". The Doctor is we'll situated and
enjoys lucrative dental practice, an
evidence of popularity in bis COM
munity. We were glad to meet his
lovely wife and see his bright little
children sgain.
Leesville continues to grow and
her business is good, all the mer-
chants seem to be erjoying liberal
trade from around the surrounding
country.
Friday night we spent with our
young friend Cyrus L. Shealy, at
Summit, where he and his good old
mother made US perfectly at home.
We did indeed e1joy their good
company and excellent hospitality.
The next morning the Auditor got
right down to good work and finished
up with the tax payers in the FORE
noon, and we were soon on our way
to Lswiedale, our next and last point
for the week. Here We left Mr.. Cyrus
L Shealy in charge and after ex'
changing an occasional handshake
and calling on the merchants and
business men We ltfs for home, where
We arrived about 5 p m
We thoroughly epj Dyed our rounds.
It is slways pleasure to meet with
and mingle with the good people Of
any sec ion of our county.
Prospects for a good crop were in
evidence in nearly every section we
visited, and the people generally
seemed to be 10 prosperous con-
dition, in conse quence, We suppose,
OILS cents cotton. What Iity it
is that so many of our good citizens
had to sell their cotton for 10 cents
and less. We are glad though that
the present indications are that it
will bring good price next year.
Let US hope so any way.

the events, happenings and what
We saw on our rour d with the Audi
tor last week. The first point on
our schedule was Pelion. The dis
tsnce down there necessitated our
leaving home Sunday evening in or
der that the Auditor might be on
hand Monday morning to prospect
with his business of assessing. About
dark We reached our destination. In
response to an invitation We spent
the night with Dr.. Neese. We were
the recipient Of kind hospitality at
the hands of the Doctor and his
wife, and We will not soon forget our
visit to this elegant home..We find
Pelion lively little town, aid the
business men there seem to be pros
porous. From all indications the
merchants have fine trade to sup
port their business.
Monday afternoon after the Audi
COR had filed his engagement We
were accompanied by our good old
friend. John McCarths, to his home,
where the latch always hangs on the
outside, awaiting Our coming. If
we had not called 10 see these good
people, wouldn't have felt as if our
visit to that sect;oa had been COM
plete. Here We were pleasantly quar-
tered until Tuesday morning when
we pulled reips for MIR. jacob Will
liame, where we found some folks
awaiting our arrival The Auditor
dispatched what business was to be
done and We were soon on our way
TO Sieadman. When We arrived,
there were not many people present,
but the crowd increased rapidly and
the Auditor was kept busy until
sun down. The town is holding it's
own and the people there about seem
to be content with life. When night
came on We were comfortably quar-
tered at the home Of our friend VIM.
Westmoreland, where We are always
rssde. to feel at home, by the good
90 kindly accorded US.
Bill is q clever f, How, and We were
pleased to learn that his last years
business was good and his prospects
for another are fine.
Wednesday evening We reached
The huutling Town Of Batesburg.

and the other to the Cullum House.

We found the merchants not as busy
as We have seen them, but by no
means idle Farmers were bringing

carrying back fertilizers and provis-
ions. The town continues to improve
and all the ci'izers appeared to be
erjoying goodIy portion of prosper

burg and drove to Leesville. We
were sumptiously cared for at the

The rats which short time ago were
believed to be driven out of Essex, Eng
land, are now doing more damage on
the farmsteads than ever.
A litter of Ii pigs belonging to Mr.
Wackrill. of Copt farm, Danbury, has
dwindled down TO ten, of which nine
have lost their tails. The rats apparent

Mr.. Wackrll banished the raiders by
hanging n lantern in the sty.
a lamb was eaten at Woodham Wal
ter, the adjoining parish, where the
rats were so numerous that between 90
and 40 have been caught i'm a day. On
Mr.. Pages farm at Goldhanger rats
have been seen hauling small pigs away

Ducks and fowls have been found ly-

result of an exciting beat" at one small
stack of wheat. On farm occupied by
Mr.. Springett over 600 rats have been
destroyed up to the present, and on Mr..

tations. ana placed another hat on her

called il a creation in the shop, and the
saleswoman mentioned a magic name

chorus.

from the street To the hat. IL never
saw any yellow vioiets before" he said
Ism it little louG?"
His wife made tragic gesture of de-
spair. and the salesvoman looked her
sympathy for a woman who had such a
husband. Then she brought "a green
hat and placed il a bit over the wlfe's
eyes, and pinned il by deNterous shove
of turquoise pin into the lady's brain
and tied blue veil over the sufferers
face, and tw!rled hey around so that the
still vacant gaze of the man could rest
upon her. How do you like that?" she
asked, triumphantly.
The man looked hurt. 1t seemed to
him that his privacy was being unduiy
intruded upon. 1T looks awfully green

mother would never let me wear blue

Then for few minutes he looked
thoroughly proud of himself until he
sunk again into apathy.
What does he like?" asked the sales
woman, whispering sibilantly
Something black would suit. l sup
pose" replied the lady, despondently.
The saleswoman brought forth a
smart black hat and put it on the wife's
head.
Gloomy said the man, without even
being asked.
His wife arose from the mirror before
which she had been sitting and reached
for her old hat Having secured it, she
placed it on her head with quite unleces-
sary emphasis. Let us go home" she
said, and, to the saleswoman: Il am sor-
ry to have given you so much trouble,
but 1 will come in tomorrow, when l
shall be quite alone, and then l will buy

viciously.
After she had gone, bearing her con-
sort in her wake, the saleswoman
poured forth her troubles to one Of her
companions. They were the very pref
test hats in the shop, and believe he
did it on purpose so that he won't be
asked to come with her any more" she
said, sagely, at the end of her remarks.

However, and She Didn't Like
1t-Purchase Deferred
for One Day.

The Baltimore News makes the wise
and emphatic assertion that millinery
shops are no place for men. That was
decided long ago; but a great MANY men
visit them, none the less. impelIed
shereto by desire to oblige their wives
or their sweethearts, or, occasionally,
their daughters. There was a man in
millinery shop who looked. as much
as meek and humble person could. like
bull in a china shop He was a mere
nusband-that was apparent-and he
seated himself uneasily on one of the
Trail chairs with stealthy glance about
10 see whether any of the women Gus
toners were resenting his intrusion.
But, bless you. the women customers
were busy as one man putting on head
gear and taking it off again. so they did
not even suspect his presence. 1t was
evident that the man had been brought
in order that his valuable ideas on the
subject of colors and shapes might be
had, and if ever reluctance was writ
large on face it was on his.
The saleswoman brought out big hat
that Hoped in the wind, or would have
if there had been any wind. ana placed
it on the customers head. How is
that?" she asked. stepping back to ad-
mire.
The lady looked at herself from every
point of view. with the assistance of
handglass. Il think it is rather large for
my style she murmured. after five min
utes of this observation. What Go you
think. George?"
George looked alarmed at having his
name spoken aloud in such a sacred
place and glanced uneasily at the sales
