On Monday of last week we ventured out on our semi annual round with our very obliging and efficient Counfcv Audifor, G. A Derrick. The first place was Edmuud, which is slowly improving. The depot which r/ has been much needed is being built. Since our last visit here Mr. John Reed, the faithful postmaster and a good man. has passed away. Mr. Geo. W. Reeder, as bondsman, is performing the duties for TJacle Sam. Mr. Joseph Sharpe has applied for the office. Hon. W. H Sharpe has built a uice dwelling at his place and has also a neat law office at the sfcatioo. The, Auditor was very busy here and was kept Kgr?rv over time. At 2 p. na. we arrived at Gaston where we met a good number of the sturdy sous of toil ready to render on oonnnnt nf t.hnrf urnrldiv r>f)RfiAR sions to the Auditor. The place has sot improved excepting Mr. Castella Goodwin has erected a neat store house near bis dwelling. He is a clever man and will no doubt meet with success in the mercantile business. Mr. Hartley is now the main ^ merchant and is a popular young man. Mr G. A Goodwin is the genial and prompt agent for the Seaboard. Gaston is a great wood yard and also ships a quantity of turpentine. The community is made up of well-to-do farmers anc*. is particularly a good corn and cottcn section. Night found us comfortably siia-. ated at our old friend, Joseph Eider's, at the Cross Roads. Pr?nc , oar old faithful horse, too, seemed to have knowledge of t is good treatment here and consequently was not long in covering the distance. The Auditor and his assistant spent the night with Mr. W. A. Derrick Early, as usual, tbe good people came iu and made fair returns, and seetnod prosperous sod happy. After diuDer we were at Mr. Jacob |v.. J. Mack's, one of the busiest men oo Pond Branch. We found him and the rest of the substantial citizens as pleasing and contented as any people on the globe. Oar warm friend, R E. Mack, came on time and invited us to spend tbe night with him. Being familiar with his excellent fare and tbe especial kindness of Mrs Mack, why, of course, we accepted,. and' had we not we might have thought we had not been in that community. Ranee has an enviable plantation and is certainly independent. Next morqing we were at the busy town of Swansea, and found improvements and progress on every aide. Business was good and the merchants were in fine spirits over last year's results and tbe prospects of tbe future. Prof. Martin with the able assistance of Misses Julia Turner, of JohostoD, and Oiara Johnson, of Swansea, is teaching the Dublic school with a fine roll of pupils,while Miss JosieLangford presides efficiently over the pay school with a large number of students. Swansea is certainly a business centre, backed by a productive country and good, substantial people. It is one of the largest points for the tax officers With the proper efforts on part of her citizens and the community they could enstall an oil mill or other enterprises, which would add incalcuable value to the place. After we were not forgotten by any means by these good people, and their prompt regard for obligations to the printer we were made to feel that we were not toiling in rair, but that our efforts iu furmsniog a good county paper were appreciated in a substantial manner. By special invitation we accompanied Mr. Mack back to his home where we certainly enjoyed the warm fire and excellent supper and was soon closely tucked away for a pleasant night's rest. On time we were again in Swansea for the second day's work, and after issuing a number of receipts, at noon, we shared the hospitality of Mr. Lawrence Smith and his kind family. He and family now again occupy their home in town, believing truly that "their is no place like your own borne." Night foucd us at Mr. J. West Crim's, where we eijoy ourselves and feel contented. West is a good, jovial man, full of fuu and amusement with his quaint sayings. After a good rest we started to the Bed Store in threatening weather. Here we met a very large crowd, and after the Auditor completed his work we were royally entertained by Mr. Herbert Geiger and his good lady whom we are always delighted to meet. Our next point was Mr. W. N. Martin's, where we always enjoy ourselves. But few taxpayers met us here and the Auditor concluded to drive to Brookiand. It was a ven- < ilia mil", ?That's what a prominent druggist said of Scott's Emulsion a short time ago. As a rule we don't use or refer to testimonials in addressing the public, but the above remark and similar expressions are made so often in connection with Scott's Emulsion - "? j i.1 ? ? mat tiiey are wormy ui occasional note. From infanc}r to old age Scott's Emulsion offers a reliable means of remedying improper and weak development, restoring lost flesh and vitality, and repairing waste. The action of Scott's Emulsion is no more of a secret than the composition of the Emulsion itself. What it does it does through nourishment?the kind of nourishment that cannot be obtained in ordinary food. No system is too weak or delicate to retain Scott's Emulsion and gather good o o from it. ^ ^2 will send you a. iti{Be ruri that t*:'s p:ctur? ir t'.ic tCPtL ) form oi al/?cl is oil The wrapper Ay T-jUi|5 Hs of every b-ale of Emulsion you ^l^Jl 'I bjT* W?\fj$ SCOTi & BOWSE j lit Chcztts 409 Feed St., N.

We left our teams and the Auditor aod I concluded we would go over and sea what the Legislature was doing First enjoying one of Ben David's excellent fish suppers, we brushed off the mud and Btepped in the ball as big as cur Doted friend, Josh Ashley. Fortunately we heard some good speeches on various bills and were pleased with our visit. After adjournment, by special invitation, we called on Representatives Etheredge and Hutto, who are always active and alive to the performance of their duty to themselves and their constituents. Our last place for the week was in the hustliDg town of Brookland, Saturday. We - were pleased to note some progress in the growth of the place. Th: business seemed good, merchants well pleased and everything jovial and lovely. Here it was our great pleasure to share the lasting kindness of Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Shull and Mr. and Mrs. Paul We>singer. We aire always glad to I e with them.x On time we closed boots and were enroute for home, reaching Lsxington about dark, safe and sound, glad that we had went among the people of the southern section of our county and pleased to find them in good circumstances, thoroughly embued and alive to their future prosperity.
