The Chapia 'Cue. rj It was the editor's good fortune to ; attend the barbecue of Summer & jBoozer, at Chapia ou Saturday, and v mingle with the good people of that a I section. It is always a privilege to ' meet with the citizens of this prosper- <r ous and growing section, but it was u I a peculiar pleasure to meet with the v | good people of Chapin. a The day was ideal, the crowd was a patier.t and quiet and there was noth- rjj ing to mar the pleasure of the ocea- ? I sion. Excellent speeches were made ^ by Hon. C. M. Efird. of Lexington and Prof. Baker, of the University of jj South Carolina. t] The dinner was delicious, being pre- v pared in excellent style, and Messrs. c Summer & Boozer were warmly con- ^ gratulated for having furnished such ^ an excellent cue. g The crops in the Fork are1 better ^ than those on this side of the river, c and generally speaking are in good t condition. This is a fine farming country and, since the farmers are v using the latest up-to-date machinery, ^ it is much easier to keep down the grass. j; The merchants of Chapin are enjoy- f( ing a fair trade, even though this is a ^ dull season of the year. c We spent a very pleasant day in- y deed, and we hope to be able to ^ attend more of these 'cues in the g Fork before the season is over. ? ?
