We are beset whh trials, troubles and tribulations and the farmers are not exempt. Last week I spent a day meandering among my friends living north of me. My object was to see them, look at the crops and find out what axr wore rJninrr Thfi firftf" nlftPft ? I called in was my friend, R. B. Barr's ?he is a member of the W. C. C, (Widow's Combined Club of South Fork). I found my friend in the blacksmith shop. Not having bis work done but doing it himself, adding another to his already many accomplishments. A darkey present said, he can jist fix up a plow with any man. Mr. Barr extended to me the courtesy and kindness that makes the gentleman; invited me to the house, and from thence to the garden, worked by himself, and he needs to be proud of it for he certainly has a nice one. mi ;i ?i xut) wan expicses, cugtuccicu uj my friend, Mr. Pyles,came along, and | he, Mr. Pyles, kindly offered me a | seat with him, and down the road I went as far as the turpentine works of Messrs. Sphaler & Price. I found Mr. Price quite unwell but cheerful. He has been under the weather for ! sometime, but I hope he will be all right soon. I spent a short time with him and then went on to Mr. Ambrose Wingard's and found Mrs. Wingard at I home well and busy about her domestic affairs. She directed me how and where to find Mr. Wingard, so I went on a foot and found him and his little boys hoeing cotton. Mr. Wingard is one of these go a head men, but alas! he has none of the elements that constitutes a Job. From Mr. Winpard's I went over to Meetze settlement and met Mr. Samuel Meetze and several friends, took dinner with Mr. Ed Buff and passed a pleasant afternoon with him and his family. Late in the afternoon I returned home much pleased with my day of recreation. Having had such a pleasant time last week I concluded to try it over and on Friday I set out going south this time.

On our approach labor ceased and Mr. Huffman carried us to his tobacco farm. The tobacco is looking fine and if it is behind like the balance of the crop I have no idea how a good crop of tobacco would look. I had quite an interesting conversation with Mr. Moss, who is the supervisor of the tobacco farms in this sectian. He says the tobacco has been injured some by the wet weather, but considers the crop a pretty fair one. He says further that the lands here reminds him of the tobacco lands of Virginia and North Carolina and considers the crop as on average with that in those States believing we can make as good tobacco here as those States. He gave me information as to the culture and gathering of the crop, etc., etc. I found Mr. Moss to be quite a pleasant gentleman. I will certainly repeat my visit to the farm at an early date. The general corn crop is poor. There is some corn that looks preity well, but it is considered that the crop has been greatly injured. As for cotton it is small and fired up and?well, it may make a crop but it has to come out from where it is. I took dinner with Mr. Huffman i and his family. Vegetables in plenty, butter, honey, ail procured at home, proving that Mr. Huffman is one of our provident farmers and the arrangement of cooking impresses us that; Mrs. Huffman knows well how to perform her part equally with Mr. Huffman. About 4 o'clock I started for home, On my way I called in at Mrs S. G Huffman's and enjoyed a pleasant conversation with her and her daughter, Miss Ellen. I found them well and busy with their needles. I srt rived at home near sun down and pleased with my day's doings. Miss Maud Spence returned home from a visit to Columbia last week. She brought consolation to some de j bargain givers. s i Sjb ^ TAIN CO., | = AND MAIN STREETS, a A, S. C. | IS v nth 6 cents sPj 5c | t] OES. worth T PRICE-- 93c p m&OLA T h gain Pries 98 e ?
