FOR TIE PICKENS SENTINEL.
Pic-Nice at the NarroWs

DEAR SENTINEL: You would have no
idea what beautiful mountain scenery
we have in the lower part Of the
County, unloss you should visit the
"Narrows" Of Twelve Mile River. We
had nice little picnic thclc yestcr-
day, and had very enjoyable time.
Whom any ono has anything very
good, they want to tell about it, and
as we had such good time, we want
to talk about it. Leaving Central at
ten O'Clock, we drove within mile of
the Narrows, there we met with our
good frend Mr.. G., who had gone be>
fore to prepare tho way. Several Of
us under his guidance, soon chopped
out road to a spot near tho river
Dismounting from the vehicle, tho
party made the descent of tho bluff.
Reaching the river bank, tho sceno
with all of its wild, rugged beauty,
burst forth to our delighted eyes, and
what q scone it is to the lover Of ma
ture in all her wild rugged beauty.
The river goes dashlng, tumbling,
roaring over it's rocky bed, shut in by
two hills, covered with ivy and laurel,
and crowned with lofty pines and
hemlocks. At the point whore we
entered are tho Narrows, a place
whore the river, whom worry low, runs
through narrow passage, somo 7 Or
8 feot wide. The crowd then began
to wander up and down the river.
Evor and anon the cry of "snakes,'
would cause tho timid to scream with
fear. One poor little snake, fright
ened by the noisy crowd, attempted
to scale the rocks on the other, side o.
the river, to find hiding place.
Then the Drs. and some others be"
gan sending over leaden pills. At
length r. G. G.. succeeded in giving
him one which sent his poor snake
ship wrigg!ing into the river. One
chap was promoted to Office of"guide"'
by two lively young ladies. Guiding
them down the river TO whero there
is O. beautiful little fall made by a
small stream tumbling off OF O. cliff,
some forty or fifty feet high, there
they stopped to rest. The guide be-
ing q strong disciple Of Isaac Walton,
pitched his hook into the stream
While thus engaged, he lost his posi-
ton as guide, the young ladies slipped
off and left him "alono in his glory"
they having found more pleasant
guides. What a place it was for read
ING the book of nature and that of
human faces? 1t was so interesting
to sit upon some rock far out in stream
