X1 t , I Thinking that it may be of m e terest to sgme of my friends among ie your renders, I will tell you some e tiling concerning my new Held or -t labor. We all reached I .oris (Horry county), on January 8 of the new ; y year. Since then we have been j 's working pretty hard, but I am 11 thankful to say that our lines have : s' fallen in pleasant places?among a large hearted, christian people, a: ^ people that seem to appreciate the ! ? preaching of the gospel. ,j We tind in Horry county an excel-: lent, class of people. They are Imrdv working, thrifty and God-fearing, re and they are generally in good ciris enmstances. I think Mr Editor, le I that the timedionored joke about! d the utility of the p'Tsimmon tree i:j kr Horry is no longer applicable, if in>f deed it ever were, as the people here ^ appear much more enlightened than >e the average citizen in some other, counties. They are well provided with "hog and hominy", and there is ,e also some "legal tender" amongst ,r their belongings. Every now and in then thev meet their pastor with a I five or ten dollar bill. Since com-; ing here it has been my sad duty to ' solemnize the funeral of one of our j friends and last week I was called [ r. down on the sea-shore to unite a, happy couple in holv matrimony?: i Mr J E Bryan and Miss Susan i I Stone.
