a Prosperous Country.

Last week we made 8 collecting
tour through the sand hill section OF
Lexington county and, as a rule,
found the people in prosperous and
happy condition. M.ny improve,
ments of more or less Importance
and convenience have been made on
the farms and residences OF the peo
pie of that section, which adds to
the attractiyeness of the country and
tends toward making homes happy,
al d when this is the case peace and
contentment generally abides. The
wide world may be searched over
and no more hard working, energetic,
enterprising and patriotic people cali
be found than those who dwell in
that section of the county.
In our meanderings we saw so ne of
the finest crops of corn that we have
seen in long time. The ears were
large, full and heavy and it is safe 10
say that an immese crop has been
made. The pea crop is also fine, a
large crop of both the pea and the
vine having been made.
We shared the hospitality OF many
of the people, aud while our horse
was well cared for and we pleasantly
entertained by "the lords of crea
ton, the inner man was carefully
snl thoughtfully provided for by
generous housewives whose overflow
ing larders were robbed of some of
their richest stores and served in the
most dainty and appetite-tempting
style for which the good women of
that section are famous.
At Swansea we found the Rast
Brothers over ears and head in busi-
ness. They are the largest mer-
chants in that section and their big
trade keeps them hustling from rosy
morn to dewey eve. Mr.. W. B.
Rast has recently built him hand
some and lovely cage and believing
in the Divine Injunction that it is
'not good for man be>alone," a
beautiful bird will doubtless be
captured where, confined only
by the golden bars Of
happy love, she will fill his life with
the melody of her sweet songs and
gladden. his home with the bright
sunshine of he radiant presence.
