are again on the way to Farming
ton. The weather is so exceedingly
warm that, though driving slowly,
the perspiration drips from the
horse, and our head becomes so
hot that a bath in Pigeon Roost
creek is necessary for relief. We
arrived at Old Lynnville about
nightfall, stopping at Mr.. John
Wagstati's where we always find a
delightful home. After few hours
drive on Saturday morning, 9th,
we were rested and refreshed at the
pleasant residence of Mrs. Furgur-
son, near Cornersville. The early
afternoon finds US struggling on our
way oppressed by the heat, but soon
the breezes begin to blow, the clouds
gather; now it is raining behind US,
nov upon the right, and now we are
just upon the border of the heavy
rainfall. We hasten on our way
and the clouds hasten too, until
marshalling their dark battalions
upon the right and left and in the
rear, they reinforce each other and
send down a food of rain. Now
the winds drive the rain upon us
from the left, now it beats heavily
from the right, now it faces us with
its driving energy. We rush for
shelter under the thick foliage of
large beech tree; but the driving
rain is forced down through the
thick foliage and falls upon us in
copiouss streams. We hasten on
through the swollen little streams,
along the flooded roads, passing
through Lewisbprg with pleasant
memories crowding upon us, and
pleasant faces greeting us until we
enter Pennington crowned with the
splendors of a glorious sunset. The
broad beams and threads of golden
light clothe the hills and valleys in
the widest splendor, and give to
the darkened clouds of the east an
air of striking sublimity. Stretch
ing across the sublime skies from
HORIZON to horizon the bright raic-
bow adds to the splendor, a trans
ceadent beauty. The sun sinks,
twilight comes on, and the grand
scene fades from our vision, leaving
US wrapped in silent admiration of
the glories of nature and in adora-
ton of Him who spake into exist
ence such matchless beauty and
splendor.
Monday, Doth of July was spent
in the pleasant, hospitable town of
Lewisburg. We shall long hold in
grateful remembrance the kind at
tention shown us at the residence of
Rev. j. N. Brown. In the after
noon we received much pleasure and
entertainment by looking at the sun
in eclipse.
We cannot soon forget the kind
ness manifested by the family of
Mr.. Pyland with whom we had
home during our stay in Farming
ton. On Tuesday night, July Both,
a splendid entertainment was given
to the wedding party at DIR. Now
Inns. A large number of friends
were present, and from 10 o'clock
P. NJ. until O'clock A. NJ, a most
and most delicious sup
per was served. The beauty and
chivalry of Pennington ard Lewis
burg and Shelbyville were there, and
all went merry as a marriage bell.
Early on Wednesday morning,
July 31st, the bridal party left
Pennington for Giles, passing
through Lewisburg, Cornersville,
and stopping about noon at the
Brick Church. After a luscious
dinner and a sweet rest in the shade,
the party resumed their journey,
hating again to rest and cool at
the source of Pigeon Roost creek.
Here hot, thirsty lips were cooled
and refreshed by waters as pure, as
bright and as sweet as gush from
the beautiful, green, fertile hills of
Giles. After another refreshing
rest in a delightful shade they again |
pursue their journey. Bless God
for the sparkling rills, the gushing
the green grass, the !
grand forest trees casting their |
heart-reviving shadowsl
A little after nightfall the rarty
arrived at Mr.. j. NJ. Braley's where
they found a select crowd of friends I
ready ~ receive them and heartily |
welcome them to the bounteous |
boards and kind Inequalities of that
pleasant home. T. s.
