THE EDITORS JAUNT.

morning ere the nrsG rays u Iue
King of Day had bathed themselves
in the mist of the new born day and at
others after he had wrapped the ORA
peries of night around his drowsy
form and sank to rest behind the
western hills, and still at other times
in all sort of weather, it was indeed
refreshing to drive up to such apleaI-
ant home as that over which our fei-
low citizen and kinsman Perry Y.
Fulmer, is the lord and master where
We could rest our weary bones and
minister to the requirements OF the
inner man. This home is beausi-
fully situated at the foot OF Little
Mountain and around which peace,
happiness and contentment sheds
halo of serenity that is refreshing to
the wayfearer within its gates. MIR.
Fulmer is man of sterling qualities
Of character which makes q useful
citizen and desirable neighbor. He
farms on the theory that it is better
policy to raise his own supplies than
to have his corn crib and smokehouse
IN some other mans backyard, the
result is, of course, that there is al
WAYS a side Of bacon in his smoke
house and an ear Of corn in his crib.
1t Mrs. Mary e. Busby's We
found a large crowd OF patriotic
taxpayers, who had come out to make
their returns and 90 save trip to
the court house. After transacting
our business at this place we left for
BallentiDe, and by invitation took
dinner with Jim Boozer. Here a
sumptuous repsst was spread and
we enjoyed ourselves to our fullest
capacity. We were glad to be in
formed that our friend was meeting
with large measure of success in
his business undertakings and that
he is on the high road to prosperity.
His domestic affairs are under the
skillful direction of lis charming
daughter, who is we'll up in
the art Of housekeeping. and it is
q delicious luxury to rest in his COM
Portable and cheerful home. He is
indeed fortunate in having such an
accomplished daughter to preside
over his home.
At this point We left the Auditor
to board with his relatives until Mon
day and pulled out for home to spend
Sunday.
Early Monday morning We were
on the road again in hot pursuit after
delinquent subscribers, with our
faces turned in the direction of Irmo.
We arrived safe and sound and the
Auditor proceeded Immediately to
business and remained at his post until
the dinner horn sounded, when we
wended our way to the home of Mr..
Elias Metz to enjoy the good dinner
which we knew awaited us there.
Our expectations were fully realized,
for Mrs. Metz had outdone herself
on this occasion and we enjoyed one
of the best dinners that it was ever
our privilege to sit down to. We
staid all night with Mr.. Metz and
asser q sweet and refreshing sleep
started early Tuesday morning for
Capt. R T. Hooks, which was the last
appointment in the Fork. Capt.
Hook, and he earned the honorable
title fairly by gallant and faithful SER
