were gone, and by some accident one

brought over in the buggy pulled by
tho negroes.
One Of tho most remarkable cs-

were all around them, and near them.
Passing from Mr.. Us to Squire YIN.

of planting more cotton than corn.
And this sentiment We find to prevail
SO far. We hope the whole District
will adopt the same plan.
After this we landed at our friend $

worn out by our tramp, VIC had to re-

knows so well how to extend. Being

DEAR News On Tuesday last,
when old Sol was descending to the
point of hiding behind tho Western
horizon, we left Winnsboro for liant.
Of course only "Shank's Mare" could
be secured on which to make the trip,
And SO tho start was made. On The
first day, five miles were made on
the second, about several halts were
made. However, the house of a
friend was reached, near old 1.cbanon
Church, and here We arc still.
Our first nights rest was at our old
friends Mr., John Weldon, who knows
how to make one feel at home.
We talked to him of Billy Shcr-
mans propcrty-scckcrs, and found
that like the lion, or rather the devil,
when that pack of wolves got to his
place, they sought what they could dc.
YOUR, and took great pains to make
great "dcvour." They broke locks,
although the bolts had been opened
for them. They cursed the little
children, and tore their dresses up to
make potatoc bags Of But it would
