' HEM1MSCEXCES OF T1IK LONG AGO: "Heap Sees, But Few Knows.". - By Uncle Josh. *"Soar not too high to fall, but stoop to rise. We masters grow of till that jye despise, Oh, then, renounce that impious selfesteem . Because riches have wings and grandeur is a dream." Continuing our sketch. Last" week we were at the Dr. Caughman home, now where still stands a portion of the original dwelling though greatly* improved with convenience and comfort, and dreary to them, the home of Mr. Quincey E. Caughman, a nephew of Dr. iBalah Caughman. and it can tfuly be said, he is-n-chip off the old block of the well known Caughman family. Quincey has been in the employ of "Uncle Sam" for several years and is popular on Lexington route five, because of his prompt and obliging rural mail service. He and Mrs. Caughman have an interesting * ' family of which any parents should feel proud of the results of their good training that abide with them at home. Next to the Caijghman homo in the "Jong ago," was the Leroy Hendrlx hAmn Jinn " I" " ? - ituo niucc ucun tui li anuy, and now on this lot is "erected the two model residences of Messrs. Jesse D. Taylor and John J. Taylor. Mr. Jesse Taylor and his family occupy tlieiV home and he is the reliablo enginoer ( of the Lexington Cotton Mill. Archie D. Martin, Esq., his clever and genial son-in-law. his wife and little "Dnnncr", the pride of home, reside , with them to enjoy their good advioo and the blessnigs of dear home, white Miss Anpie Lou, their daughter, is one of the important and beloved teachers in the Lexington High School. All of them remain under the one "vine and flgtree," enjoying the comforts and pleasures of life at home. Mr. John J. Taylor and his wife, since the marriage of their daughter, Mjss Pearl, to Mr. .Kellers Mit<?iell and living with them at home for some time, their devotion and fondness for her and the "little ones", were such that they did not feel they could allow them to separate. So after ' Mr. Mitchell purchased the Meetze . home, out on- - Church street, they , moved with them to their new home, and they are all now as contented and happy as they could be. Mrs. Rude Meetze, her children, and Mr. Albert Seasfe. two tAmtlW?s. a T "7~~" occupy the John Taylor home and&re nicely situated. The lot and cottage adjoining Mr. Eeroy Hendrix. was that of his brother, S. Fred Hendrix, where he and family resided for years during his business here, and before he moved to Lioesville. After this the property was purchased by the colored folks, or membership of Bethel A. M. E. church, and it was greatly improved and made a parsonage, for their minister. Messrs. H. N. Kaminet- and Tally R. Keisler purchased the vacant lots between the colored parsonage and Air. E. Belton Roof and they erected nice homes where they now reside. The former is one of our live merchants and business men, while the latter, Mr. Tally R. Keisler, is one of the efficient accountants of the Home .National Bank. Mr. E. B. Roof was the first to build his enviable home sometime before, about 189p, on a portion of this same Hendrix lot, and has enjoyed its comforts and conveniences, and ho, and his good lady have reared quite a useful familv Of children three Vinvu I and three girls. Mr. Roof is still engaged in the mercantile business with the able assistance of his sons, Lewis and George, constituting the firm of E. B, Roof & Sons, who are receiving a liberal share of the patronage from the town and community. Mr. Noah Hendrix, Aunt Eugenia and Ivitt, his wife and son, were the J little family that lived in the cottage home site in the bottom, but they all departed this life long ago. And now Mrs. Gibbs and daughter, Miss Lessic Moyer, occupy this home. Next was the original Noah /Hendrix home, two stories, which was destroyed by Sherman, with a store house that stood near the dwelling. Then came the Frank Boot & Shoe Shop and the Fredrick cottago near the corner, next the street, which will be remembered by some of our old " citizens. Lrfiter Uncle ~ Nathaniel Harman lived in the Fredrick house, and we remember when but a boy, that he built an ell to the house and used it as a bar-room. Thousands and thousands of drinks and drunks were sold, besides the pints .quarts and gallon? of whiskey were also sold there. And from the results and fruits of it we have seen many fights and knock downs on the Streets. All under 11S M * "'.,V .*' V ' censo by the state, yet many were arrested and jailed "for being drunk and disorderly". We still remember seeing one man strike another ip the face with a. full quart of whiskey, knpcking him down senseless on the ground. At another time, a very yt^ung man, drunk,{ knocked down an old white headed man and stomped him on the ground. Afterwards many years passed and the buildings we have been pointing out as ones standing, and being part of the town, were destroyed, not one remain, as they were in the long ago as land or town marks. The firms of Meetze & Caughman composed of John 11-. Meetzo, Felix U. Meetze and Elias J. Canghman purchased the old Horeb church building: located about three miles west, out Ih the country, and moved the framo and erected a store house immediately on the Fredrick corner and they did a general merchandise business there for some' time. They also built an eight room dwelling ,on the west line of the lot and Mr. Elias Cgughman and family lived there, and If we mistake not, he lost his wife. Mrs. Sarah Caughman, while living there, leaving him and two daughters, Berly and Jodie. Berly married Mr. Wm. Stork of Columbia, Jodie never married and is living with Mrs. Stork and family now in Columbia. Mr. Elias Caughman died suddenly in Columbia Some time ,8ince. Meetze and Caughman finally built and moved on" the eastern corner of Main and Church streets and conducted their business there for some time. Eillie Kaminer was tapster of the bar-room in rear of the store. Henry P. Roberts and J. Albert Meetze built a store house adjoining the store on the corner and they were 1 in the dry goods business for some 1 time, perhaps, up "to the Civil War. Mr. Hehry P. Roberts died not long since and Mr.- Albert Meetze nhd his son are still living in Co.lumbia. All the members of Meetze tt Caughman are c^nd. Mv vm.... 1 - ? . v, nmiiiiivr (nu Business ; on the Fredrick corner after. Meetze & Caughman moved, and he and his family also occupied the dwelling: on 1 this lot for some time. This is the , lot where now the department store of Caughman-Kaminer stands. , We remember Newton Kygcr ran a drug store in the dry goods store after Roberts and Meetze went out of business. Dr. Bully Hendrix was a clerk and he Was always known for his queer trickd, so he had a desire to acrami frol tlW-?Cfvc4p-o*-?*-iioi??--e<? 7 'Sleulltz powjttirs", drflnking one powder fix-st,\ tljbn taking the second p'owder. i\nd the" effects were that ho came nous bursting his stomach, the effervescence coming out of his mouth, nose and eyes, and it, was some time before he came to himself again. But he was certainly satisfied with his experience. Revi See wns also a temporary clerk for Newton in his absence one day? in the drug store. A customer came in for cabbage seed and was particular to know they were fresh. Levi said he could not say, for a man had just come and carried away all the old seed, but supposed he had put' them back in new pTipef^and returned them for sale, and of course the customer went away without seed. Air. Ed. and J. B. Kyzcr, at one time, were /n the mercantile business on tho west corner, Meetze & Caughmaa's former stand, Main and Church street, prior to S. O. Ks^minor's opening there. Ed. Kyzer went to Georgia and opened business and spent the. remainder of his life there. SOl'TIl'S T/RADERSHIP .IX SANITATION*. Norfolk has a wonderful new marl?et .house. In design, equipment, conveniences and health-conserving innovations, it would sem that this building leaves nothing to which modern sanitary science could add.

In the country, genorall as well as In the ^outh. It Is another demonstration, furthermore, of the fact not unhersaly recognized that in many matters of sanitation the South is now and has long been thej leader in the United States and therefore in the world. The records show that not only through Southern initiative was the yellow fever terror banished the South and practical}" from the~ world, but nowhere wore sterner and more elective measures taken to prevent the bubonic^or black plague from getting a foothold in America. In whole cities, such as New Orleans, Mobile, and other seaports, every building was made absolutely rat proof, 'so that nowhere could the plague carrier^ find lodgement, even should they break through the shlpside precautions against their debarkation^ The individual drinking enp and the anti-fly crusade, now of universal adoption, originated in the South. New Orleans, to the unknowing a synonym for "the city care forgot," Inaugurated and maintained, a dozon or so years ago, such a rigid system of inspection and sanitation in its hotels, restaurants and market houses as will be fbund even today in few if hny cities north of the Masori a^id Dixon line. Under the direction of the State Board of Health, the kitchens of all public eating houses were nut In thorough sanitary condition, the mar- j ket houses were cleaned and screened, and waiters were not allowed even to carry an uncovered tray of oysters on the half shell to a customer across the street. * In Staunton, Va~., a market house was erected some twenty years ago which had every sanitary feature that _ could be devised at the tline, j\nd all over the South there has been for years an advance in these mattors such as the larger cities ef'thfe North NOTICE, r ? -"'if' i Sale of laiiuls of the Estate .of J.
