A great many people in the lower
portion of our county think that all
those who live in the extreme north
western section live in baskerville, OF
as they put it, up in the FeasterVille
country. But such is not the case
The Feasters, Colenans, Crosbys and
many others are considered Feaster'
Vile people. The application was
more general once than now; but il
you go by postofices the matter
changes.
Feasterville psstofice is at Mr.. Jno.
A. F. Coleman's. He lives further
east in this section than either Wolling
or Crosbyville. Miss Jennie Coleman,
his daughter, is postmistress. This
section enjoys the benefits Of good
school taught by Miss Clyde Clayton
She teaches the Fcasterville scheol and
is very much liked, and deservedly 80.
Hopp pestoRce, named for Hopp
James, son of Mr.. B. II. James, is
located st Mr.. Butler Estes. He is
postmaster. This postofice if still
further east of Fessterville. Those
1ho are Prssbyterians in this section
worship at Salem Church, about four
or five miles south of the postoff1ce.
Wolling postofice is at Mr.. J. G.
Wolling's store, about three-fourths
of mile north of Maj.C. W. Faucets.
Mr.. Welling is postmaster; runs
store there and one at Shelton. The
one ut Shelton (on the Spartanburg
and .Asheville road) is managed by
his SON, Mr.. John Walling, and MIR.
Jones NcLain. They connect by tele-
phone.
The Crosby Institute building is
where Rev. W. B. Estes teaches a
fourishing school. 1t is near the
"Boarding Home, in which Mr.. S. D.
Crosby lives and is about mile North
of MIR. D. P. Crosby's.
Crosbyville postofice is at Mr..
W. W. Crosby's store. This place is
further north than any mentioned,
and is not far from where the "Dark
Corner" used to be-before Sherman
carried it off. Mr.. W. W. Crosby is
postmaster. The mail comes to his
place from Leeds, a station on the
G. C. & N. road, which is about five
miles only from the postofice. Men
from this section sometimes take the
t1ain at Leeds to come to Winnsboro.
Some of our readers would hardly
think that this road was near enough
our county to be of any service to its
citizens, but such is the case.
Mr.. ". Samuel Weir, who lives be-
tween Wolling and Crosbyville, has =
tree Of the forbidden fruit" It got
its name from the fact that Mr.. Jas.
@. Davis said if the apples Eve ate
were as good as them he did not blame
Adam for not resisting the temptation
to eat. He gave practical demon
stration of his appreciation of them.
The northwestern section OF our
county is full of schools and churches.
Beaver Creek, or as it is sometimes
called Red Hill, is a Baptist Church
where Rev. j. D. Mahon breaches.
Then there is Cool Branch Baptist
Church, with Rev. D. A. Swindler
pastor; and Antioch, a Methodist
Church, where Rev. Mr.. Stevenson
breaches.
The Cool Branch school is taught
by Prof. W. Robinson, who is very
popular with pupils and patrons.
Then below Major Faucets is the
Liberty Church. This is the place
where the Universalists worship. 1t
is not far from what is called the
house," but not the one
above mentioned. Hon. T. W. Tray
lor lives in this building now. There
is service at Liberty Church once a
month.
Sc ii can be seen that there could be
no ozark Cornsr'' with so many
churches and prosperous schools. The
reporter for TIE NEWS AND HERALD
has always found these people hospi-
table and sociable. The schools are
kept up by private subscription after
the public fund is exhausted, going to
show how these people appreciate edu-
cation. They generally run about
eight months in the year. The princi-
pie Of making the farm self-sustaining
prevails in the section, aud with per-
haps a few exceptions. every man
feeds at his own crib aud cats his
home-raised meat.
While looking for the ozark Corn
er" we proved, by process Of exclu-
sion, that it was not up there with but
one single e1ception-tbat of Mr.. j. K.
Nevitte. He had gone 10 Chester, so
we missed him. If be tells us that it
is not on his plantation we will then
have proven that it is in Chester
county.
