that as we'll as this section. has its share IL

that as well as this section, has its share LOT
saloons and the right kind of people to util-
ize them to the best advantage. Left there
next morning, and at noon reached Ste.
Mary's; ate our dinner under large pecan
tree on the river bank. With the spy-glass
we could see Chester and the Missouri Bot
toms in Illinois. Ste. Mary's is small town,
but has some fine Touring mills. The road
from Ste. Mary's to Ste. Genevieve is love-
ly one; it is built right on the bank of the
river for several miles while on both sides of
the road are hundreds of pecan trees loaded
with nuts. About half way up, the river
turns to the right, while the road goes
straight on. We cross two sloughs of the
Mississippi, which are spannedi by iron
bridges two hundred yards long. Between
the road and the river lies an eigth -thous-
and-acre cornfield, all under one fence; the
corn is immense, too. To the left is a bluff,
partly covered with ivy, projecting over the
road. This road was the most pleasant one in
our trip. Arrived at Ste. Geneyieve at A PM
Took a look over the town, and must say it
is about the dullest was ever in. We had
an invitation to stay day or two, but pulled
miles nearer home. Next morning we start
ed for Pennington, and saw some fine farms
on the way. Arrived at Pennington in the
afternoon, and stopped quite while looking
around. 1t is the prettiest town we saw
after leaving Ironton. But you all know
Pennington. We there laid in our last sup
ply of hen and baker fruit, and camped this
side four miles. But of the road between
Pennington and Pilot Knob can not say
much good. 1t was the very worst in all our
trip, toll-road thrown in. Cape county has
the best, especially the turnpike from Cape
to Marble Hill. These counties have their
streams spanned by iron bridges. We ar
rived at Ironton Saturday, August 10th, at
1880 A. NJ, in good repair, and ready for
another trip as soon as our business-I mean
let us. We spent our spare
time in reading, studying, making music,
&c. We had a glorious time
and bushels Of fun, but thoughts of the dear
girls left behind made the boys 'look down
the lonely road" and sing mournful songs.
Where ever we stopped the people and
friends were very kind, which we appreciat-
ed more than they imagine. L. X. r.
