passed night under the hospitable roof
of Judge D. Fl. Palmer and much enjoyed
conyersing with him on various topics Of in

there made me welcome and / shall never

1t never before had fallen to my lot to go
eastward from IrOnton; hence | had never
seen the country Immediately adjoining that
live town on the east and south. Often
when reading about the beauties of Arcadia
Valley felt that the writer had, for reasons
best known to himself, given exaggerated
sketches of the loneliness of said valley; but
| freely confess that was agreeaby sur
prised by the view presented to the eye at
and about the Langdon Estate as well as by
the vast body of arabic land that stretches
for miles southwark and eastward. l very
much enjoyed the ride from Mr.. Martins to
Ironton next morning. The air was cool
and bracing and the scene before my eyes al
most enchanting. The road is one of the
best | ever rode over in my life in any por-
ton of the country, and, on each side of it
the evidences of the fertility of the numer-
Gus large fields and of the prosperity of their
owners were such as to convince any one
that it is indeed, a choice portion of the
State and that the praise bestowed upon it
by its residents is fully warranted by the in
herent and visible charms which Nature so
literally accorded to that favored region.
The view, as one approaches our County
Seat from the east, Is much enhanced by sight
Of the three towns, Arcadia, Ironton and
Pilot Knob, nestled at the foot Of the noun
tains that bound the Valley. Ironton is
particularly lovely in appearance, with the
Academy of Music, the Court House, Odd
Fellows Hall, the Public School Building,
the Churches and Other prominent features
of .he towH. Take it all in all, the view of
the Arcadia Vailey-tewn and eountry--isso
grand and inspiring that could not refrain
from thinking: If it Is thus naW-!sin the
sere and yellow leaf''-in Autumn, what
must it be in mid summer, with the grow
ing crops, the abundant foliage of trees and
shrubs and the singing BIRDS
had the pleasure of listening to the gen.
uine Democratic address delivered by Hon.
w. r. Edgar at Belleview, on the afternoon
of the 18th instant. Mr.. E. Is a forcible
speaker and his audience manifested their
approval of his remarks by their applause.
Many Of them will soon manifest, IN an I'M
mistakable manner, their abiding faith in
the adMinistrative ability, the untiring In
dustry and above all, the ineorrpptible in
tegrity of Grover Cleveland.
On my return home passed night with
Mr.. l.. C. Ruddock and his parents. l
found them to be we'll inf ormed farmers
in easy circumstances and their hearty well
come was enjoyed and appreciated by their
guest.
