This recreation is like passing "from labor to refreshment*," and we feel much improved both in mind and body. We were at Edmund Monday afternoon, and here we met the usual Dumber of citizeus who are wont tc assemble there on like occasions. Uccle George Beeder was in fine humor and seemed to be prospering * .M t id bis wood, tie end mercantile dubineps. ' . Oar closing hour, being 4 p m , arrived and we palled lines for Pelioc by way of Macedoo., Here it seems that the K^zers have a very good business, the place beiDg a convenient shipping point for turpentine, lumber and wood. We understand it is ibe intention of the parties wbc have purchased the Judge Wingard limber, near the Cross Roads, to make Macedon the shipping point for their output when they commence operations. We spent the night very pleasantly with Mr Dan Sbumpert atPelion The next day the Auditor was kept very busy, as this is a central point for a large territory and citizens take advantage of bis coming to make their returns in order to save coming to the Court House to do so. Pelion has a very good back country from which to draw trade which iB really the bone, blood and flesh of all true progress, but like many other places, the scarcity of timber, through ite destruction by the manufacturers, the main support and main tain ee of lte people in the future will depend almu3t entirely upon what they can realize from the soil. Mr. Sbompert, D. B. Spb&ler end C. E Eish are the merchants. Mr.. J. C Fort bae a large turpentine and lumber business, besides has a very fine farming interest going on there. While the people seemed to be in good spirits as a rule, yet some are somewhat despondent over the dull trade caused by the low price of cotton. By special invitation we spent Thursday night with our old friend, John McCartha, on Black creek, where we are always delighted tc stop when in that part of the county His place is almost like home to ue and if perchance we happen to pase by without stopping we should never have thought that we had been on Black creek On this occasion we were more than grateful to "Uncle Ben" and bis faithful dog and the faioilv for a fine fat "possum and tater" supper, which we certainly enjoyed. We served the good citizens at Mr Lutber Gantt'e in short metre time Wtdnesd&y and in view of the loDg drive to Summit, the next point, w* were conpelled to leave at 11 o'cloet sharp, ieavipg tbe savory odors of ar excellent ,djbner tickling our appetite We appreciated the kindness of Mrs Gaott in providing so bountifully foi the wants of the inner man, but wc were reluctantly compelled to exeuec ourselves and hurried Prince onwaid After a drive of about sixteen milet we arrived at Summit, where wt found several persons in waiting foi us. After completing th<- worl which called us there and spending a short while in pleasant conversatioE with the people, we retired to oui resting placet-?the Auditor going with Mr. John Derrick, who i* reaching a flourishing school, while 1 shared the hospitality of Mrs. Eizic ISi ,hing in a nut shell.

Here, as is always the ease, the good, sturdy sons of the soil met us with smiling face* , and cheerful happy spirits. The I Editor was remembered by several | subscribers of that vicinity. In the pouring rain we drove away ( for Mr. G Franklin Keisler's, and , soon the citizens of Priceville turned | out to meet us After er-joying the unbonnded hospitality of Mr. Keisler. where we have spent many pleasant | boors before, we entered upon tb* ( duties of the mission which called u* ( there and served those present, though in a misty rain. We then pulled for Gilbert in order to get to ' work eorlv next morning. ( Mr. R L K?is!ert one of the most i prominent cmzens of Gilbert, a clever gentleman and a valued mem* ber of the County Boatd of Control, | had extended a special invitation to stop with him which was promptly accepted and we spent the night most pleasantly with him and family.
