On last Sunday your correspondent
had the pleasure of taking Il flying trip
over the Greenwood, Laurens Il Spar
tanburS X. R.,.to the beautiful town OF
Waterloo, first station in our sister
county Laurence. The first station
reached on our journey was Bradley.
which was named after Gen. Z. III. Brad
ley. the founder and builder Of the "a.
IL X. division OF this road. 1t was by
his diligence and perseverance that the
road was pushed forward to Il speedy
completion and his na,ne has been SO
linked with the building Of this road it
will be handed down to many genera
tons to come. Nerdcry, the next sta
ton. is Il thriving place, situated in II
fine Farming country and bids fair in the
near future to be Il town Of great I'M
portancG. Greenwood which might be
termed a railroad center. is Il beautiful
town, situated in the centre OF Il fine
farming section. Its religious and cdu-
cational advantages cannot DC surpassed
by any town in the up country. The
number Of beautiful new residences and
the beautiful new dcpo. OF the A. e. X.
Il. r.. is enough Of themselves to show
he prosperity and enterprise OF the T..
II. and also the people OF Greenwood.
Among the many bushes h,uscsS we
notice particularly those of j. Il. burst
x Co.. j. II. Simmons, and j. w. Payne,
who occupy the handsome brick store
rooms erected last summon by j. II.
burst Il Co. Mr.. II. +. Riley certainly
deserves the hearty applause of the
citizens Of Greenwood Tor the beautiful
hotel, which stands on Maize Street,
just in front Of the depot. After lcav-
ing Greenwood, we passed through 4
very fine farming country, and we could
see progress written III large letters
over every farm house door. The first,
and last station in Abbev:ilc County.
after leaving Greenwood is CoroAaca, Il
beautiful little town, which has sprung
UP in the last six months. 1t has three
nice store rooms. One is used for IL
drug store, and the others for general
merchandise, and also Il splendid depot,
which WAS laden with the tleccy staple.
We predict Tor C6ronacl IL grand and
glorious feature.
The conductor gave the signal "all
aboard" and we were soon speeding at Il
rapid rate and soon reached our dcStina-
ton.
We were mctnt the depot by our genial
friend and former towns,nan, Mr.. l.. Is.
Whutlev, who did all in his power to
entertain the, and we must say he sue
creacl admirably. Mr.. Whatlcy moved
to Waterloo about one year ago and
engaged in the mercantile business
and has made Il grand success. Mr..
Whatlcy having sold his sold his stock
Of goods to Mir. Fronenhcrgrr of Charles
ton. 5. c., has accepted n position with
r.. Il. Brown e. Co., Of Charleston. S. G.,
as Il travelling salesman. Waterloo has
Il population Of about two hundred,
ei:.dt or ten nice store houses, hotel ana
u Methodist church. The PreSbytcrians
and Bal'tiSts are making neccsSaary
arrangements TO build at once. We feel
confident that Waterloo will in the near
future future rival her sister towns in
the way Of mercantile progress.
On our return home we had the
pleasure Of meeting at Greenwood II
number of our citizens, who had been
attending the union meeting at that
point on Saturday and Sunday.
