A Guide to and Inscription of Some of the Most Popular I'oliit Near at Hand. 8 8 HE ENVIRONS of the vicinity possess a pecul iar charm for visitors owing to their pietur esqueness, variety, and JSxi the glimpse of the quaint life of the natives which they give. Nu merous roads lead oft' in many directions, for in this section, as in the days of olden Rome, "all roads lead to Pinehurst." There are many groves of primeval pine;hroad lowlands, with their luxuri ous tangle of holly and other shrubs ; wide expanse of plain, with sedge grass ind scrub oak; gleaming ponds, with de caying mills and moss-eovereu waier- wheels; cotton gins, turpentine distil leries, tar kilns, lumber mills, fruit or chards, grape vineyards, and everywhere, one finds the homes of the natives and comes in contact with their interesting occupations. THAGAKD'S AM) VICINITY. One of the most popular and easiest points of access is "Thagard's," located eight miles in a northeasterly direction, and reached by a road, once an Indian trail, which starts from the Palmetto gate and is plainly marked the entire distance. The place was formerly a mammoth plantation of about 2400 acres, and the home of the Thagard family for nearly fifty years. Previous to the war, it was the centre round which the life of the vicinity radiated, and the old building which served as postoliice and general store, is still standing. The old grist mill is in picturesque ruin, but the pow erful dam, which holds back Lower Little, River, maintains a beautiful pond over a mile in length and nearly half a mile wide. The old plantation mansion still stands and about it are mighty pines which thrill one with their majesty, forming a large grove, which is an ideal place for pic nickers. The semi-cultivated fields of the plantation are si favorite resort for quail, woodcock abound in the lowlands, and the wild turkey is not uncommon. On the bluff between the grist and saw mills, is the quarry from which the fam ous "Climax" mill stones have come. Lakeview, a small winter resort, lies beyond Thagard's and is reached by the road which passes to the right of the river, from which point it is plainly marked with signs. The little place is well located with a pretty pond, a hotel, stores, and numerous homes. The Union Home School lies bevond Thagard's on the great Pee Dee road, about fourteen miles from Pinehurst. It is a good example of southern academies. There is a church near by, and the great road from Carthage and Cameron cross here. MCKKNZIK'S AND VICINITY. A point of more than ordinary interest is the MeKenzie plantation, one of the oldest in the neighborhood, and only two miles from the Village. A substantial log house, erected in 1818, is the home of i typical family of native whites, who are always glad to see visitors. The spinning wheel and hand loom are still in use here, and the simplicity of the na tive life is well illustrated. The landscape is most attractive and the pond, mill, falls, and the ford below it, are most picturesque. The grist mill is still in operation and farmers come f rom miles around, as they have done for more than half a century, paying toll for having their grain ground into meal, in the old-fashioned way. The route is through the gravel pit gate at the rear of the power house, from which point oik; keeps straight ahead, crossing the Yadkin Road, and passing "Sunset Lake" at the right, a mile from the Village. From this point, the plainest left hand road is followed in a north westerly direction, the ford crossing the stream just below the mill with the house in plain view, on the hill beyond. One may return the same route, or fol low the pond road continuing on past the Wallace Farm, Pine Ridge school house and Wicker's Goat Farm to the Village, a distance of about three and a half miles. This trip is, by the way, a most enjoyable horseback ride. McCaskill's Plantation lies beyond Me- Kenzie's. After crossing the ford follow the lane up the hill, past the McKenzie house, on the right, to a point about one mile away when Nick's Creek is crossed. The road hen; turns to the riirhtand leads straight to the plantation. There is an old farm here, a large pine grove, and a pond from which power for electric lights in Carthage, Aberdeen and Southern Pines is secured. The Culdee Presbyterian Church lies be yond McKenzie's. After crossing Nick's Creek, where a road turns to the right leading down the creek, follow the direct road up a steep hill, and continue on the most direct road. The church is about four miles from Pinehurst and close by it, is a burying ground in which the graves are marked with slabs of native fat pine, which in this climate, lasts many years. Black's Mills also lies beyond McKen zie's and the route is the same as to Me Caskill's, as far as Nick's Creek, at which point oik; turns to the right and passes Ritter's, then on to the Southern Pines road to Carthage, which leads to the mills. r WICKER'S GOAT FA KM. Another point, very easy of access, be ing but two miles distant, is Mack Wick er's Goat Farm. The route is through the Goat Farm gate, back of The Caro lina, taking the left hand road leading in. a northwesterly direction, and crossing the ford at .Toe's Fork, which is just be low the farm buildings. A number of goats of all ages and conditions will be found here and their merry frolics fur nish entertainment for young and old. The return may be made in the same way, or one may continue on to the cross roads near the A. & A. 11. R. track, turn- A
