We look forward with much pleasure for the time to Come for us to take our anDual trip out through the county with the Auditor, because it is a source of much gratification for us to meet our friends and we know that they want to see us. It makes us feel more in touch with tbsm and bring* us closer together to share their joys and pleasures as well as to mingie our sympathies with them over their son owe, troubles and disappointments. After a trying experience in driving in the winds and cold for over sixteen miles from Lexington to Gaston on Monday morning of last toooIt too arrival in thai f.r\Wn pftld nc&ttj " v oAiit vmmw w ? ? ? ? and stiff and found a gocdly cumber of substautial citizens of that section in waiting to render unto the Auditor their possession of the thiDgs belonging to this world, that they might aid this grand government of ours in the perfection and execution of its laws. We spent that night very pleaeantly with our old friend, Jos. W. Reeder. at hs Cross Roads. Here and at Mr. J. J. Mack's the Auditor was kept busy takiDg returns. Tuesday night found us at Mr. R E Mack's, wheie we were comfortably taken care of. It is one of the pleasures that comes our wsy for us to stop at this place, as Ranee is a wholesoal fellow and is surrounded i by many of the comforts which go to make this life happy. I "Wednesday morning we drove into the busy little town of Swansea, which is 8lso one of the largest points for the tax officers. The usual large crowd was present both days and the time waB fully occupied up to the hour of our departure. Swansea is a good business centre and its j business men are clever and ac(omodating. It is surrounded by a good back country which is populated by an industrious ancteuceeBsful people. There is no earthly reason why a cotton mill should not be successfully operated there as there is ample water power right in town and all the other conditions are favorable to such an enterprise. The mill could be easily built on the co-operative plan if the business men of the town and vicinity would work harmoniously together for the accomplishment of this end. This mill would add at least an hundred fold to the tax values of the nlace and would be the means of inducing a large number of people to settle and Bpend their money there, thus all classes cf trade would be benefited. We shared the generous hospitality of Mr. M. A. Derrick and family at their home and spent Wednesday' night very pleasantly with them, j Mr. Derrick is prospering in his bus- j iness affairs; has a fine farm and ; raises plenty of cotton and corn, and I has good stock, etc. He is putting j out an orchard of 1,000 fruit trees ! this season by way of a diversity. His object is to ship to Northern and otner markets. Others have received very profitable returns from their consignments and this never failing crop is very remunerative. After completing our work at Swansea Thursday afternoon we drcve to Mr. Jacob E Saylor's home by special invitation where we were comfortably and substantially cared for by Mr. Saylor and family. Mr. Saylor is a jovial and clever man and is one of Sandy Run's most substantial citizens. His corn crib and larder are always full to ovei flowing j and he is the happy possessor of ] cnTTcro 1 Y\qlno Irinrf ornnri/1 j pr f *31 \;V'l*UU 1 y "'ft aiwwuvi ? A Si thing in a nut shell.

Here we met about the | usual cumber of the sturdy sons of , toil, who were smiling the smile of peace, pleDty and prosperity. We were very hospitably emertained by our young fiiend, Mr. Herbert Geiger, who now resides in the A^smaDDMuller old homestead, having purchased the same sometime ago. Nigbi found us at Mr. W. X. Martiu's borne, where we are always glad to visit. There are no better people in that section of the county than Mr. Martin and his estimable wife.

They give em ployment to a large number of bandp. s>vx is their headquarters and Mr Stout, a pleasant and sffable gentleman, is superintending the business, i Mr. James Connor has a nice home there and there are several other neat and comfortable residences there also. What these people mostly need is a good public road to Lexington aDd we trust that the County Commissioners will see that they shall soon have one. Monday morniDg we continued on our round, making Edmund the first point. See the Auditor's appointments advertised in this issue and meet him promptly.
