Monday morning bright and early, j the third week out, we were driving fjr the thriving town of Pelion, , where we arrived about 11 o'clock and found a large crowd awaiting the > Treasurer and tfce Dispatch man. , We always feel at home and among friends here, and spent the, day chatting over the vatious topics of interests and the conditions of things generally. We were sorry to learn that some of our citizens inside of the new county project, were inclined to favor a separation from old Lexington. Ho wever, we trust that after due and thoughtful consideration they will see the folly of such a detrimental step, which will bring dissatisfaction and expense upon themselves for years to oome, when like others going into such schemes, dow deplore their action after it is too late, they will decide to remain citizens'of L?xington. Messrs D. B Spbaler and D. F. Shumpert are the merchants here and both ei joy a good trade. After dinning with Mr. D F. Shumpert we handed out several Dispatch receipts and completed our work there. Then we accompanied oar old friend, Mr. John McCsrtba, to his home, where we spent the night pleasantly, enjoying bis and the family's company We were pleased to hod friend John's orop yield good with bis cribs full and plenty of hogs in the pen. Tuesday morning we were at the Cross Roads, where fewer taxpayers than usual met us. Serving them iu due time we drove to Steadmau. This waB our first visit to this place. The town has five or six stores, mill and giD, and two turpentine stills, a good business in turpentine and lumber. What the plaoe lacks in business is made up with clever and industrious citizens While there we were treated kindly, by Mr. Waiter Quattlebaum's family. Night found us well, entertained -at the home of Mr. Wm. Westmoreland, and besides bis good fare we enjoyed the excellent music furnished by himself and sons. Bill is a whole souled fellow, lives at home and 'boards at the same place. His business is good at d D<? is comfortably situated. - Our time being up we pulled lines for Leesville in a cold, piercing wind " ftllQ rsiu, UUb JJt^UV luuuu uo nru ^ cared for at Mr. Haiti wangerRawl's, where we always feel at home.- He and hie family are .very entertaining J and always mindful of their guests. * Our next point was Batesburg on Thursday morning, where we met a j . . large number of taxpayers. Batesburg has always been a live and progressive town and is still improving. Her business men are wide-awake, clever and energetic. The merchants carry large stocks which are well arranged and neatly kept and all do an extensive business. The people are cultured and refined. We , cf course, visited the Advocate office s:jd found uthe boys" overtaxed with ' work but jovial and "sassy". At the kind invitation of Capt. TJ X Gunter, one of our loyal old friends, we joined bim in his Thanksgiving dinner ' and 8Djoyed ourselves at his lovely lome. After chatting with a number )f friends and business men of the ;ownt completing oar mission, we reiurned to our homelike resting place, Mr. Rawl'e, at Leesville. Leesville continues to grow, new buildings going up, a nicely equipped ri\ mill, a ccffia factory and the flour mil), all making good time and money and the merchants doiDg good business. Leesville is second to no town in the county, inhabited by refined and sociable citizens this town cannot fail to grow prosperous. It is a popular mart for miles arourid Produce briDgs highest prices and goods are sold at close margins. It was r\laaorira to visit Or. D TVf. | LUUCOU uui ^/ivuuu* v w - ? - - ? ? Croseon's model home atd diDe with him od Friday. The Doctor has a wide practice in his profession and is quite popular. He has represented our couDty in several capacities with credit to himself and our people. In the cold, cutting wind on Friday eveniog we drove to Summit, where our entire party, Treasurer Shealy and his assistant, and our devil, all were comfortably cared for by our young friend, Cyrus L. Shealy, and his noble old mother, who is good company and knows how to make one feel at home. While there is no improvement at Summit she holds her own. Brother H re with a stock of merchandise ind the publication of Our News Letter, seems to be thriving well, rhe Hartley Brothers do a considerable business in turpentine, and keep i well stocked store to meet the den# ^koit> KnoinfiBB Mr CACTUS lUCIUUO U1 vuou MUOiuvwvi* ^J L. Shealy is now teaching ,a good school at this place and we are pleased to say is giving his patrons entire satisfaction. After a good nights rest and a [}uick drive we were ut Lewiedale on Saturday morning. The merchants 3ere complained of dull trade for the ieason, yet we thought after seeing itber places that they were domg rery well. Mesers. T. S. Sease, W. 9. Donley, and R L. Keisler are the merchants here and all enj ly a liberal share of the trade. Mr. Donley speaks of moving to Columbia to nerchandise. He is a clever gentlenan, and while we regret to lose him Columbia will gain a good citizen ind a fine merchant. After completing our woik "Prince," vho has traveled the roads of this sounty so often, seemed enthused at >oing home, and it was not long ere ve found that place where it is said 10 other is t qual. During this week's travel we found bat the people generally are in good inancial condition and like other seclions that we have traveled over, they lave made fiirly good crops which eaves them in good fix for another ^ear. Ou account of Dre&sin&r work in the * W >ffice wc were prevented from competing our round with the Treasure!, it would have beeu a pleasure, as leretofore, to meet our friends and >atrons of the Hollow creek section md hope that those whom we failed o see, will call or send and aid us vith their dues, as every subscriber hould settle during the year. We cannot fail to express our sp>reciation of the hospitality and tiudness of friends shown not only o the Editor, but also to Treasurer Sbealy, who has made himself quite jopular by his rapid mode and courteous manners in serving the taxpayers. We are in receipt of the Congressonal R cord, our address haviDg Deen placed on the mailing list for ;he next session of Congress, by our efficient and very servicable Senator, 1. C. Latimer, for which he will iccept our thanks and appreciation. Mr. Charles L)gan died Sunday at bis bomp,Jh Columbia. He has been si citizen of that city for many years and was well known to many of Gur citizens. He came from Ireland in 1835. 4 It is sa:d that G. Raymond Berry, the former Superintendent of Education of Marion county, now wanted on the charge of forgery and embez zling the state's money, is in Jacksonville, Fla.
