Tbe time bavmg arrived tor ibe County Auditor to make hi* annual tour of tbe county for tbe purpose of receiving tax returns, we left* our home last Monday morning in company with him, our destination being Gaston, and after a pleasant, if somewhat tedious drive, we arrived at that place without an incident worthy of relating. We found quite a number of the property owners in that part of the moral viueyard congregated to tell the accommodating Auditor the amount of their wordfy possessions aud others who failed on this particular morning to tumble out of bed at the sound of the cock's crow and thereby became belated, arrived through the course of the day and the Auditor had his hands full in the performance of his duties. Gaston is a pretty place and its reputation for healthfuluess is beginning to attract the attention of those who are in search of a pleasant and healthy place to build homes for themselves and families, and is making some pretentions of possessing the requirements necessaay to make ita first class health resort. Sinceour last visit to that place Mr. Frick Mack baa purchased the Dr. Williams place aod baa made some improvements on it. We opine tbat before be gets tbrougb witb it b? will have one of the prettiest places in tbat section of the county. It i was our pleasure to dine witb him and we were received hospitably and went on our way rejoicing feeling that it was good for us to have been there. We spent the night pleasantly with our old friend, D. Elmore Craft, and were greatly refreshed by the night's rest. The next morning the monotony of our experience was broken by our horse becoming frightened by the Auditor and made a dash for liberty and was making for home with all four feet when caught. A large arnouat of corn was made in this section last season and most of the farmers will have enough to do them until the next crop is gathered. The next point of interest was Swansea, where we spent two days. The place is steadily improving, both a9 to improvements and population.

I from the effects of which he has | never fully lecovtreh The second ; night we spent with that cultured Christian gentleman, Dr. W. T. Brooker, and were highly entertained. He has a pretty residence and a very pleasant home. After leaving Swansea we drove twelve miles to Red Store and met a large Dumber of the people of that vicinity. We ei joyed a fine dinner at the home of Mrs. Jb'ritz Muller,. who, together with her eiRter, Mrs. Lou James, succeeded in making the time spent beneath their roof pass pleasantly. Mr. Gerhard Muller is the leading spirit of that community and is a high toned, honorable gentleman and is deservedly popular. The shades of night found us comfortably domiciled at the home 1 or Mr. J. Archie Wolfe, whose latch 1 string we always find on the outside and an abundance of hearty welcome on the inside. Notwithstanding ' friend Archie was unavoidably absent from home at the time of our visit, we were kindly received and pleas- 1 antly entertained by his son-in-law, 1 Mr. Herbert Geiger, and his charming wife. Mr. Geiger now has MyvMrvMftl aI f A rvlo/*A gcjueiai oupciiutcuucunjr Ul luo ^/iaw and is certainly making things around him flourish ae the green bay tree. He manages the affairs of the farm with excellent judgment and is an industrious young man. Our next stopping pldC9 was at Mr. W. M. Martin's and after enjoying such a dinner as only Mrs. lxiarun auuwa uuw lu picptno, **o commenced the work in band until all those who had come out to make their returns had been attended to. Mr. Martin is one of the best farmers in Lexington county. His stock are all in good condition, his corn cribs are full to overflowing and his hogs are exceptionally fine. Brookland was the next plac9 on the schedule. Brookland is certainly on the high road to progress. The place is wonderfully improving in all its varied interests. MaDy new residences are in the course cf construction and the merchants all seem to be doing a good business and the people are happy and contented with their surroundings. They are highly elated over the. bright prospects of being connected with the court house by the electric railway and the development Crystal Lake into a pleasure resort. This closed the first week of our tour. WHEN IN (.001) W ll\ REMEMBER THAT COH SHOES AT THE L 2TEW SHOES "AB -o TT1TTTT(TIT7' curni?

To the Editor of the Dispatch: The Midway school continues to prosper under the popular management of Mrs. Alice Sawyer. Misses Cbrrie and Katie Corley, of Brookland, have returned home after spending a pleasant visit of a few weeks with their aunt, Mrs. Samuel Lever, and other relatives hereabout. Mr. Virgil Calk and sister, Miss Maie, spent Saturday night and Sunday at the home of Mr. G. Jacob Wingard. The youog people of the community enjoyed themselves at an "old time party" at Mr. Ab Corley's last week. Mr. Charlie Conner will shortly have the chimneys bailt to his new dwelling. I don't wonder it stays so oold. The young people have succeeded in getting up a singing class at Pilgrim for Mr. Curtis Hallman, which will be taught soon. Mr. Justus Wingard will shortly erect a neat dwelling near his father's on the Dreher's ferry road*. While out hunting Christmas eve Master Ernest Monts accidentally shot Andrew Corley in the ankle, which is a very serious wound. We hope he will get all right again soon.
