Simmons Liver Regulator has been in use in my family for some time, and I am satisfied it is a valuable addition to the medical science. J. Gils. Shoktkk, Governor of Ala; Ron. Alexander H. Stephens, of Ga., says: Have derived some benefit from the use of Simmons Liver Regulator, and wish to give it s further trial. "The only Thing that never fails to Relieve. I have used many remedies for Dys pepsia, Liver Affection and Debility, but never haver fsund anything to benefit me to the extent Simmons Liver Regulator has. I sent from Min nesota te Georgia for it, and would send further for such s medieine, and would advise all who are sim ilarly affected te give it s trial as it seems the only thing that never buls to relieve, - P. M. Janmst, Minneapolis, Minn. Dr. T. VT.

Oar ancient ancestors were nomads, and, once in awhile, this, old nomadic spirit overcomes ns, and then, if we cud, we wander until we are tired of wandering and we are glad to settle down again to the treadmill labor of the farm, the counting room, or the office. , r Among thos s recently afflicted with, this wandering mania were three young Morganton merchants, hom, for the sake of convenience, we shall designate Messrs. Gould, Vanderbilt and Gebhardt, and the editor of The Mountaineer. Oar proposed line of travel being off the railroad lines, we chose a light two horse wagon with spring seats and canvass cover as the best vehicle that could be obtained to withstand the jolts of the rough mountain roads and to afford shelter from the sun and rain. Thus mount ed and with a good supply of provis ions from llildebrand's, our party left Morganton on a morning near the close of May, bound first for the trout streams of Watauga and thence wheresoever our fancy might lead. Getting a late start the course mapped out for the first day lay northwest across the rolling hills of Burke and Caldwell to the famed valley of the Yadkin, passing through Lenoir, the county seat of the latter county and one of the prettiest towns of North Carolina, renowned for the intelligence of its society, its good schools, and the high moral tone which it has ever maintained. Many private dwellings' are very pretty and the solid blocks of three storey brick stores and hotels on the "square" give the place a city like appearance, which is not dispelled when, upon entering the stores, the shelves are seen to be loaded down with choice stocks of merchandise, which the en terprising merchants are selling, in large quantities because they keep abreast of the times and advertise in their local paper which their liber al support has enabled to grow into a journal second to none in the west in infiaence and circulation, and which is now printed upon R Hoe & Company cylinder press with a ca pacity of 1000 copies per hour. Lenoir is the prospective terminus of the Chester and Lenoir Railroad, one of the best narrow guage b'nes in the South, which has been sold to the Richmond and Danville Itiilroad Company on condition that they com plete it to Lenoir by March 1 , 18$4, and there is no doubt that it will be completed at or before t'at date, as the grading is all d-nj and nothing remains for the purchnstrs to do but build the trestles and lay the track, which work they arc now pushing forward with vigor. Its completion will make Lenoir the natural center of trade for a number of rich counties and will inaugurate an era of pros perity in that quarter which will be felt both by town and country. That night we rested at the hos pitable farm house of Mr. Farthing on the Yadkin Valley six miles from Lenoir. Encircled by beautiful wood clad mountains and threaded by a river as clear as any stream in the State, it has been Called the "Happy Valley" from its resemblance to the beautiful vale described by Johnson in his Basselas. in ante 6cWwiidayi it was renowned far and wide as 5 the home of wealth, Kuernenfc and boundless LuHjitiaiiiy. The war played sad luvus with' the gallant sons of the Valley, but t'-ioso who survived have not forgotten how to be hospitable, and some of thehihave regained the wealth of which they were stripped by the war. ' " We had a bemtiful view of he valley that Imgbt J une morning. The broad, fertile bottoms were waving with grain or checked off for corn, which was just making its appear ance. The fields were olive with workmen, the birds were warbling in trees along the river bank, and ' the mountains cast long, "cool 1 shadows across the valley. It was ' ' one of those views that: we never forget an4 can never describe. At the head of the valley where the Yadkin; debouches from its wild mountain confines is the pretty man rifacturing town of Vattersonjthe seat of the cotton and woolen mills of Qwyn, Harper & Co j who? fcvmu faciure a fine grade of thread sheetingr and woolen' goods. These factories afford a practical demonstration of ta? zact tnat manufacturing pays ai ... i .. .. . - 4 . ijha f South and' paya' Iiaadsoaely.' 27. i883. r ; . rhe cotton factory has recently -: been ? doubled in size.- new and : improved . looms and spindles have been pur chased, and yet' the proprietors can' t hardly supply the demands for their goods. We were shown through by Mr; Aired,, the foreman, who is a fine machinist, and one who keeps ' fully abreast of the times. : ' From Patterson our route lay up a branch of the Yadkin, to the foot of the Blue Ridge, and across the ridge on the finest ' mountain turn--, pike in the State. The grade is .ex cellent and the scenery superb. ; The road winds for eighty miles along the foothills of the blue Ridge, until it crosses the summit at Blowing Bock and then stretches away across the high plateau of Watauga, the birth place of rivers and the reodevouz of clouds. . ' Blowing Rock, proper, is a beet ling cliff on the southern face of the Blue Ridge, at that point 4,400 . feet high, overlooking the upper valley of John's ; River, and across which a. steady breeze sweeps from the wild, glens below and wafts back any light article that may be thrown over the versre of the precipice. Bio win sr Rock, as known to the summer tour ists, is a cluster of boarding houses, about two miles from thiB cliff, where hundreds of visifk)re flock every jrear drawn thither by the beauty of the surrounding scenery, the purity of the atmosphere, and the fine trout fishing in the streams, and especially in "Silver-Lake a beautiful little sheet of crystal water, on the banks of which our party spent the second night of our pilgrimage at the pretty and popular boarding house of Mr. L. W. E9tes. In our next issue we will tell our readers of our adven tures on the Watauga river and - on Grandfather Mountain. - SIGHTS AND St EXES IS CAROEIBf A. SfORTH Xaylorsville (Xenn.) Reporter. On Friday, the 18th of May, I left my home near Taylorsville and turn ed my face toward N. C, to visit my friends and relatives- who liver.in Western N. C. To make such a trip alone was a considerable task for a boy of only fourteen summers Af ter leaving the head of the Bdane Creek valley, J pressed toward the Stone Mountain, near the top of which I found a plaoe called Trade. This is a beautiful location with con siderable improvements in the way of dwellings, church and storehouses. Thence I passed down Core Creek, a very fertile valley with many marks of improvement, both in building and farming. Late in the evening I pas sed Hoone, the county seat of Watau ga county. This little town is situ ated high up among the mountains of Nor th Carolina, and is said to be the highest town east of the Rocky Mountains. Passing on, I found my self at the residence of Mr. Joshua Winkler, who lives on. the New river Here 1 found a home for the , night. Early next morning. I mounted my hoxse (whom I call George) and made my way towards the top of the Blue. Ridge. This is a beautiful ; place. Mr. Estes has a beautiful house high up on the mountain; also Mr. Mor ris, who lives on the divide .between Watauga and Caldwell counties, is well situated in what we may call the !'Cloud Land.!' i Five miles further, I came in full view of tho valley of. John's Biver. I cannot describe the beautiful scenery of this 1 plice;. 'one must see before he can i wive much idea of the grand scenery that pre. . sents itself to view.
