A Trip Through the Country.

Rev. q. M. Gray has returned
from trip on horse back through
the country to Bolivar, Hardeman
Co., Tenn, distance of ITO miles.
He had purchased horse from Mr..
Otey Walker for friend and school,
mate of his boyhood days-Dr. j.
j. Nicely, physician at the insane
Asylum n ear Bolivar; and having
a desire to deliver the horse 10 per-
son, and see the country, lac deter
mined to undertake the "trip and
complete it between Sundays, so as
not to miss an appointment.
He started from Franklin at 5 a.
m. Monday, June ID; took break
fast with DR.. S. I. F. Kirkpatrick;
lunched at spring about 20 miles
from home, where "we'uns don't
know you'ns but reckon we can
trust you to leave the pitcher at the
spring when you get through"
THIS was said by the barefooted la
dy who dispensed the cool, sweet
mild at the spring, but she decided
to stay until the repast was over, and
not lose sight of her valuables.
Pinewood was reached about 7:3O
o'clock, after a stop of several hours
at midday, and the first night was
spent at the delightful home of Mrs,
S. L. Graham, 40 miles from Frank,

which had about tagged out. After
q rest until 4 o'clock, the journey
was pursued, and the horse deliv-
cred into the owners hands safe
and sound but weary and jaded.
That night the commencement
exercises of st. james Hall, Bolivar,
were very much enjoyed, and many
old friends met. The next morning

took the train and reached home in
time for his Sunday services. On
the whole he enjoyed the trip
the novelty of it. Many beautiful
scenes; streams as clear as crys-
tai, numerous fine springs, lovely
valleys, and picturesque scenery,
to say nothing of the interesting
characters met up with, made the
trip well worth taking and very
enjoyable; and what may seem
strange to some, it was not a lone
