Respectfully,
A Trip Down Fla aSt.

It is safe to say that the large majority of those who take an annual vacation of from two weeks to d month do not go for rest. but for recreation and change of scene change which of itself brings rest. To such, the East with it's great cities, its historic places, sea side and mountain resorts. lakes glens and highly cultivated landscapes, offers m inviting field. Tho number of pnces which may be reached in few hours ride by rail or steamer in the east enables the tourist to see more in a week than he could see in n month of travel in the great central West. Macy of the eastern resorts may be visited by holders Of through tickets reading over routes of through car lines stop-overs being allowed, thus eheeting a considerable saving both in fares and time, as through rates are always less than kSal rates. Notable among tine through ear routes atfording this facility are the Ohio X Missis- sppi railroad and it's eastern connections. In connection with the Baltimore Ohio route it runs both morning and evening lines of Pull man Vcstibued Butfet Sleepers from St Louis through Deer Park and Oakland the twin
 mountain resorts of the Allcghaniesl, Har- pers Ferry Washington. Baltimore and phila- delphia to New York without change. In con nection with the Erie railroad the 0. X M. road affords direct route for Lake Chautau- qua, Niagara Falls, Watkins Glen. Saratoga and Lake George. Erie Railway trains pass directly through Lakewood on the southern
 border of Lake Chautauqua. affording easy ac- cess to that favorite resort. For White Sui- phur and other healing Springs of the Virgin jas. Richmond, Old Point Comfort, Washing ton. Baltimore Philadelphia and New York the Q. x M. makes direct connection in Union depot, Cincinnati. with the Chesapeake X Ohio route. Summer excursion tickets to aH the eastern resorts are now sale at O. k M of-
 ftces in St. Louis at reduced rates Rates to New York and other eastern points by this line are lower than by any other through car route from St. Louis.and our accommodations arc unsurpassed. Those who contemplate trip East this summer should communicate with the undersigned who will be glad to furnish descriptive pamphlets of the different resorts. reserve sleeping car berths, and supply any additional information as to rates, time and routes.

Children's Day at Palestine.

Children's Day at Palestine.
 Last Sunday was Childrens Day with the Palestine Sunday school, and it was an enjoy able occasion indeed. Your scribe was among the fortunate ones in attendance. The school used the beautifully appropriate programme Of the Cumberland Presby ytcrian church. and 1t WAS impressiyelv executed by the children, assisted by the older members of the school and the members of the congregation. The music furnished by Miss Kate Taylor as or ganist, assisted by Miss Gray Taylor and Miss Mosbey. and Mcssrs. Moore. Wilkinson. Dr. Mack and others whose musical talent is equally noted. was highly satisfactory and en- tertaining. We would love to give you a de- tailed account of the very enjoyable occasion, but want of ability and a proper apprccia- cion of the value of the space in your col umns forbid. Suffice it to say that the eyer- cises were indescribaby entertaining. Din ner was served on the grounds. aud although the concoursc was very large yet after all had eaten. more than twelve baskets full could have been gathered up of the fragments. Rev. N. E. Ffzer was over. and addressed the chil- dren in the afternoon. His talk was rcplete with profound knowledge simplied and vas highly edifying to all The day passed oil pleasantly, and all feh well repaid for what they did for Chldrens Day.
