It has been the custom of the Edianouh frtf f ho T?QQf. tui Ui I UO X/vu j vr? vuv twenty-tbree years to accompany ? ths County Treasuru, every fall io his tax col feting tour over the couDty. Tn*8? rripa have been as much a source c>f pleasure to us as one of business. We get among the people, mingle with them, eijiy their ^hospitality, learn their needs aod deeirep, and become more familiar wnb the financial and social conditions of our people. On last Monday morning, bright and early, it wa9 again our pleasure to start oat with our smihpg and courteous Treasurer and his assistaD*, the handsome Mr. Scott Sbirey, having for "aid de camp," master Lucius Bickley, for the 23rd time, on the mission of cnasmg the A'mighty dollar. Our first stop was at Uncle Josh Shealy's. The crowd of tax-payers was not as large as we have seen there. We found old Uoole "Josh" in bright spirits and as talkative as usual; and ever pleased to learn that hie good and kind wife is now ? ? i il ?k.i enjoying oetter onuiu ui&u wluii oue Had been. Monday night, it was oar good fortune to share the hospitality of Mr. W. B. Williams at Chapin. Oar time was indeed pleasantly spentwith bim and his family at their homeThe next morning, we gathered up what money was in store for us at Cuapio, aod the Treasurer promptly and rapidly disposed of those wishing to straighten up their tax accounts for the fiscal year. We found Chapin in a prosperous condition. The merchants seemed to be/nesting with success, and are wearing smiliiog f*ces over the outlook. Frick & Sou have a complete up to dale ginning outfit and do a large business. Mr. 0. P. Robinson, a the lumber kiog of the county, is located here, has a large well equipped planing mill in town and ships ail of his lumber from this point. Tuesday afternoon, we met. the good sturdy citizens of Cross Roads, and having completed our business " with them, we were soon on oar way to Peak, where *p?ot the night pleasantly at r,n? P Hotel. "Toe town now wears a desolate look, chimneys n .w marking the once prosperous part of the place. We regret to note that the burnt build ings Cave not been replaced. Let I the Southern Kuiroad set the pace by erectiDg a neat, substantial depot and doubtless, others will then follow suit. Mess. W. H. Saber and Jno. C Swygert Jr, are both wide awake energetic young men, and each one is doing a Urge and successful business. Peak is backed up by a fine farming couatry, populated by honest, hard-working people and should be a prosperous little town. Many of the sturdy citizens of the town and vicinity met us here, and the collections was the best iu years. After shakiug hands with numerous friends and replenishing our "stock ia trade," we reluctantly shook the dust of Peak from our feet and hit toe road for Spring Hill. Here the crowd that greeted us i ? ? ? . was Dot bb large as usual, but gave us a warm welcome and a few shekel . After finishing our work here, *e drove to our old friend's, Waher F. Derrick, and whce could we have spent the night more pleasantly and received better treatment aDd livelier entertainment than from him and his family? Early Thursday morning found us ia the bands of happy B;b Hiller, aDd the inimical "Johnnie Green." They are both live and clever fellow-.

There was a good attendance of tax payers at Hilton and the printer was also ! well cared for. | At White Rock, in the afternoon ; the Treasurer handed out receipts I rapidly and soon we were quartered f for the night with our old friend, D. A. Richardson, where we erjoyed the hospitality of himself and family. Friday morning we drove to Mrs. Busby'a and there met a number of the citizens of the Broa 1 River section. After accommodating the people here and enj >ying a sumptous dinner we set out for Billen tines. Jas. S. Boozer is doing a thriving mercantile business at this place, and is meeting with success. Here we spent about au hour in taking in the chink, aad then pulled reins for Irmo Tnis was the last point in the Foik. As usual we found the latch string to the home of our old frieod, E.ias Metz, on tie outside and a hearty welcome awaited us. Irmo is a good nice little town with live met chants?Mathias, Loricks, Hook?dl of whom have nice stocks of goods and are doing a fine business. The farmers were all busy sowing grain. From what we could see and learn, we fed safe in saying that the people of the "Fork" are in better condition financially than tbey have been for years. Crops have been short, but with high prices, batd work, strict economy, and their own hog and hominy, '-these people have, it seems, safely ridden the waves of hard times," and are anchored upon the crest of smiliDg plenty, bappine68, contentment aDd prospenty.
