After the fair was over I wentout to my old homestead aboutthree miles south of Columbiafound the same old mansion onthe same old hill but alas I itsoccupants were all gone withnothing to remind one of thembut the small mounds that covertheir silent tombs Thus passesesedtwelve years and the nexttwelve years more may bringabout the same contrast in ourmemory

be of some interest to some ofyour people We are in a goodpart of the State It will producealmost ony thing that land withgood cultivation will producehave a huge prospects for WeI
