The Editor on the Bounds.
For various reasons which are obvious
to the reader, the Auditor aDd
Editor left Lexington in the afternoon
of February 1st for the clay
l*nd9 of the Fork sud as the shades
of night were gathering dark aDd
sombre we arrived at the home of
our old friend, John B. Hiller, where
we found a hearty welcome and a
night of refreshing repose. We are
glad to be able to chronicle the fact
that the world wags well with John
and that all his worldly interests are
id a flourishing and prosperous condition.
He is hale, hearty and saucy
and a genial and hospitable boat.
On Monday morning we met the
taxpayers at Mr. Jesse Wessinger's
and after the cares snd vexations of
- . i a n
business transactions were laia asiae
for the time beiDg, we engaged in a
pleasant, social chat with uncle Jesse.
He is as sprightly as a young colt
under its first saddle and is an interesting
talker. After completing
our work at this point the Auditor
was compelled to abondon the trip
and return to the Court House, so as
to assist in drawing the jury for
February term of court as required
by law. He appointed our young
friend JobDnie Green Hiller, the
popular Infcendanfc of the ambitious
town of Hilton, bis deputy to receive
returns at Uncle Josh Sbealy's, at
which place we arrived to complete
our work by 4 o'clock in the after
noon Oq account of the bad condition
of the roads we concluded to
"play rouDdance" and returned to
the home of Mr. Hiller by devious
settlement roads, where we spent
the night and for the second night
we woed "nature's sweet restore?
balmy sleep" beneath that hospitable
roof. i
Next morning accompanied by Mr.
B. B. Hiller we pulled out. for Chapin
and on arriving there we found everybody
cheerful, happy and contented
with the gifts the gods gave them, j
The town is prosperous. The large !
lumber business and planing plant
o' Mr. Roberson gives employment
to many persons and contributes
largely to the business interest of
the place. Capt. Frick's ginnery
and grist mill are doing good business.
The merchants are enjoying a
liberal share of the trade of the surP-.A
~
rounding country which is one of the
most thriving and prosperous sections
of our couDty. Wewereplaced
under obligations to Mr. J. S. Wes- !
singer for kindness and attentions
shown us and we hereby ackcowledge
our grateful appreciation cf j
tbem.
Mr. Banks Hiller. who received j
returns for the Auditor, aDd conI
tinued to do so for tne balance of the j
trip completing hi? w.ork, we "lit out" !
for Mr. Ferry Fulmer's and were j
kindlv taken care of bv himself and
estimable family and their kindness j
to us will ever lffcger in our memory
as a pleasant memento in life's dreary j
waste.
Our next point was the Cross
Roads where we served the good
people of that section in due time. .
J. H. Frick, F. q., is the principal of
???
2 large and flourishing school at this !
point and is giving general satisfac- j
tion to both patrons and pupils.
The afternoon was spent in the
town of Peak comfortably roomed
and well fed at the Peak Hotel, of
which Mrs. Stuck is the presiding
genius. This town enjDys a very
good trade from Fairfield, Newberry
and Lexington counties. Its mer- j
chants are live and progressive,
clever and accommodating and are i
S. T. Swygert, W. H Suber, Wessenger
& Epting. The school at i
this place is under the charge of
Miss Mary Swygert, a lady of rare '
culture and accomplishment, and is |
popular with all the people. Mr. !
JohnDy Mayer is the dispenser and i
be faithfully tracts the law in all his !
dealings. After spending the night 1
and taking returne next morning, at I
12 o'clock sharp, wfe made our way to |
Spring Hill. The roads in this part j
of the county as well as in the other !
sections of the county, on account of
so much rain, are in a wretched con- j
dition. We reached Spring Hill on
time and took an inventory of the !
wealth of its people and gathered in j
a few dollar8.
Night found us comfortably situ- j
ated in the pleasant home of our j
friend and companion during the j
trip of the week, Mr. Banks Hiller, j
and for bis entertainment we return !
' ?
our lasting tnaDKs.

powder. It cures Chilblains, Swol- j

We claim that the soil of Lsxing- !
ton county, and we are pleased to no- ;
tice that the claim has never been successfully
disputed, will produce a
larger and more varied assortment of
farm products; her farmers are better
off; her commercial interests more
prosperous; her manufacturing plants i
more flourishing and is the mother |
of more fine babies and prettier women
to the square foot than any other
place on God's green footstool.
The "cartwheels" of the editor must
have got stuck in the mud last week
and he could not get home. He com- \
muned with his Fork friends Sunday
and this writer is of the opinion that

A Hard Luck Story.
The outgoing Southern Railway i
train for Augusta from Columbia !
Monday morning had hard luck. |
At Gilbert there were five box care j
derailed, which were finally gotten
bick upon the track. A little fur- j
tker on the first-class coach caught
fire on the top and necessitated a i
further delay. It finally took the j
train eight and one-half hours to
make the trip to Augusta.
Fresh Fish.
I will have for sale an assortment
of fresh fish every Tuesday and j
Saturday at J. W. Long's Old Store. ;
Give me a call when you want a nice
mess of fresh fish.
