be an improvement on the present
road Our friend and trusty driver
was Maj. T. NJ. N. Jones, our com

Gilmore, the very popular county
| Clerk of Lawrence county, and Rev.
Peyton SoWell, Pastor of the Meth
odist Church, Savannah. With
eommendable perseverance we made
it to MiIlville by little after dark,
and were well cared for by Capt.
Ezell ofthat place. Here we were al
so treated with no little kindness by
our friend Randolph Neal, who is
doing well, as we learn. The next
day we put in our appearance at
Fayetteville by P. NJ, having made
the trip in just II hours.
We were most pleasantly domi-
ciled with Col. Holman Of the
law-firm Of Holman and Holman.
Here we found an elegant and cor
dial entertainment, with our Bap-
fist brethren, and we "dwelt to-
gether in unity"
The pleasure of the sojourn was
enhanced by our being, quartered
with couple of clerical friends of
our own town.
The two Col. Holdmans are
brothers, and partners in law, and
occupy the same lovely home.
Their two little households realize,
to us, the blessedness of the hap

just here we mention the pres
ence in Fayetteville of some 200
strangers, in official attendance up
on the deliberations of the Confer
ence, to say nothing of a very
handsome representation of out
siders. The next morning the
Fayetteville Express appeared
headed conspicuously by these omi-
nous luminous in view of the
large attendance of these proven
bill poultry lovers:
Caekle, cackle, little chick,
Cackle, cackle very quick,
For the hour is drawing nigh,
When Wen need you for fry.

to betake themselves to the copses.
But we wish to bear testimony to
the plenty and to spare that was
lavished with liberal hand by the
Fayetteville community upon their
late visitors.
Pulaski was numerously repre-
scented. Rivers, Dinwiddie, Maj.
Jones, Crawford, Lester and our

We say it in a low tone and in

pew at the Presbyterian church on
Sunday night by the fat insurance
man, who was escorting a young
widow. We made obeisance to his
obeseness and got out of the way.
He handed her into our pew, walked

that we might follow. 1t was very

We tried to be very discreet in
Fayetteville, as it was our first visit
and then, our senior was there, at
his old home, and we were thus
doubly challenged to be on our p's

gallantry did not allow us to decline
the acquaintance of the fair sex
whether young ladies, venerable
matrons, or even the blooming wild

do any escorting as did the good
