Notes ef Travel.
To the Editor CT the Dispatch:

Late in the afternoon of March
3lst, I bid adieu to Madison, Fla,
after a stay of three weeks among
these kind people. One feels loath
to leave them, perhaps, never again
to meet them in this life. We spent
q night at jacksonville and one in
Columbia, and ea,ly Sunday morn.
ing We arrived at Batesburg and
took the Carolina Midland, and at
slarise Sunday morning, April End,
FUND me home again after seven
weeks; absence. Now, Mr.. Editor, if
you never have left home this long,
YOU could scarce imagine how happy
you would be to meet loved ones who
were a~nxiously awaiting your return
and, to say the least of it, there is
sill no place like home, yet, it does
a fellow good to be away some times,
and see how other folk get along.
1t helps to keep the blues off and
learn him not to grumble at the table
and at the noise of the children and
m any other things be SO often does.
Sorry to say the fruit crop will be
very short; aud the blackberries are
all killed; yet we hope for buckle
berry pie and honey, and from the
soft breeze, arm and genial sun
shine, and the opening bloom and
buzz OF the ever busy bee we feel
sure summer is nigh.
The farmers are very busy plant
ing their crops, and the health and
prosperity Of our community, we
trust, are on the upward tendency.
1t was our privilege to be at the
organization Of a large Sunday school
last Sabbath, at Hulon academy.
With your scribe as Superintendent
and many willing hands to help on in
this glorious work you may expect to
hear from US in the near future.
The grain crop, though rather
thin is looking fine.
The farners>generally are planting
a fair watermelon acreage and with
the help of a kind providence we
hope to be able to rest under our
own vine and fig tree when the leaves
have again withered and faded.

Public obligations Of the private cit

THE use Of the term private citizen
said the general, is a misnOmer. In re-
public there is no such thing as pri-
