Our Rounds Completed.


. for the roads are in terrible fix
This point is one of tFa largest and
most important for the Auditor in
the Fork, and quite large crowd
was out to make returns. We were
pleased to find the people OF Chspin
in healthy condition physically, f.
nancially and otherwise. 1t was our
good fortune to dine with our friend
Job S. Wessinger, where we were de-
lightfully entertained. At Chspin
Mr.. Robinson has large lumber and
brick plant in successful operation.
There are about six stores at this
place and all seem to be prosperous.
The school here, like at numerous
other points, is in an excellent con-
dition, being conducted efficiently by
Prof. John D Farr, as principal and
Miss Blanch Kyzer as assistant.
We left Chaplin about 5 o'clock on
our journey TO Peak. but were over
taken before arriving there by a
heavy storm, but We we're taken in,
however, and given good treatment
By good Samaritan in the person OF
Mr.. q. ~. Stuck. He was Samari-
San indeed. He gave us to eat until
we were filled apd provided bed
that made one sleepy to behold it.
After pleasant night at the home OF
Mr.. Stnck we left for Peak. There
We found goodly number OF the
snbstantial citizens of the community
TO return their property. Peak is in
q thriving condition, sswas evidenced
by the genial smiles and hearty hand
shake of her business men. Mr.. Jno.
Bushardt is the efficient post master
at this place and his brother Nc D,
is the obliging station agent. Peak
has two r. +. D. mail routes and
Messrs. Oscar Chapman and Walter
Eleazer are the post men, who are
charged with the important duty OF
carrying the mail. The school hereis
presided over with grace, ease and
dignity by Miss Lilla Martin, an
accomplished young lady from theu
country. Mrs. Stuck's boarding
house is place we are always pleased
to stop when in Peak. She provides
for her guests in sumptuous man
ner.
Spring Hill was the next point at
which We stopped. The citizens
here turned ont and made prompt
returns. This point is not on the
railroad, yet it is in the midst OF an
independent and thriving community.
Here We found better school than
is usually found in the country. The
teacher is Mr.. Henry Fulmer. We
congratulate the community on their
school.
Hilton was made in the afternoon
where We were pleased to meet Ben
and Johnnie Green Hitler. They are
Q pleasant pair to be with and we en-
joyed their company very much.
The business of Mrs. r. B. Hitler,
conducted by them is in flourish
ing condition. We we're delightfully."-
entertained by Mrs. Hitler while here,
as was also the Auditor.
Next morning We left in the cold,
drizzliDg rain for White Rock, where
We found it holding it's own. This
is good point and the two stores
there are getting their share of bust
ness. The school is taught by MIR.
Roland Fulmer, an efficient teacher.
Numbers of the good citizens OF this
section turned out to meet the
Auditor.
Ballentine was made in the after
noons 1t seems our i'll luck to strike
thisypoint in bad weather, but moth
ing dauntsd the good people turning
out and assessing their property.
Mr.. John Bouknight is the only mer-
chant and is doing fine business.
The Auditor spent the night with
Mr.. Fletcher Messze, while We drove
for the home of our friend John ".
