Alighting from the iron horse at
the thriving little town of Waluut
Cove and partaking of a sumptuous
dinner with an old friend. I was
soon Leading at a J. I. C. speed for
Danbury in one of Messrs: tlighull
& Parrish's turnouts. About one
mile north of the Cove I waked up
to find niyeelf in the midst of an
exciting fox chase, which is the
chief amusementof the mountaineer
at this; season of the year. I learn
too that foxes are quiio plentiful in
this section.. As I passed along
the mountain ridges the temptation
was so great I could not but yield
and occasionally fill my pockets
with chestnuts. The wind . was
blowing and at times they would
shower down some wbat like a hail
storm, j ' I was very much amused
at the mountaineers having " no
stock law in this section. It was
nip and tack who should get the !
chestnuts, man or hog, there being
from two to one dozen watchiujr
eacb tree. I think if an election
was held in chestnut time (as theae ;
people call it) on the question of
no fence it would poll a la mo ma
jority, leaving the chestnuts be
hind for the boys and hogs to fight
over. I passed on taking in the
bsautiful mountain scenerj- and
rugged cliffs and after climbing
hills and pitching off iojiollows I
landed at the
TAYLOR HOUSE, j
headquarters of the Piedmont
Springs, I was kindly received by
mine host Capt. Taylor, and treat
ed to a first class supper served up
under the chief supervision of Mrs.
Taylor, who knows just how to get
up a good meal, and the reader can
imagine a tired and hungry travel
er Low. quick he will make friends
with such a table asthis, so I need
'not describe the facti It -seems
that a storm has just passed over
and all is calm and quiet here, the
great throng of health and pleas-,
ure, seekers having returned to
their several homes, giving Capt.
Taylor time to read the newspapers.
After a pleasant chat with friends
and a double schedule time, rest, I
resumed my journey northward
two miles crossing the Dan at a
point called Seven Island Ford,
this being the spot where old Uncle
Drury ) Smith, the father of tho
well-known Smith family of Stokes
county, lost his life. There is a
wonderful history connected with
this old gentleman and his large
family which will perhaps bo told
to future generations. Leaving
this lonely spot where nothing was
heard but the rolling stream and
the songs tf birds, I wondered on,
thinking whether or not the sound
of the whistle and hammer would
ever be heard at this lonely place.
I still continued my journey north
ward near the Virginia line and af
ter wondering around over this
wild mountainous section, breath
ing the pure air and drinking the
iron water for a few days. I find
myself very much refreshed.
Traveling East Irorn this point I
next pulled up at Esq. P. D. Wat
kins, one of the leading planters of
Stokes, who lives at home and
boards at the same placeJ Mr. V.
iVa man of perhaps GO Isummers,
and has held some office in the
county or government for 15 or 20
years. I After partaking of a good
old-fashioned country dinner. I
continued my journey in tho direc
tion of Rockingham. By hard
pushing, with bud roails and deep
mud. 1 was' able to reach
I AYERSVILLE,
a small village on the lino dividing

A geueral conference of all
evangelical Christians iu ' the
United States, under toe auspices
and direction of the Evangelical
Alliance of tho United States, is
called, to be held in Washington,
LDecember 7th, 8th and 9th. The
object of tho Conference is to study
the following questions: 1. What
are the present perils and oppor
tunities of the Christian Church
aud of the conotry? 2. Can any of
them be met best by a hearty co
operation of all evangelical Chris
liana, which, without detriment to
any denominational interests, wfll
serve tho welfare ot the whole
Church? 3. What are the best
menus to secure such co operation
aud ttt waken' the whole Church to
its responsibility?
The Bible teaches us that true
religion is love to God -and love to
man, and that there can be no true
love to God where there is not love
toman. Do we not .-xpect more
from those professing entire purity
of motive, a holy, natictified life,
than from those making no pre
tensions to this superlative grace?
We look . for consistency in the
everv day w-alk audcumwrsutiou j
a spirit, of meek, modest, lamb like
humility; a benevolence, disinter- j
ested, exalted. Christ like that
looks not merely on its own things,
but also on the things of others ; a
cheerful, smiling, complacent yield
ing to the rights of others where
duty calls Wo expect ! a meek,
retiring self renunciation, gospel
like, in those testifying publicly
the assurance of faith, great peace
of mind, joy unspeakable. Living
