Monday morning early we left home for the Fork, one of the most fertile j? sections of the county, inhabited by r honest and industrious citizens, who Bp?,- are prompt in all things, regarding their obligations as sacred. They are I?; clever, hospitable, and know how to p - v treat their friends at their homes. A little late we arrived at the growing town of Chapin, a central point of the upper Fork, which must prosper and continue to grow. Chapin is improving and is destined to be a better trade center. Messrs. J. S. Vessinger, J. S. Boozer, C. P. Rot in son. Friek & Son, Dominick & Amie s:, w. BL Williams and J. H. Friek, merchants, all clever business men, paying highest prices for cotton ' and - i country produce, seem to enjoy a good trade. The educational Interest 9&- is looked after by Mr. John D. Fair, one of the best hdttoators in o ar county. He is principal of a large school ? v. there and is ably assisted by Miss Blanche Eyzer, of our town. We found a large crowd of tax-payers, very impatient, necessitating our |k helping the auditor. Both of us were kept busy all day without dinner. At night we were in care of our good p- friend, Mr. J. S. Wes9iuger and his amiable wife in their substantial and comfortable home. Next morning we were at the store completing our work until 11 o'olock when we drove for Peak, on the banks of the famous Broad. We were glad to find the merchants in a clever mood and doing a good business. They are: Messrs. W. H. Suber, who is the oldest merchant of the place, and a sturdy, clever citizen, while Eargle & Eargle, both popular young men, are enjoying a large trade, which contin. . ues to grow; Chapman & Derrick are also receiving their share of business. ! Mi99 Cora Lee Whittle, an aeeom- j plished and refined young lady of old ! Edgefield county, who is a competent and able teacher, is in charge of the school here, and is popular with the people, and the children in her care will receive wise and best training. What Peak greatly needs is a free ferry, for various reasons. Her business interests would be increased and the ferry convenient to both Lexington and Fairfield counties, as there is no public crossing for a distance of several miles each way, and we hope the proper officials will give the matter dne consideration. Of course, .while here we stopped at Mrs. Stuck's hotel, well known for its excellent fare and popular with the guests. After completing our work Wednesdaynoon, we pulled out for Spring Hill, glad that we had been at Peak and loath to leave. At Spring Hill wt met but few persons, though at one time it was a prominent place. While here it was our pleasure to call 011 our good friend, Dr. J. W. Eargle, who has been very sick for some time, but we w*ere glad to find him rapidly recovering. Night found us comfortably cared for by our youiig friends, Johnnie Green and Ben Hiller, where we were elegantly and substantially entertained at the home of Mrs. R. B. Killer at Hilton. Hunt the Fork over and you cannot find a more clever or jovial "pair" than Johnnie and Ben. They are popular with the people, and are in^eharge of Mrs. Killer's business and are doing well. The taxpayers at this point turned out unusually well. They were all ih a good humor and the Auditor turned them g: *W. 22 U)20 MAIN STREJ Solicits a Share WW WWW ir Home Bank f rington County Bank and it ^ eople fair and honest treat- ^ every three months, is paid ^ t at THE HOME BANK, r J ARANTEED. ?

The editor was not forgotten by these good people, who paid their dues promptly. - * Our nest place was White Rock, where we always delight to visit, and a large number of citizens from this section ware here to make theSgf returns. We found Messrs. Richjrctson & Richardson and J. B. Sheateapioing a good mercantile businesa^; The night was spent with our old . friend D. A. Richardson, where we enjoyed his generous hospitality. Next morning we left for Ballentine where it is a fact that we have never visited, except in bad weather. However, the good old Dutch people of this community met us promptly, and after serving them we left for our next point. We were indeed glad to find Mr.. Julius Ballentine "busy as a bee In a tar bucket.'V, He is popular and enjoys the confidence and high esteem of?the people; generally. We reached Irmo in due time, dispatching the people* as they: came; and sending them away satisfied that . ? 4 A ? 4 ? # . -1 they naa penormea taeir required duty. By special invitation we spent the night pleasantly at Mrs. Irvin Nun&maker's, the mother-in-law of Auditor Dent. We regretted to find her confined to her room, where she has been sick for some time. After a delightful night's rest we opened up in Lorick & Lorick's store Saturday morning to complete the assessing and newspaper work at Irmo. The merchants all seemed cheerful and satisfied with their trade. Here you find a set of fine business men full of push and -energy. They I are: Messrs. L. S. Mathias, H. A. & D. Lorick, J. W. Hook and Wal- I lace E. Lorick. Sharp, at 11 a. m., we started out. I for Mr. Elias Metz's, in lower Fork, j where we always delight to stop, j After enjoying a bountiful dinner we j were at work taking returns. Through with the week's work, and j cheered with the idea of reaching our i own firesides, we drove ' rapidly for ; home, reaching there about 6 o'clock. Shealy-Lindler. On Thursday, Jan. 24, 1907, the residence of Mr. and Mrs. N. E. Shealy was crowded with a very large num! ber of folks to witness the marriage I of her beautiful and charming daughi ter, Miss Dollie, to Mr. Earl Lindler, both of Lexington county. Promptly at 4 o'clock appeared as ; follows: Mr. Milton Shealv with Miss i * : Bessie Shealy, Mr. Ben Cumalander 1 with Miss Helen Shealy, sister of the i bride, then came the happy couple j which were united and made as one ! in a few minutes by Rev.
