Glenn Springs, and by happy chance
lighted Friday uight Of the day of
leaving in the lively town of tuion,
into the hospitable armO of the Parker
family. 1t came about in this way.
Two trains are advertised to ruu on
the Spartanburg road SO as TO connect
with the up and down G. & G., and
50 they do. The morning line is not
an accommodation train, but puts the
the passenger into Spartanburg In
quick time, the other IS and gets 10

SLOW TRAINS A HUMBUG.
There we're but four unfortunates, self
and better half, Capt. Nelson, CONNER
ciaI traveller, and darkey. The three
first named s,nelt the mouse early,
when the conductor presented little
blank book with printed heading for
inspection. 1t read somehow thus {:
no passenger allowed to ride on this
train without signing away his right
TO demand damage of the road in case
his neck should be broken, and that
the conductor must enforce the re-
quirement. The Captain and self
signed the death warrant under pro-
test, for the sake Of peace, with the
mental reservation that if We were
killed to sue for 100000 each, and
reaching Union without broken bones
at $50, got off. The, ..
DARKEY FOUND IT OUT
in a different manner when the con-
ductor demanded his fare. ft"Why,"
said he, II been told dis was com
modation train, wild nothin' to pay"
The poor fellow was undeeeived, the
callous conductor taking his dollar
and a quarter without the slightest
compunction. 1t was a pleasant change
from slow coach, dimly lighted, to a
comfortable hotel, good supper and
surrounded by pleasant friends. So
much had to be said that when bed
was sought the time was somewhere
in the "Hee sma' hours" The sleep
which followed required no rocking,
the bed was all that could be asked
for, and more than is looked for in the
average hotel. Morning cool, braciog,
a capital breakfast, and then by invi-
tation of Mr.. Parker, ST., We were
treated to
DELIGHTFUL RIDE
through town and suburbs, behind a
spanking pair of chestnuts. The ride
was highly enjoyed, Miss Kate adding
much to it by her lively sallies. Union
is well worth viewing, with its many
pretty cottages and fine mansions !;
the people are good looking too, and
have fsesh, hearty appearance, indi-
eating that the atmosphere and water
are good. Jack Jones is there, wait.

whispered in our ear that

now ; anybody must be good who is
thrown much into contact with the
ladies. Early in the day We concluded
to make the balance OF the journey
overland from Union, only Is miles,
instead of another ride by rail and IL
by hack from, Spartanburg. This was
another happy idea, and much the
pleasauter way Of the two, as by it We
had charming morning with our
friends and another first rate meal at
the Parker House. Leaving at 2
o'clock, Glenn's was reached at $50,
ahead of the regular hacks from the
other point. We cannot conclude our
pleasant experience of Union without
word or TWO for the
PARKER HOUSE,
and for the benefit particularly of the
travelling public, who do not know the
family as we'll as the people of New.

lent house is. Mr.. =. is caterer of
long experience, while Mrs. P. cannot
be excelled in her management or
keeping; everything is as bright as
new trade dollar ard clean, while the
cooking is unexceptional. Our people
at home know this all to be true to
the letter. We advise parties going
to Glenn's to stop at Union, particu-
larly if they come down the road and
take the accommodation.
AT GLENN's ONCE MORE.
