shades Of evening bringing us up all sit

supper, set us to thinking that lodge

peculiar circumstances. but just then we
were content to take the world as we
found It. In fact vc H'.ite agreed with

parry but hiz soul ard the God who
made it.. :"o,. people i'o!ler for solitude
withou; thinking that it IL a shickiY Set
tied place, full o7 neno7ys. Solitude il
the last place for good man to go 20,
and the only place that a wicked man
can't live in. Egen Wild beasts don't like
solitude, and lu7 to see the smoke of a
chimney. Solitude il small doses IL all
well enuH, but % miles sonar Nv it would

Il will not 60 10 extend this idea fur
ther, however, and particularly as Mr..
Billings has covered the whole ground
SO well, and We a-e satisfied that he
would have enjoyed the same content
that we did, and have pronounced
Wright's 7cry good place to be in.
Columbia is being rapidly built up,
several ne'r stores are in process Of erec-
ton, while not 2 few arc already finished.
The great wonder is, where does the
money como from. The most striking
feature is the great number Of elegant
private residences which are being built,
and not less strange than true is it, that
a majority Of them are the property Of
men who have cnly lately sQuatted, and
who belong to the corrupt Ring, and
who, only little while back, mad not the
whcTcwithal to put up decent log cab
in. The public treasury! What a gold
en- egg layer it has proven to these greasy
carpct.baggcrs. They are squeezing the
goose pretty hard now, and there is eve
RI reason to belic7s that they will Kill
it.
One OF the signs Of improvement is
the spacious store Of the Messrs. k!na7d.
1t is now nearly completed, and when
finished, wi!l be ono OF the largest, hand
soonest, and most attractive in the city.
The large plate glass for the front win
dpws, the largest Of their kind, I fee:
wide by 10 in length, are a marvel to
look at. We never saw handSorncr
plates. Pretty soon the long Counters,
and endless snc'Tes ard drawers, will be
filled with AL the fabrics essential to the
peoples wants, and then these enter
pris;ng gentlemen will reap the harvest
Of business which they deserve. Not
many of the merchants have gone in
quest Of fall goods as Jet, but they are
| all preparing for, and looking forward
20, brisk fall and winter trade.
The State Fair is being talked of, and
will be a great Success, and it may not
be aniss Just here, to state, for the ben
eft Of 4 few who seem not TO know 1t,
ths: this Fair Of the Mechanical and Ag.
ricultural Society is rot one and lhcsamo
with the Institute Fair, to be hcld IN
Charleston, on the first Of November.
We mention this because We have been
told thcrcare those who think that the lat
ter is the State Pair, and the only one.
If that impression exists it should be
corrected.
\ day was pleasantly aad r7oftaoIy
spent in the city, and on Saturday morn
in3 wc llft fer W;nsboTo, still on the
track Of the babes il tie woods. Wins
bcro is q thriving town of about fifteen
hrHIrcG inhabitants, and we'll supplied
with stores, but like all other places,
business is very dull just now. Here
wc rsn into Marcus Brown, the keeper
of TIC hotel in that thriving town, and
right glad was he 10 meet with us, at
least so he said, and we have good rea-
SOD 10 believe in his sincerity, for he
has no: kept public for this long not
to know that but small are the pecunIary
attractions Of country editor. lie
knows a thing or two, yet neTerthc'
less, an invitation was extended to- dine.
Noble Marcus, thou lo0kest brown,
as brown ms mid summers foliage. Take
the Browns nil the world over, they are
jolly, clever set Of fellows, and take
precedence over the Smiths and Jones
