TEii EDXTOB'S JAUNT. Wednesday morning of last week * 3 found us in tbe peacerui ana inrivujg little factory village of Irene, formerly known as "Red Bank," where we found a number of its citizens and a few from the surrounding country who came to render unto the Auditor their taxable possessions. We enjoyed the company of friend T. Hayne Williame, who kindly tendered U9 the use of a room which was com fortably heated and made tbe transaction of business a pleasure. Hayne is doing well with his mercantile busi ness, and being a capital fellow of the first water is deserving of a large amount of success. The people of that vicinity should trade with him. hear him laugh and grow happy. Our next point was Barre's Landing. There we found but few tax payers to give in their property. This was occasioned no doubt by reason of its nearness to the Court House. Mr. F. W. Oswalt kindly entertained us in his well filled store. He eDjovs a good trade aDd with his excellent business qualifications and economical habits has su cceeded in accumulating a compency in this world's goods. He is a clever msn j ind has the respect and confidence of all who know him. We spent that night with Mr. G Franklyn Keisler, at whose pleasant and cheerful home we arrived after quite a cool drive, and it was very comforting to fall into such kindly hands as Mr. Keisler's, whose home is surrounded with plenty and with comforts and conveniences that go to make up an ideal home. He is one of the stanchest citizens of Hollow Creek, and is a progressive and industrious farmer whose example is worthy to be followed by bis fellow farmers. It has been our good luck to erjoy his unstinted hospitality on many former occasions and share the kindness of fcis good lady, and to them we will always have grateful feelings. 12 o'clock found us at the store of Mr. E. H. Addy. This place has heretofore been known to the people of that vicinity as "Craps' Store," but like a great many other revered old landmarks which divides the old from the new Lex;rgton and which stood as monuments cf interto both the outgoing and incoming g-eceraticns, has given way to jauodern improvements. This plsce nas come into ttie possession ol Mr. Addy who has transformed its rustic appearance into the graceful beauties of a modern villa. Ke is quite an active and thorough business man a progessive and energeticfaimer who believes iu making two bales of cotton and two ears of corn grow wher6 one grew before. In his business his pluck and enterprise will assist him in building up a good country trade. With him we erjoyed aD excellent dinner. While here memory carried us back to the days of loDg ago to other scenes when other people were the chief actors in the drama of life. We completed our business at about 4 p. m. aDd then pulled out for the home of Mr. George C. Shirey, and we arrived at his elegant home just about the time when the shades of evening came creeping o'er the western hills. Mr. Shirey is a gentleman whose gentle manners and amiable disposition has endeared him to the community in which he resides. He has by his untiring industry and frugal habits of life fixed himself well in life. The generous hospitality of himself and family have no bounds for thoso who happen to call. Oar young friend Scott, who was one of the party when out with the Treasurer u c-.llecting, was as glad to meet us as w if we had been one of those 16 yearold sweet maids who made goo goo p eyes at him while on the rounds, y "Well, Scott is a fine young man and ^ some day will leave the impress of his individuality upon the pages of the jj history of his county, that others c may read with pride and be ^inspired ^ to follow the path that he blazed out. Friday morning the Auditor served c the sturdy farmers at Crout's Store, r, and after a pleasant talk with those jovial people he started for Kocky 0 Well, arriving there about 1 p. m. a But few citizens met us there, and f, after taking their returns we pa- n tiently awaited the arrival of the E hour named for our departure, and then turned our faces homeward car- ^ ryiDg with us the bitter experience a of "love's labor lost," as it had been ^ a day wherein was written "naught" t in the Editor's collection book aDd 0" the Auditor bad accomplished but little work. r Monday morning we started for j Edmunds, and like many who have 2 gone that way before we dreaded the long dreary stretch of sandy road, t and again cry out mightily for a mix- jj ture of clay to improve and solidify c the road to our Senator's home, but ^ as he is probably engaged in formulating and preparing the enacting words of more wholesome laws, maybe his thoughts will ere long turn in j our direction after the weightier and more momentous matters have been disposed of, as we have recently had c "iites" of "good roads conveniens,' a and his ideas always run aloDg the a lines of progress, we may some day r travel on "better roads." But in the s meantime we will have pulled through a and have visited Uncle George W. a Reedere. 2 1 This Climate is Good Enough for anybody with weak lungs. The patient Deed not travel Ee can get well here with the help ' of Allen's Lung Balsam, taken fre- ? quently when coughiDg and short- F ness of bre3th after exercise serve 9 notice upon him that serious pulmonary trouble i3 not far away. Allen's Lung Balsam is free from any form of opium. ^ j ITe^r Brookland News, I To the Editor of the Dispatch: * b We bad the greatest and one of ^ the grandest banquets the present h pen pusher ever attended. The Knights of Pythias certainly done themselves great credit in the way they conducted the affii' J from start to finish. To begio I they first met at their regular rendezvous, went through the impressive scene of installation of cffi cars, which was as follows: M. H ^ Witt, C. C; Julius H*nna, V. C; " L. W. Moak, P : C. L Johnston, M W; W. A. Moody, M. A.; W. D & Dent, K. R S ; J. C Kirby, M. F ; G. J Sox, M E; H. L Courtney, I a. t t smi?h r> a r Afier the Eohmn occasion was over we bad some fico speeches by Mr Wiliiams and Mr. Somerset, of Cj ^ iumbia. Also Dr. Birron, of our ? lodge, made a fine speech, then all of oDe accord was at Williams hall c where had been prepared by our { kind and thoughtful ladies of whose hospitality civilization cannot surpass c a delicious and tempting repast, of which we all acted our part well in y the deliberations and made a creditsble showing in the way that would cause the cook to shudder. Special S mention is here made of Mrs. Dr. jSandel, Mrs. J. C. Kirby, Mrs. W g A. Moody, Mrs. I. P. Smith, Miss u Pinkie Berry, Mrs. D. K. Sox. Mrs L S A. Moak. Also Mr. G. W Ljbrand, a Knight of the Apron t an'3 an exc ellent carver, made himself s very conspicuous. After we had dined until late in the night, we had c a happy surprise in a nice and appro f priate speech by Mr. L. I. GuioD, i whose words made a deep impression on us all, and I can say, tbat the K ? of P'b. and their friends went heme feeling better for being there. Yours truly, Cecil Hogan. January 2G, 1902.
