A Trip to the Eastern Side Of the County.
Last Saturday afternoon, in company
with our young friend, Jas. P. Dugan,
we left the city to pay visit over on the
Saluda side Of our County, in response to
very cordial invitation to come and
meet with Toney Creek Division, Sons of
Temperance, and install the officers
elected to serve the Division the ensuing
quarter. We travelled the Cooley Bridge
road, and the drive was very pleasant
one. The growing crops along the road
are fine, despite the fact that the grass had
gained considerable headway in most Of
the fields.
About sundown we reached the hospi-
table home of our good friend, Mir. J. M.
Cox, where we partook heartily of 8 good
supper. Mr.. and Mrs. Cox, with their
bright, interesting children, know how
to make ones stay under their roof pleas
ant. Their pretty little home is situated
within the sound Of the roaring waters Of
the Saluda, and is surrounded with fine
scenery.
About 81 o'clock we repaired to the
Hall, which is located In the second story
of the building occupied as store room
by Messrs. Cox q Dugsn, and not far
from Mr.. Cox's residence. Here the
meetings Of the Division are held. Toney
Creek Division is an old. d.established or.
ganization, and at one time had very
large membership. Last winter its MEM
befs became little Indifferent and did
not attend the meetings punctually, and
as consequence the Division ceased to
exist. It had done much good work in
that community, and several Of the most
faithful members determined not to give
up their charter, but to make another
effort to revive the Division. a meeting
was held recently and the Division has
again gone to work in earnest. The meet
attended, but from what We know Of the
ladies and gentlemen who were present,
we feel safe in saying that they will not
let the Division get idle again. The fol-
lowing officers were installed into their
! respective offices to serve the ensuing
quarter: Worthy Patriarch, T. B, Dugan
Worthy Associate, Will. Butler; Record.
ing Scribe, J. s. Acker, Jr.; Assistant
Recording Scribe, Miss julia Butler; Fl.
nancial Scribe, j. NJ. Cox; Treasurer,
Miss Seymour Acker Chaplain, J. g.
Henderson; Conductor, Robt. L. Dugan
Assistant Conductor, Mrs. r. L. Dugan
Inside Sentinel, Willie Acker; Outside
Sentinel, A. N. Ragsdale. The Division
decided to meet regularly on Saturday
| night before the first and third Sundays in
each month.
After the meeting adjourned we accom-
panied our young friend, Robt. L. Dugan,
home, and spent the night under his hos
pitable roof Mr.. Dugan and his charm
ing young wife know how to make one's
stay in their home pleasant. Our young
friend has been in the matrimonial har-
ness only about year, but he is working
| nicely.
Sunday morning we drove across the
County to Honea Path, where "Children's
Day." was being observed by the Metho
dist congregation Of that village. When
We arrived there the exercises had COM
menced, and, as the Church was crowded
to its utmost seating capacity, we did not
get in to hear any of the addresses, sew
eral OF which were made. At II o'clock
an intermission of two hours was had for
| dinner. We dined at the home Of our
good friend, Rev. M. MCGEE, and spent
most pleasant hour with his interesting
family.
The exercises at the Church in the after
noon were equally as interesting as those
Of the morning, and the Church was
again crowded. Prof. J. G. Clinkscales
had been invited to address the School in
the afternoon, bat sickness in his family
prevented him from being present, which
was great disappointment to his numer-
| GUS friends. Short addresses were made
by the pastor of the Church and Prof 81.
n. Watkins, of Greenvile, and Mr.. A, C.
Latimer, Of Bolton.
Mr.. Milton Dunlap is the Superlnten.
dent Of this Sunday School, and makes an
excellent officer.
We returned home Sunday afternoon,
having had q most enjoyable trip. The
crops throughout that section of the
County are very promising and the far
mers are all in fine spirits.
