept us from staying dead was the harassing thought that our graceful and well knit forms would adorn the walla of some dime museum as the only original Egyptian mummies but recently discovered in a lonely pyramid of ice and snow, so we concluded that the best policy was not to die at all. After arriving at the comfortable home of .our friend Jacob J. Derrick, whose genial smile and warm welcome was acnehine to our souls, we thawed .our frozen bodies before a roaring -fire and found sweet relief in the -.comforting thought that rtwere better to live than to di?\ and that if this ^orld was a wilderness of freezing blkzards it was far more comfortable to bans oQ to the ragged edge than {o depart to that land whose warm elimate and sulphuric air would not agree with our digestion aod so here we are today still in full pursuit of the root of all evil. We were ?qod afterward eeaW aiuUud the Supper table and the tempting dishes appealed strongly to the aching void in the pit of our abdomen and we filled up with the appetizing dishes until we could hold no more. Balmy sleep, tired nature's sweet restorer took possesion of our senses and we were soon in the land of Nod holding communion with our friends, the Vanderbilts, the Goulds and the Morgans and among then all we were the biggest money king We were somewhat disappointed tc awake and find that it was such onlj in our dream. The next morning bright anc early we left for our next appoint ment at Josh Shealy's. Quite ? number of the tax-payers of tha vicinity came out to meet the |Audi tor who certainly earned his dinner that day and eat like one who was a j stranger to dyspepsia and fortified with a cast iron stomach. By special invitation we spent that i night in the elegant home of Jacob ' J. Ballentine. Without any attempt. ^ at flattery and to tell the naked truth, ' he has a home that should make any , man proud to possess. The rooms . I are elegantly furnished with carpets , on the fl )or and all the appointments II ovirtanoed a refined and cultured ! u . taste. We were heartily welcomed 1 aod nicely treated. ^ ! We were at Chapin all day Tues- u , day and a portion of which we spent in observing the improvements made t since last we were there. This little town is steadily, though slowly it t mav be, improving. The merchants are enterprising and have unbound- p ed faith in the future of the town. * Its denizens are progressive, iodus; trious and law-abiding. Here is the h home of the Carolina News, a weekly I newspaper, devoted to the interest of the section in which it is published During our stay we called at the office and found its Editor, Rev. J ^ } S. Abercrombie hard at work. After leaving this pleasant little c ^ village, where we have maDy warm ( friends, we proceeded to the Cross t Risads Wednesday morning, where y ' maDy true and loyal citizens renderei unto Ceasar the things that are J Ceasar's. We then pulled the a bell cord across our horse's back y with our faces cet Peak ward. Arriving thtie in due course of n time, we immediately entered th?- ? hotel where we found Mrs. Siuck tl awaiting our arrival, and it was not fi U rv f mrt rrn??n dao I aiiri natu luau n u vicic ocaioj a at the diDiog table. The Auditor tl:quently expressed its magnitude when, with widely extended eyes and , open mouth he exclaimed, "Gee Josb, I ' what a dinner! Solomon in all hie glory was not feasted like unto us?" We found trade at this place to be somewhat dull for the season of the year but the merchants were hopeful of better times to come. Brooks Swjgert hae pulled up stakes c aod has sought greener pastures and t larger fields. He has settled at Liurens and is running a large wholesale business. We spent the night ai s the hotel and enjoyed Ihe restful s slumber which is only obtained from C clean linen and downy beds. Wr f, then left for Spring Hill and found a goodly number of tax-payers ready q to make assessment of their worldly | possessions. That night we spent with F that whole souled and generous hearted gentlemaD, John E Fulmer, who worthily wears the reputation f< of being the best company in the 0 Fork. We eDjDyed our sojourn with him immensely and reluctantly took ^ our departure from his domicle, the next morning. ^ Our next appointment was at Hsl- a ton, and here we found Bob Hiller looking as happy as a young father ^ crowing over his first born. We took dinner with him and here the Auditor Jet his appetite, (which is always an enormous one) get the c' better of his discretion. He just eat 0 and eat and eat until we thought his ? bread basket had no bottom and on r leaving forgot his papers and never missed them until we reached our next appointment. He says that it wss the remembrance of the table ij still loaded with good things that he !( was forced to leave that caused him I to forget his papers but we will H i&| always believe that it was Hiller's U remedy that caused him to walk. Mr. Hiller is doing a nice business end he seems to be enjoying a liberal share of this world's goods. He is \ deserving of success and he has our j best wishes. it WLite Rock was our next destina- !; tion at which point we arrived accord f iog to schedule time and waited upon f the tax cavers. We spent a time with | " ? "f 4 , friend H. J. Fulmer where we antici- B pated enjoying a mess of cats but owing^ to the unfavorable weather w? I had to forego this pleasure, our ar- I rival not being communicated to the ? , fishes above and below in time for ( them to come up and be caught Mr. Fulmer enjoys the distinction of being the champion fisherman on Broad i ) river.

I Oats are somewhat injured by the old winds, which swept the fields ist month. The farmers are busy preparing heir land for next season. Mr. I. V.
