The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1899-02-08
February Salesiay.

Last Monday Was February, or midwin-
ter, sslesday, aud it was trnly a tiI ical
February day. 1t opened with dark low
er;ne clouds scuring through space at a
rapid rate aid ut intervals the rains de-
scendsd in torrents IN hiking the day such
an one as to cause only those whose
business was v.ry urgent and would
permit Of no delay, 10 leave the
warmth and DRY ness Of their treslde.
No Que WAS willing to brave the warning
elemsnts TO come to town, but a few were
comp"lled to do so. 1t was not a labor OF
love. but the mandates OF business that
called them away from the cheerfnlness OF
their comfortable homes into the rain and
dreariness OF the di>a2reeable day. The
roads leading 10 this pace are IN a ~resched
condition. with perhaps one exception.
and that exception stands as Il PRACTICAL
demonstration Of the usefulness OF. and The
excellepcy and stability. Of the work done
by the chain gang We refer to that piece
Of road work on the hill at Eighteen
Mile creek. If more of that class OF work
was done on all the roads in the county,
bad roads would be a thing Of the past.
Not many of our country cousins visited
us that day and We greatly missed the ia
maliar face Of many a friend. All the
property advertised was sold, but at low
