( vertisiug space for the bargains the] L"ve 10 off?rI In the Country. i; ? t Well, I am back from a little spin s around the country with the Troas- v urer. It was my intention to havo 1 gone with Mr. Bartles in the begin- ning of his rounds first week but I p found it was impossible to get off, c and therefore missed going to some t of the points he visited and was de- n prived the pleasure of meeting our h citizens and subscribers at those II places, some of whioh I was anxious to visit, however, one must console b one's self with the reflection that one I caunot have all the pleasure he de- ti sires, and that half a loaf is better t than no bread; so I did not let the a loss of the contemplated trip of the 6 previous week interfere with my * hearty enjoyment of the trip in hand, e 1 Bright and early Monday morning a we made the start for onr first desti- t nation, Adamsburg, not however, o until we had. exchanged the Treas- p urer's buggy for one furnished by a o friend. The Treasurer and myself p 'being heavy weights(?) he had serious h doubts of his huor<rv bain? annal to h the occasion, hence the borrowed fi buggy, but we had not gone half a r mile from town when wo were surely c tempted to talk Sunday School words w at that buggy, and predictions of its b collapse were coining thick and fast, 1! and we almost held our breath in our j< suspense, dreading the awful moment c. that seemed so near. In the first b place when Mr. B. got in my side t! flew up, as if I had been a feather- w weight and I felt like borrowing half s a dozen sacks of shot to hold my end p down. I wa3 very forcibly reminded a of the little boy on the high end of a v see-saw plank, and I was forced to b hold on for dear life to avoid being a spillei over into Mr. B.'s lap or si over iato the road. Oh, how we did wish we had risked the other buggy. We had just begun to rise the hill at Crosby's, one mile from town, when -T the left shaft jumped loose from the vehicle and threw the horse one way and the buggy the other, the horse mado for a ditch on tho roadside. We got him stopped and started a regular'Indian trail backwards hunting for that mischievous bolt. In a tl: quarter-mile hunt wo failed to find if, 1 and in desperation Mr. B. cut dowu tl a bush, made a peg and drove in bl 1 tho placo for tho bolt and we went K timidly on for a mile or so, ready to <-'< "light out" f^cry time we decended a hill. It held firmly as grim death, ** our courage arose nnd we went mei- w rily along, tho substitute answering m for a bolt remained in placo during l'j the whole trip, and barring the ex- j j tremoly awkward sitt ing position to n] keep iu the buggy we got nround all js right. of We arrived at Adanisburg about 10 Uj O'ciock ana iouna jut. j?. m. Adams sii busily ginning cotton. There seemed ed to be no one on the anxious bunch m awaiting our arrival. The Treasurer fe was soon established In the front room tli of Mr. Adam's dwelling, his books 1* and boxes, pen and ink in place and u* fie settled fifthi&rt to awall Tfi'e vljtirris ^ whom he might devour. While the rl> writer got on the outside and began (l,< nosing around. Adamsburg is a pretty place it is a " high point, well drained and surrounded by apparently very fertile land. Mr. Adams runs a fine saw mill, grist su mill and flour mill at this place and j8 is kept as busy as a bee in a tar buckot, go he has a splendid farm and is well fixed sc. and a good liver. There is no idle- iu ness in that homo every one of the 1 < family has a duty to perform, every so one seems tq thoroughly understand ar the business in hand and everything th runs smoothly, and the result is an ^ industrious, cheerful happy and con- Pe tented family, and the ladles on the ^ inside keep the duties of tho house- ' hold in line as smoothly as the men ^ folks on the outside do theirs. When ^ the dinner hour arrived we were invited in to a table well laden with a j,, variety of good things to eat prepared 5l by that modle Housekeeper, Mrs, (j Adams and her handsome daughter. These ladies certainly know how to in prepare a tempting repast. Mr. Adams says there is one thing needed c? there and that is a store, he says It is o! *an excellent location for one and we ro agree with him, as there i? pp store hi in several miles of the place. Here is a good opening for some one who JJ( wishes to start a profitable mercan- J1' t ile business in tho country, and no prettier place could bo foun4 than .. Adamsburg. Tho Lockhart road will run right near his house. The grad- u ing is in progress now, and a station t( will be made at Adamsburg. Mr. p Adams says ho thinks the cotton b crop in that section is between ^ and p A short, judging from the appearance v of the crop and tho numbers of bales fi he has ginned. n We left Adamsburg in ^imo tQ a reach Lockhart's by sundown. We d found that tho grading work is as far c down as half a mile of Calvert's store, v and I learn that ten miles are ready a for the cross ties, and that several [" carloads of rail are now at Jonesville. j The Lockhart Railroad Company will use their own rolling stock, engines c and all, and a large addition is soon ^ to be built to the mill at Lockhart. c It is thought that the rail on the g road will begin going on the ties t about the twentieth. Lockhart seems ? to be doing a big business in the i cloth making lino, they are shipping i almost everywhere, and they have a j great varloty of stamps they are put- ; ting on the goods aooording to the I order of the purchasers; everything f seems to be working smoothly and ( . nicely down there, it just seems like t a grea{. haPpy familv settled down by the river side. The big company store supplies everything needed to 1 live on and to wear, and everybody i seems to be happy and contented. j . The young men of the store have , opened up what they call batchelor's hall and they are running a first rate lolstery, nothing bat mon have anyhlng to do with it. It can truly be aid that here is one thing that a roman is not at tl\e bottom of it. 'hey hare "Tom" cooking for them -and he knows his bi*. We had a le&sant day at Lockhart and inreased oar subscription list very maerially. All seem to be well pleased rith The/Times. We only wish we ad every family down there on our 1st. We reached Kelton just as the right orb of day was sinking to rest, t was a beautiful sun set. I think he glowing red ball appeared larger han I ever saw it before. We stopped t the hospitable home of Mr. Jack mith and enjoyed a few hour's chat rith Mr. Smith and his accomplished rife before retiring. Mr. Smith has private telephone wire from Kelton o Jonesville which he built at his wn expense, and while it would apear at first blush as a very hazardus undertaking, he says that it is aying, and if he can secure a switch oard at Jonesville it will pay much clter. Mr. Smith is also runnlDg a ne cotton gin and is ginning cotton ight along, but he says he.thinks the rop is at least one-third short, he rill not gin more than half as many ales this year as last. Talk about iving, but Jack Smith is one who eniys that blessing, with his hogs, cows, hickens, and his bees, with more utter and milk and eggs and honey ban he hardly knows what to do ith, and with, a wife who has no uperior in the matter of cooking and >reparing a meal. I tried to stay wake to watch the stars through the rindow to see the meteoric shower, ut it was no use, I was soon in the nns of morphe.us, and saw no falling bars that nighjp. J. R- M.

There were some three or four undred bushels of coru, a room full of eas, a great loft full of fodder, peaines and hay, eight or ten head of sleek, it stock capering around the lot, to say othing of cotton, arts, wheat, potatoes ud other small crops. The culinary epartment of this model home is, of ourse, managed by his iuestimable rife, assisted by his charming daughter, ud to say that they know how to prepare a spread that will tempt the appelte and tickle the palate ot an epicure, ?ut feebly expresses it.

This model country home and irin is owned by 0110 ot Union county's ist and most progressive citizens, one ho manages his farming business in a ost thoroughly business-like manner, le who has made a business of farming id consequently has made a success of is business, simply by applying business lethods aud energetic push. This mau Mr. J. D. Graham, whose home is one the most hospitable to be found in iper South Caiolina, a section far fumed nee the Colonial days, for the unbound i hospitality of her citizens. It was y great pleasure to visit this home a w days ago, and I do not hesitate to say at the home site is one of the most autiful that I have ever seen, it is sitited ijpon a high eminence formed by thcrttree ridges south of l he Tyger ror. The house fronts in an easterly reclion aud from the* piazza a landspe spreads out, way bejond the ri*er. waving lands to the distant horison yond, of fertile hills and pastures eon, the magn liceut grandeur of which is useless for me to attempt to describe, dice it to say it is simply superb and only excelled when one stands upon me mountain top, and views the landupe o'er. Though I only had a few mutes to spare at this beautiful home, could hardly take my eyes from the ene. On the west side of the house e to be seen the two other ridges upon e first, two miles away is to be seen r. T. II. Gore's residence, so plain that ople can be seen in the yard, while raight away two miles 'further is the urn ridge, upon which stands the home ' Mr. Joseph lietsill, which with the load valleys of farms and forest beveeu forms a picture almost equal to le former. One can hardly picture in is imagination a more beautiful site for home, such is the home of Mr. Jas. D. i a ham. Mr. Graham has several hundred acres i his tract surroundiug the homestead, fhen he purchased this property it was nsidered very inferior land and some ? his friends feared he would not make inch of a success in farming it. But e went to work, terracing, fertilizing ad building up the land, with that inomitable pluck, energy and push, that nows not the meaning of the word fail e has succeeded in making his one of re b? st. and most proliHc farms of this ne farm land section; as an evidence of lis we found by ati inspection of his Harvest Time, Gathering " Time and Winter Time a?; 10 .
