Vlnltto Boiling Spring* Mr Editor:—If you will give me a small space in your good paper I would like to give you an account of my visit to Boiling Spring*, N. C. I went up there Saturday and spent the night with Mr. Geo, Byars. He has a lovely wife and a sweet little girl. He also has the finest farm I ever saw I saw the most corn and fodder there I have seen in a long time in one place. I think Boiling Springs is the gar den spot of North Carolina.They have four stores there and do a good busi ness They also have a telephone system and a fine marble >ard there. I took dinner Sunday with Mr- Hutnbrick and wife, two very nice young people, and then started for dear old Gaffney. o. \v. n. I Gaffney. Jan. 11, 1903 $ioo Reward, $ioo.
