words are wanting. Tbe trip thus
far on the way to Nashville has been
without Incident, but almost ever

of beauty and grandeur, especially
about Round Kuob. Most of The

you turn to the right Missionary
ridge eemu to connect with tbe
oircjiious wall and sweeps far to the
south, seeming to link itself with
the Lookout range to the south weat.
You seem to be on a low pentnp
plot cf limited territory and you
exclaim Ohattanooga (Eagle's Nestj.
After forming our party and
driving over the great Chickamanga
fields as we haye already noted, our
party took passage to the top of
Lookout by cable cara.
Did Nature purpose to defy busy,
meddlesome man, or did lie make
these rugged points to view, from
aerial heights, the persevering energy
of His own handiwork in creating a
being that should so nearly defy
Omnipotence Himself?
Tbia line is 4,800 feet in length
and straight as "the arrow flyeth,"
save tbe gentle undulations of the
road bed . As you are drawn np to
the power house or landing point
yon are rising 65 feet in 100. Yon
instinctively fee) a little safer when
your feet are resting on tbe parts
that dp not nioye.
Here we fonnd Lookout Mountain
Hotel to be a gigantic affair,
thoroughly equipped and ready to
care for 600 gueBts. It was
o'clock and we enjoyed keenly our
hotel lnnch, which means all yon
can eat of a grod unpretentious
meal.
We lost onr compactness and some
saw tbe sights briefly and returned
to the city, but Miss Lawrence, Prof.
Clsxton, Mr. Hackney and The
Standard's representation lingered
long and sipped deeply every cup of
a joyous amHzement. It was here
that we saw that tbe Eagle's nest
was less figurative than we thought
in the morning.
Chattanooga, viewed from onr
standpoint, 1,580 feet above, lost all
its grandenr. Its towering, massive
building', ita spires that seemed
uhooting into the regions of the
stare its smoking furnaces and
shops, its solid atreets and pavements
and Its bustling busy, people seem
as but a little patch where children
had been playing in tbe land and
had made their little roads and play
houses. Orchard Knob even seems
but a flat, uninteresting spot and
Chattanooga as a whole is as noth
ing. Lookout is a range gentle in
the south, but abrupt and precipi
tous in the extreme nothern part.
Ilere we stood on Point Lookout
and admired the Tennessee in ita
serrentine course as it winds down
the great valley, surely there is
none jujt like it. Ho boats, bow
ever, are on it now, as the waters tie
low.
A toy of a looking thing that we
learn is a whole train cf cars
creeps cutely almost beneath our feet
and beteen us and tbe liver, on its
ay to Nashville, We gaze and ex
jlaim as we ca ch new objects of
vision. We venture near tne edge ot
every flit rock that hangs out over
aud we gi zj at pointa hun
dreds of feet below tbat threaten
to break our every bone if we do not
stand or hold steady.
On a west, side table rock we
lingered as tbe sun dipped down in
humid air and sank beneath the
i uLttinf. We held our watches
d founl that it took the mountain
rest just two and one-fourth min
utes to rpread oer all the eun s
disk. Then we implored the muses
o help us word tbe beauties and
i el 1 cur triumphant sensationn at
thatsun8et. There were tin la that
we bad not observed before and
heaveu's canopy teemed decorated
with tew designs. Again we wended
oar way back- to cur hotel but pass
-d by to the east and foutd yet
another dargr spot where we eat
and viewed tbe feeble pparks aa they
poj ped out and lighted the oily and
her suburbs. Then again we saw
that Chatanooge has rcom to glow.
It is but an eagle's nest with wide
boi d T3.
lituruing to our hotjl above the
clouds we ate a sumptuous dinner,
then sped our way down th- moun
tain again on tho cable car. We
took in all the sights we could till
1:30 o'clock Wodneaday morning,
hen we doubled ourselves op as
beat we could andsnoosed while the
Nashville, Chatanooga and 8t. Louia
:rain curied ua toward ihe great
Centennial. f
When It wB Bgain dey we saw
jomethingof Tennessee farms wi b
whioh we were delighted. At
Vlurfreeeboro we saw the forts and
other marks of tbe sreat battle there.
T'he most foro'bl ewdenr-e of thai

He had read and beard a great

On Wednesday afternoon the street

THE CHINA GROVE SCHOOL.
Will Open January Int. The Plan.
Dr. A J Crowell, of China Grove,
who waa in the city yesterday, gave
ub some of the points about the
proposed school building to be
erected at the Grove.
Mr. C C Hook, a well known
arcbiteot, has drawn the plana anil
tney were expected to arrive at
China Grove last night. The plans
call for a two-story building with
twenty dormitory rooms on the
second floor and four large recita
tion rooma and a dining and a cook
room on first floor. It has not been
decided upon yet, but it ia probable
tbat the building will be of brick.
It will be finished by January 1st
and school will probably open on
that date.
One of the best educators in the
State will be principal of the school
and he will have able assistants.

The latest news ia railroad circles

which saya tbat it ia reliably in
formed that tbe railroad being sur
veyed from Mockaville will make a
turn at a point three miles this side
of Cleveland and run parallel with
the Western road to Salisbury. Thia
will give Salisbury direct connection
with the Norfolk & Western at
Winston, and wilt cause freight
that now got s via Greensboro, to
go direot to that place. The Sun
saya the road may be extended to
Mooresville, but not for some time.

following:
Mr. Sam Wiley and Mies Btrtilah

Marriage is an eye salve that re

Conversing with a man wbo al

Tbe wise man profits byxe-

profits by tbe experience of others.
When a man has a reputation for
wisdom be can eay foolish things
and bis frienda applaud tbem as
sarcasm.
Some men. are never eatiefied to
remain at the bottom of tbe ladder;
they always try to get farther down.
A man gets, very little credit for

The cirl who tries to imitate a

fol'owing from Thb Standard :
'The Concord cotton market is
following close in the footsteps of
her excellent baseball team. She1
beats eyerytbing in tbe State, and is

And then comments on it In this
way:
"Now come off brother, don't get
such a hump on yourself, wby

boys ? You disbanded jour team
too soon. And as for cotton, your
market baa been behind Albemarle
all tbe season. Concord ia great

If the editor of the Stanly Enter
prise isn't at least four weeks behind
time in both baseball and cotton
circles, be would admit, with pleas

actually lead this section of tbe State
in paying the highest price for all
